Central Asia & North Asia
Few areas can serve up such wild, rugged romance as Central Asia: the enchanting endless Mongolian plains; Kyrgyzstan's rich collection of alpine meadows and pristine peaks; Uzbekistan's architectural jewels of Bukhara and Samarkand, staging posts on the legendary Silk Road. Travel here is true adventure: forging exotic experiences in remote lands. And further east, the cultural and economic superpowers of China and Japan both readily captivate travellers with their timeless traditions and shock of the new. Turn a corner in frenzied Tokyo and you can move from zen garden to the latest in fashion and electronics, mix bullet trains with Kyoto's tranquil blossom. Or swap the downtown buzz of Beijing for tai chi in the park or an exploration of China's rural heart, perhaps at Tiger Leaping Gorge or in captivating Guilin. There are countless opportunities in all these countries to find an adventure that suits your passion, and find places utterly distinct from anywhere else.>

The ease and swiftness of the initial booking process was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Thanks to Astrid. My arrival transfer to the hotel in Kunming was seamless. Thanks to Sophie. Thanks also to Sophie for her help in organising the pre-trip excursion to Shilin. I was prepared to do it the hard way, but I'm grateful that it wasn't necessary!

Generally a good trip and let us do and see things we would have found more difficult on our own. Packed a lot in to time but had good balance between free time and organised time. Having Eddie help ordering food was a real bonus. Thanks
