Welcome to Asia, the most populous, energetic, exotic and contradictory continent on earth. Across one vast landmass you’ll find sci-fi skyscrapers and whitewashed mountain monasteries, honking moped shoals and silent Taoist temples, neon cityscapes and saffron-clad monks bent in prayer. If you’ve come for the familiar, you’re in for a surprise. When you’re munching deep-fried grasshoppers with white pepper in Thailand, riding across the Mongolian tundra, exploring the rice paddy fields in Bali and swimming with Burmese sea-gypsies, you begin to understand: this place is where ordinary goes to die.

Sri Lanka Real Food Adventure, June 2018
Stephen Davies
Sri Lanka food tour was as stated. Lots of curries as expected, and delicious as well. Plenty of sightseeing also. Our Leader did an excellent job, so we had nothing to worry about except enjoy ourselves.

India was very nice, people hospitable. Pack light, could pick up some outfits over there. Try not to go in May and June. It was very hot.

South Korea Real Food Adventure, June 2018
Fiona Hamilton
This food tour was food central! I had a chance to try things I would never order on my own and loved every experience. The food consumption was tied nicely with sightseeing to walk around and work up an appetite again. Even the vegan food at TempleStay was tasty enough. Definitely worth the trip and it's fantastic having a guide that speaks the language and can give you the insiders tips.

Trans-Mongolian Experience, May 2018
brett blaber
The trans Mongolian trip is a fantastic way to see countries you dreamed about when you were a child. Never did I think that I would ever see a place like Moscow or Mongolia but there I was. This trip allowed me to see all this & more, so I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking about touring this part of the world. I felt completely safe on all occasions & the people of these countries were polite & helpful when needed. They also appeared be just as excited to see you, visiting them. The train was also a welcome rest break in the middle of the trip, which allowed a bit of extra sleep time or catching up on a book & also looking out the window at the magnificent landscape passing by. There are always some small niggles doing these sorts of trips, but they a minor compared to the memories you will have at the end of it. Money well spent

North India Revealed, June 2018
Tyler Bacon
I had a wonderful time on my tour however I wish I hadve paid more attention to what age ranges of people would be on my tour as I was younger by 40years to my other tour members and this had a major impact on my experience and will be careful when booking again.

Delhi to Kathmandu, June 2018
Julie Plata
The trip more than met my expectations. The trip was greatly enhanced by the opportunities to meet the locals in the cooking demonstration and the Chitwan homestay. We got the opportunity to see the major tourist attractions and interact with the locals. The tour leader was very well informed and went out of his way to meet each traveler's individual needs.

Sri Lanka Real Food Adventure, June 2018
Jennifer Lamberth
Sri Lanka is a beautiful place with friendly people. Visits to local families homes was a great experience to learn how Sri Lankan food is really made. Cave temple was the highlight of my trip, train ride had the best views. While in Kandy shop in the markets, best place to get souvenirs. While in Yala National park was able to see elephants, a bear, 2 leopards, variety of deer, water buffalo, crocodile & lots of birds, take your binoculars! Paradise beach in Marissa was my favorite location because the beach was fabulous. Trip was beyond expectations, a once in a lifetime experience, book!
