Destination Tintin

In exclusive association with Moulinsart,we 

bring you a rare, endorsed and never-before available opportunity to travel in the footsteps of the world’s favourite adventurer ...

In a time when television and the internet didn’t exist and travel was reserved for professional explorers, royalty or the rich - Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and the Thom(p)sons took the world to places it had never seen – serenaded occasionally by Bianca Castafiore of course. But now you can pack your bags, your binoculars and your leather valise and prepare yourself for your own mystery and adventure - Tintin style! 

Expert local guides make sure you get to know the destinations well and have a great time while you are at it; while well-known Tintinologists and members of the Moulinsart team personally accompany the expeditions. Bringing immense knowledge and passion, their insights about Hergé and his inspirations, as well as their perspectives on what these countries were like when he created the albums, will be a rich and indisputable treat for any Tintin fan.

Our maiden voyages take place in India, Egypt, Jordan and Belgium - for a full low down of these exciting itineraries!
