Asia 13-Day Tours and Trips

A wonderful trip around a great country brilliantly led by Suresh with his excellent team ensuring everyone got the most of the holiday. A really well put together itinerary balancing cycling, culture, wildlife and fun!

This was a trip I will never forget. Such great people who joined the trip, a CEO with good control, overview and looked after us all. I had a lot of fun and will recommend Solo ish to friends and family. Thanks for the trip and thanks to Jamona!

A thoroughly superb trip which does exactly what it says on the tin. The encounters with Orangs are magical. These animals that you see are rehabilitated so are used to humans and therefore are unafraid to approach you. The truly wild orangs will keep their distance. We also encountered a funky gibbon that was partial to a bit of fruit. The jungle at Bukit Lawang is hot and steamy, so be prepared, and the optional extra walk is well worth doing as it takes you deeper into the jungle and offers plenty of opportunities to fall over!!! Two days on board the boat from Flores is a great time to reflect on the passing world before you jump back in the sea to snorkel, recover from lunch or prepare yourself to meet a Komodo Dragon

I was on a 18-day trip to Japan, and Joshua made my trip to Japan absolutely remarkable! Joshua took us beyond the touristy spots and showed us all of Japan. It felt like I had an insiders perspective which made it all so much more enjoyable. These personal experiences made my trip truly memorable, and I owe it to the insightful suggestions of Josh, not only our guide but our friend.

This is a great tour with a diverse itinerary. Although it is advertised as a trip with moderate pace, be ready for a lot of walking, about 12-15,000 steps a day. You should also be ready for the ryokan experience with shared bathroom facilities. The hotels were correct, all clean, with generally small rooms that is the standard for Japan. Transferring your suitcases in advance of day trips, as suggested by Explore, is highly recommended. Japan is very clean, there are no garbage cans on the streets, and public toilets are amazingly clean and are available everywhere and are free. Credit cards are generally accepted, except for a few small restaurants. We were particularly lucky with our guide, Synjun who was super professional, very knowledgeable and kind.

I have just finished the 12 day Bali Intro! We had a small group of 7 girls and our tour leader was Grant! He did a great job of looking after us all and was on hand to help us at all times, even at 4am one morning when we had a problem with our hotel room! The 12 day trip covers many places from Kuta, Lovina, Gili T to my favourite by far - Ubud! Travelling in January we had a lot of days of heavy rain and thunderstorms but Grant kept us all entertained with his bad taste in music (I think we all know the words to mans not hot now!) and his dance moves from our many nights out! I would definitely recommend the trip to people wanting to travel around Bali. I did the trip as a holiday but the other girls were doing it alongside other intro travel tours! Thanks for a great trip! X
