Japan by Train: The Grand Tour
Japan is so vast in culture and landscape, that going solo is a daunting thought, which is why our expertly curated, locally led itinerary is perfect for Japanophiles who cannot wait any longer to explore the Land of the Rising Sun. Our 12-day Rail Trip utilises the country’s amazing train network to visit Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Hakone and Tokyo, not to mention the rural delights of Miyajima Island, Arashiyama bamboo forest, Lake Ashi and the Japanese Alps. Along the way you’ll sample sake, meet geishas, learn how to roll sushi and watch sumo wrestlers train, as well spending plenty of time with a mic in your hand in neon-lit karaoke bars.
Vibrant Vietnam
Join a small-group trip to Vietnam, and you’ll quickly make travel companions for life. This 12-day experience is fast-paced with rural adventures and Pho bowls aplenty. After exploring Hanoi, tour through the rice fields and countryside of Northern Vietnam, marvel at the karst limestone scenery of Lan Ha Bay, then bed down on the sleeper train to Hue, where you’ll join street food tours of the Imperial City, before leaving the group in the foodie-haven of Hoi An.
Blissful Bali
Bali has long been a favourite destination for solo travellers – the laid-back island life all but guarantees new friendships and spontaneous shared experiences. But if you’d rather cut out the small talk – and the hassle out of travel planning – sign up for our small-group tour of Bali. This 12-day adventure takes you to the summit of Mount Batur for an epic sunrise, then onto the Gili Islands to snorkel with sea turtles and underwater statues. Along the way, you stop for Balinese cooking classes, aerial yoga, e-bike tours and much more, before the tour ends in the surfing and digital nomad town of Canggu.
