Our Japan group tours reveal a country that is a complex mix of ancient traditions, and ultra modern, where glass-clad skyscrapers might have a room full of tatami mats, ready to host a tea ceremony, accessed by a wooden door.
The bullet train is a great way to get around Japan quickly, as it reaches speeds of up to 320 kilometres per hour! In the background you see Mount Fuji, one of Japan’s Three Holy Mountains. This dormant volcano last erupted in 1708.
Inhabited for thousands of years, Japan’s early history is probably best known for the samurai culture which developed there. The rivalries in the noble classes were fought with samurai. For 265 years the Tokugawa Shogunate was housed inside the Edo-jo Castle, where many battles took place.
Ecuador Tours – Experience the Galapagos Islands
There’s no doubt the most popular part of our Ecuador tours are the Galapagos Islands, but they’re far from mainland Ecuador, at around 1,000 kilometres west of this South American country.
The tortoises living on the Galapagos Islands are the largest species on Earth, growing up to 900+ pounds and live 100+ years!
This natural marvel consists of an archipelago of hundreds of islands, with 12 of them being quite large, and the rest being fragmented volcanic islands. Charles Darwin’s visit of 1835 brought international attention to the island, which is an absolute must-see for anyone who loves wildlife. The Galapagos were the inspiration for his early theories of evolution and his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
South Korea Tours – Dynamic & Traditional
Our South Korea tours typically start in Seoul, a modern metropolis that has spilled over its 600-year-old city walls and grown to a population of 25 million. Its residents are part of a progressive Asian culture with deep respect for its past and traditions.
The beautiful Jeju Island is one of South Korea’s most popular vacation spots, whether for simple vacations or for honeymooners. It is home to a dormant volcano (South Korea’s tallest mountain) and the world’s longest lava tube (Manjang Cave).
Illustrating the juxtaposition of past and present is Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Joseon Dynasty’s sprawling residence, which had been the seat of Korea’s government for almost 500 years. Now, the tranquil setting of the Palace is set against Seoul’s tall skyline and frenetic pace.
Yucatan Tours - The Mayan Adventures
The Yucatan peninsula juts out into the warm waters of the Caribbean, and our Yucatan tours show the beauty, history, cuisine and culture of Mexico and Belize, the two countries whose territory is part of it.
The Mayan Pyramid of the Magician is located in Uxmal, Mexico. This impressive pyramid is 131 feet tall, and was rediscovered in the early 1800s.
You’ll have the opportunity to explore ancient Mayan temples, swim in the Caribbean’s turquoise waters, lined with gorgeous, and seemingly endless, white sand beaches. Our Yucatan tours begin in Mexico and finish in Belize.
Single Travel Tours – No Travel Partner? No Problem!
Here’s a problem many of us face in regard to travel: the desire to explore burns inside but you have no one to share your adventures with. In potential travel partners, the problem could be a difference in goals and interests, not enough time or not enough money.
This photo was taken on one of our exciting tours of Greece, which are always popular with our travellers.

With 120+ travel destinations and almost 400 unique travel itineraries, the toughest decision for you is, where do I travel to first?
Group Tours to Italy – A Gem on the Mediterranean
Italy is sometimes referred to as ‘Bel Paese’ (beautiful country) and on our group tours to Italy, you’ll quickly learn why. This peninsula, jutting into the Mediterranean has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country.
Construction on Rome’s iconic amphitheater, the Colosseum, was completed in 80 AD and it was able to seat more than 50,000 people.
This European country is and has been home to many great artists, with many examples of their work on display in museums throughout the country.
Along with beautiful artistic works, on our group tours to Italy you’ll also experience the incredible natural beauty of this country, and the friendliness of the Italian people.
