There is no hard and fast guide, however as long as there is availability and that we can receive payment in time to confirm your itinerary; then we will always be able to get your holiday booked. However, be sure to allow yourself enough time to obtain vaccinations where necessary.

On all of our tours we aim to provide you with the best accommodation available.

Knowing your accommodation represents a hugely important part of your trip, we spend a great deal of time searching out the best and most cozy places for you to stay.
I have travelled independently in the past – how much freedom/independence do your package tours allow me?
The activities included are scheduled to a rough timetable, however this is your holiday and you dictate the pace and points of interest. For example, if you want more time at one location and you don’t mind missing out on another then that’s what you’ll do.
Will I have the same guide throughout the trip?
In some instances, yes and in some no. You will always be benefiting from the attention of local guides and therefore there may be changes as you move through the county. However, we do try and keep continuity with the same guide or driver where ever we can.
How will I be travelling around Asia?
Transport is provided throughout in regularly serviced air-conditioned vehicles. The style and size will depend on the number in your group and the region you are travelling to. We are also able to book internal flights as well as boat trips and train rides. We try and make our holidays as authentic as possible so at times you may sample motorbike, tuk-tuk rides, ox cart and horse cart rides as well as many other means of local transport.
Is language a problem?
Absolutely not. You will find that English is widely spoken throughout the country with varying degrees of proficiency. So you will always be able to communicate or find someone nearby to help you out.
I am a fussy eater. What is Asian cuisine like?
The food in Asia is absolutely delicious and there are so many different dishes to choose from. The meat is of very good quality. The chili factor varies from country to country so make sure you clearly tell your waiter if you want them to hold off on the strength. We of course recommend you to try local food as this is part of the overall experience however, if you do crave western food whilst away from home then you will find absolutely no problems finding a fix in various parts of Asia.
Is Asia Child Friendly?
Asia is an ideal destination for children, it is extremely safe and they will undoubtedly find it fascinating. The entire region is overflowing with unbelievable temples and amazing historical sites (that children actually get to interact with, rather than stand behind a rope as is the case throughout much of Europe) as well as a range of exciting activities such as elephant trekking, horse riding and quad biking. Shops and restaurants are also very well equipped in regards to children of any age.
I will be travelling with children can you provide car seats?
For insurance reasons I am afraid that we cannot provide car seats and you will have to bring them with you. However, airlines should allow travelling children to have either a pushchair or car seat as part of their airline ticket luggage allowance. All of our vehicles will however have seat belts so if your children are slightly older then you would only have to bring a booster seat with you.
How much should I tip?
As a general rule, tipping is not customary in our destinations. You will receive a Holiday Information Pack before your trip which will include more information about tipping in your trip destination(s).
