The Best Tours For Visiting Multiple Countries In One Trip

Looking for a multi-country trip? Whether you’re keen on a European vacation or a Southeast Asian adventure, or even a continent-crossing epic, we have the cross country travel itineraries for you.

Most people tend to stick to one country at a time, but crossing borders and visiting several countries in one vacation can offer fascinating insights into the similarities and differences of neighbouring cultures. It also feels particularly worthwhile if you’re covering half the globe on your flight – you’ve come all this way, you might as well see as much as you can, right? The biggest stumbling block is obvious – it can be a logistical nightmare. That’s where Culture Trip steps in with our carefully curated collection of small-group trips. We do all the planning, our Local Insiders lead the way, all you have to do is choose one of these trips and experience the joys of multi-country travel.

Incredible Thailand and Laos by Train

This two-week cross country itinerary is a Rail Trip of epic proportions. Again we’ll start in Bangkok, heading south to explore the ancient ruins of Sukhothai and the street food delights of Chiang Mai. We’ll round off our time in Thailand with a traditional cooking class, a visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary and a night spent glamping in the jungle. The next day we’ll swap trains for a cruise boat, and tracks for the Mekong River, as we discover rural Laos’ whiskey-making villagers and otherworldly cave systems. We’ll trek to the truly spectacular Kuang Si Falls – reason alone to visit this beautiful country – before taking a high-speed train to the city of Vang Vieng. After exploring the Nam Song River by kayak, it’s time to cross back into Thailand, where we’ll hop on an overnight sleeper train back to Bangkok.
