Astounding Asia tours
From culture to cuisine, sights to scenery, our Asia tours surprise and delight at every turn. Tour the forts and palaces of India or the tea plantations and temples of Sri Lanka. In Central Asia and the Caucasus, you could follow Uzbekistan’s Silk Road route, or discover the ancient churches, mountain villages and wine-making towns of Armenia and Georgia.
Asia is the biggest and most populated continent on Earth, which means it has a wide variety of cuisines. Each region has its own unique ingredients and cooking techniques. For example, East Asia is known for stir-frying, steaming, and noodles. South Asia has a multitude of spices and is famous for dishes like curries, biryanis, and flatbreads. Meanwhile, Central Asia is known for its hearty meat dishes.
Discover the intriguing contrast between the traditional and cutting-edge in East Asia, where ancient sacred sites stand shoulder to shoulder with futuristic skyscrapers. Those who venture to the south-eastern corner of Asia will be greeted with a blend of lush jungle landscapes, powerhouse cities, and pin-drop-peaceful temples that create a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, our Asia holidays will delight and astound you in equal measure.

What our experts love about Asia
Asia is such a diverse and exciting continent, offering an eclectic mix of cultures, cuisine and natural beauty. One of my favourite places is Japan - a fascinating destination which will stay in your memory long after you return.
What are the best places to visit in Asia?
India & Sri Lanka
A heady mix of landscapes, colourful festivals, spiritual beliefs and traditions, holidays to India and Sri Lanka have it all – and once you experience them, the memories will continue to dazzle. Wander the streets and let your senses be overwhelmed on our Indian tours. You’ll find bright saris, spicy curries, fragrant teas and city streets packed with everything from cars to cows. Head to Rajasthan for ornate palaces and temples, tiger-spotting safaris and the Taj Mahal on a classic or extended Golden Triangle tour; or venture to southern India for serene beaches and sleepy backwaters. Alternatively, you can travel to Sri Lanka – this teardrop-shaped island in the Indian Ocean is home to rock-carved temples, rare leopards and hilly tea plantations.

Southeast Asia
From sizzling street food to remote rainforests filled with incredible wildlife, Southeast Asia offers a real taste of the exotic. There are buzzing cities – sleek Singapore, French-influenced Hanoi, Bangkok with its tuk tuks and temples. Step away from the throngs, though, and you’ll find a different side to Southeast Asia – one where ancient capitals lie half-hidden in jungle, families stock up on supplies at floating markets, and orange-robed monks gather alms at dawn.

East Asia
East Asia holidays do ancient-meets-modern like nowhere else. Travel to Japan and you could dine in a hushed ryokan or a high-tech robot restaurant; in South Korea, you might step inside a thousand-year-old shrine one day and an ultra-modern mall the next. Whether you’re visiting one country or both, expect fascinating rituals and traditions – delicate calligraphy, hour-long tea ceremonies and artfully prepared kaiseki (multi-course Japanese meals).

Central Asia & the Caucasus
Uncover the Silk Road heritage and time-honoured traditions of this fascinating part of the world. Uzbekistan’s historic trading cities flaunt dazzling madrasahs and mausoleums, while sandstone fortresses and castles dot the desert landscapes. The little-visited countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, meanwhile, reward travellers with unspoilt scenery, charming mountain communities and ancient winemaking towns. We get to dine with local families and learn traditional recipes, sip ararat brandy and sample fine wines.

Is Asia safe to travel?
We carefully plan our itineraries to avoid unsafe destinations and are constantly referring to government travel advice in case situations change. We will always keep you informed of any issues. That said, it's always worth taking precautions to deter pickpockets when travelling through large crowds or on public transport by making sure your bag has a secure zip and its place across your body. Avoid walking around in the evening alone or wandering anywhere not recommended by your tour manager.
When is the best time to visit Asia?
When deciding when to travel to Asia, it's important to keep in mind that the best time to visit can vary depending on the country. As the largest continent in the world, many factors can influence the ideal time to travel, such as the weather, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. We aim to offer the best departure dates possible depending on the country's seasons and avoid where possible monsoon season when we know it can affect the enjoyment of your tour.
Travelling to Japan is especially recommended during the springtime months of March to May, when the cherry trees are in full bloom, especially towards the end of April.
In India, Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is celebrated at the start of spring. To experience the welcoming of spring, consider travelling to India in March.
Can I drink tap water in Asia?
Drinking water in the UK is one of the cleanest in the world, but it's recommended to avoid tap water when in Asia and to instead drink bottled water. There are some countries however where it is considered safe such as Japan.
