Country Travel DISCOVERIES handcrafts meticulously planned, unique vacation experiences for public and private groups across the U.S., Canada, Europe and elsewhere. Launched in 2012 by former staff of World Wide Country Tours, CTD has continued the tradition of avoiding crowded tourist destinations, preferring back roads to off-the-beaten-path scenic, cultural and rural attractions and "locals-only, favorite spots"—many arranged with local hosts exclusively for us.
