Active trips
Thrilling adventures is the simplest way to describe these trips. As you'd expect, activity is the key. Though we're talking
cycling, kayaking and walking rather than rock climbing or paragliding - we'll leave the extreme sports to the experts! Active
trips offer real life experiences, combining a challenging hike, say, with a night's stay in a family guesthouse. You don't need
to be super fit for all Active trips, but they're ideal if you want a physical challenge along with plenty of cultural interaction.

Bike
If you're looking for a cycling adventure with a difference and the chance to explore the unique sights, sounds and peoples of
Asia then check out these trips. We specialise in getting you off the well-trodden tourist trails and slowing down to take in
some of the unique scenery and traditions on the roads less taken.

Hiking
On foot is the slowest, and therefore most in depth way to experience a destination and we take you to some fascinating
places and meet some great local characters. Local interaction, unique scenery and hidden treasures make some of the
most memorable travel days.

Sights
These tours are all about variety: the places, the people, the activities, and even the accommodation and transport used.
While we see the sights in the place we visit it's as much about meeting the owner of the local restaurant or finding our own
little corner of an often visited area.

Family
A long way from the typical 'child friendly holiday', Family adventures give your kids a chance to discover the world as you do.
And the best thing is there's just as much for parents to enjoy too. NOTE: this is not a baby sitting service; far from it, these
trips are an opportunity to spend time together in a truly stimulating way. And with the security of an experienced team leader
on hand, you don't need to be well travelled - just ready for adventure!

photographs.

experience. You get to stay in better hotels and guesthouses, all with plenty of local character, and may travel in private
transport as well as joining locals on public transport. You're as likely to find yourself paddling a kayak as indulging in a
