Tours Throughout Europe and Egypt

Tours Throughout New Zealand

The European Encounter tour is perfect for those who want to see Europe but don't have months to negotiate their way around the continent. You'll have the opportunity to take a bicycle tour of the Dutch countryside, go white water rafting in Austria, take in a Parisian cabaret show and rub shoulders with the rich and famous on the French Riviera...all in a little over two weeks!

This vacation is all about satisfying your adrenaline cravings. Rest and relaxation are so overrated! Start your trip off by black water rafting the underground caves of Waitomo and hit Rotorua to catch a classic Agrodome farm show (go ahead…pet a sheep or two). Try the Zorb or skyline gondola and end your day chilling in a Polynesian thermal pool. Take in an optional Maori Hangi, parasail over Lake Taupo and head to the adventure-adrenaline ‘Capital of the World’, Queenstown. Ever tried bungee jumping, sky diving, jet boating, river boarding, luging, canyon swinging or four-wheel driving? Now’s the time!

Tours of Scandinavia and Russia

Vietnam is a country of colours. The gold of the temples, jade green of Halong Bay, yellow green of rice paddy fields and the multi coloured silks of the traditional 'Ao Dai' women's dress. The Mekong Delta is all rice paddy fields, coconut palms and sugar plantations being tended by farmers in conical shaped hats. Cruise the river delta, visit floating markets and stay overnight with a host family to see Vietnamese life up close. Cycle around the UNESCO listed Hoi An, soak up some rays on the beach in Nha Trang and cruise through some amazing limestone mountains of Halong Bay on a traditional junk boat. This is truly a country where East meets West, and this tour allows you to experience the very best that this amazing place has to offer.

For those who have done Europe and want a new travel challenge or anyone who enjoys getting off the beaten track, a tour of Russia and Scandinavia is a great remedy for the travel bug. Starting in Moscow, your trek into the former USSR takes you from the bright lights and spy movie feel of Moscow, to the heart of former Tsarist Russia, St Petersburg. Time for a complete change of pace as you enter Finland and Sweden where the beauty of Helsinki and Stockholm will leave you breathless. Why not extend your Scandinavian experience and travel on to Copenhangen with our Russia and Scandinavia tour?
