It's All About DIY For You

The doer, ever eager for hands-on encounters, finds fulfillment in Avalon's Discovery Excursions.

These immersive experiences offer interactive ways to engage with local culture, from mastering the delicate art of French pastry-making in Lyon (and then eating your scrumptious creation) to mixing paints and putting brush on canvas to make your own masterpiece or partaking in a lively beer-tasting session at a traditional Bavarian brewery. One of the best aspects of Avalon Discovery is the opportunity offered for hands-on learning that will stay with you forever. Moreover, the Doer's journey is one of participation, creating an unforgettable cultural connection by actively becoming immersed in whatever activity's been chosen for the day.

With expert narration by local guides who are actually local and breathtaking vistas to take in from every direction, the Dreamer's experience is one of enlightenment, where history and fantasy intertwine.
