Amazing accommodation
It’s comfort all the way with almost all the
accommodation in centrally located hotels. Think twinshare
rooms with en-suites, TVs, air-con, fluffy towels &
in some places pools & free WiFi. If you’re travelling solo,
we’ll match you up with a same sex room-mate or if you’re
keen on a little more privacy, you can opt for a ‘room to
myself’ for a little extra. And on some of our tours, Special
Stay overnights mean you’ll really do it local.
10 ways to get around
With 10 different ways to get around, you will love the way
we travel in Asia. To reduce travelling time we often fly to
get you where you’re going faster, so there’s more time
to explore. And you’ll get a real taste for how the locals
get around with rickshaw, cyclo & tuk tuk rides, boats,
overnight trains & more.

tours, walking tours & more. Our team take you inside
the real Asia with overnight stays in local guesthouses,
a stunning Chinese-style Junk Boat on Halong
Bay & experiences that give back to the local
communities we visit.

Royal Palace & Cambodia’s Angkor Wat – to the small
unexpected stuff off the beaten track, it’s all included in

fortunate.
