Experience the wonders of Asia
Immerse yourself in some of the most incredible places on the planet on a trip you’ll talk about for years to come. Intriguing and exciting at the same time, Asia makes the perfect destination for a grand tour.
Visit orchards and flower markets as you travel down the Mekong from Cambodia to Vietnam, spot magnificent orangutans in the jungles of Borneo or explore the sacred sights of Indonesia before indulging in some well-deserved beach time in Thailand.
Refresh your energy in the natural hot springs dotted around Japan before heading to South Korea for a culinary adventure in Jeonju, the UNESCO City of Gastronomy known as the home of bibimbap. We’ll take you across Asia in one amazing trip, visiting several countries at once.
With all the time in the world, why not slow down and explore Asia by luxury train or an opulent phinisi boat? Voyage through the Indonesian archipelago, travel through the verdant tea terraces of Malaysia and finish with a rejuvenating spa break on the lush island of Bali.
Our team of travel designers are passionate about this beautiful continent and know exactly how to get from A to B in comfort and style. The grand tour is the perfect way to experience the magic of Asia and truly immerse yourself in the wonders of this destination.

Trip Inspiration
Where to go
Bali
Bali, the Island of the Gods is Indonesia’s most famous island. From rugged mountain peaks to lush jungles, magnificent waterfalls and stunning beaches, the island has got something for everyone. Bali also makes for an ideal gateway to other parts of Indonesia. From here, you can set off on day trips to smaller islands such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan.
Discover moreBorneo
A compound of untouched rainforest, beaches and mountain ranges, Borneo is an off-the-beaten-track adventure. The island is home to many incredible but endangered species like the orangutan, pygmy elephant, Malayan sunbear, proboscis monkey and Borneo rhino.
Discover moreCambodia
In South East Asia, Cambodia charms with its collection of ancient temples, with the most iconic being Angkor Wat. Venture further and you will find that Cambodia has more to offer - from its vibrant capital city, Phnom Penh to pristine rainforest, national parks and islands.
Discover moreChina
China is vast, both in terms of its size and its offerings. This is a place where you’ll find ancient royal residences sat next to glitzy modern skyscrapers and where suited businessmen and women stride past stalls selling traditional steamed dumplings, the recipes for which have not changed in aeons.
Discover moreIndonesia
Indonesia is a country where beach-meets-jungle. This chain of more than 17,000 islands serves unspoiled beaches, crystal-clear waters and lush jungles that are just waiting to be explored. Add in a collection of immaculately-kept UNESCO Heritage Sites and dramatic volcanoes to conquer.
Discover moreJapan
Japan is a land of many extremes. Tokyo, the capital city, is nothing but mesmerising. Then there is Kyoto, the country’s spiritual heart. Japan’s tropical south is where you can find white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. There is also the blissful Hakone, renowned for its bubbling hot springs.
Discover moreLaos
Landlocked Laos enchants with its combination of colonial towns, fascinating culture and lush, unspoiled scenery. There are mountains to be explored, temples to marvel at, wildlife to be spotted and friendly locals to meet.
Discover moreMalaysia
With a combination of beaches, buzzing cities and rolling hills, Malaysia is one of Asia’s most multifaceted destinations. There is a wide variety of experiences to take part in - go on a street food tour in Penang, relax on the white-sand beaches of Langkawi, marvel at the iconic twin towers in Kuala Lumpur or set off to the countryside in Cameron Highlands. Malaysia is also one of the best places in Asia to go diving.
Discover moreSouth Korea
South Korea consists of sweeping landscapes, quaint villages and futuristic cities. It is also home to Jeonju, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Depending on the time of the year, South Korea can look very different - visit between March and April for cherry blossoms and see the autumn leaves between September and November.
Discover moreThailand
Thailand is a country that ignites the senses with its rich culture, natural beauty and incredibly hospitable people. From the bustling metropolis of Bangkok to the pristine islands and rolling highlands, there is so much to experience.
Discover moreVietnam
With everything from modern cities like Ho Chi Minh to the old quarters of Hanoi, passing by remote beaches, dramatic landscapes and hill-tribe villages, Vietnam is a country that truly has it all. Explore the Mekong Delta by boat, try local Vietnamese coffee, visit the Cu Chi Tunnels or immerse yourself in the history of Hue.

I usually do all my travel planning independently but found myself desperately in need of time away, without the time to actually plan the trip.
