Smaller groups, bigger adventures

Our small group sizes also mean that we can participate in adventure activities and visit locations that would be impossible with a large group; from a hands-on traditional cooking demonstration in India to a hike through rural Albania to a secluded waterfall.

From a full-day trek along the Great Wall of China to snorkelling along the coral reefs of Cuba or a camel ride through the Sahara desert in Morocco, the itineraries on our adventure holidays are guaranteed to make your tour one to remember.

Once in a lifetime destinations

Travel with us and immerse yourself in the exotic cultures of countries like Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, Jordan and Peru.

Unique travel experiences

We'll get up close and personal with the places we visit with activities like feeding Giant Pandas at a nature reserve in China, learning how to drape sarees in India, lunching with a local Lanna family in Thailand, and cycling through the rural Mekong Delta in Vietnam.

Get off the beaten track

With a local guided by our side, we’ll unlock the authentic essence of each destination and get up close with local people, their traditions and get off the beaten track and into the heart of a new culture. From a Thai Cooking Class with a local family to staying with locals in a ‘Casa Particular’ in Cuba.
