Tours and Bespoke Experiences

Authentic and responsible travel are the travel buzzwords on the block, and you don’t have to be a hard core ‘eco-warrior’ travelling to remote places without electricity and running water to travel responsibly. In fact, we’ve found that being responsible whilst travelling can produce some of the best travel experiences. If you’re looking for a more immersive experience, would like to sample some of Asia’s succulent street food, join a cooking class, pay a visit to a local village or pedal down some quaint back roads and experience the magnificent Temples of Angkor by bicycle, we’ve got you covered… We love travelling and we’d love to share some of that passion with you.

Educational trips, corporate events or a holiday out of the ordinary

Having worked with a range of individual travellers and corporate clients as well as school and university groups from Australia and the UK organising placements for undergraduate physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and teachers, we know first-hand the benefits of having expertise on the ground.

Whether it’s sourcing quality products from social enterprises or local artists for your corporate event, organising a special lunch or dinner in the Angkor temple area or ‘glamping’ in the vicinity of one of the less visited temples of Angkor, we’ve got you covered.

With in-depth knowledge of Cambodia and the Mekong Region, we like to use locally owned and responsible hotels and accommodation providers and we have found that helping literally can taste good when dining at a local hotel and restaurant training school. As a member of Independent Travel Experts (ITE), we can also sell packages, flights, accommodation and all related travel products from all the UK’s biggest brand names to the smaller and more individual operators.

Responsible and Ethical Volunteering

Our first-hand experience shows that volunteering can be a rewarding and eye-opening experience. The term ‘voluntourism’ has received some critical press and media attention recently, but we believe it’s possible that volunteers can have fantastic experiences whilst, at the same time, doing some good if they prepare properly and are aware of their skills and limitations.

Over the years we’ve taken the time to listen to the locals and understand their needs, before engaging with universities to see if they could help deliver those goals. We’ve successfully initiated the start and sustained the growth of village education centres including building classrooms, toilet blocks and libraries and built a physio / exercise room and kitchen at a Military Handicap Hospital. This has been made possible both through the work of volunteers on the ground sharing their skills with local people and their efforts at home fundraising to make things happen on the ground.

If managed properly, we believe fairly and succinctly volunteer tourism does have a place in responsible tourism. Spotting the good companies from the bad can sometimes, however, be difficult. Some volunteer sending companies have also been criticised for charging ‘too much’, but, when done right, many would argue that paying for a service, a safety net, vetting and organisation on the ground is worth the money you pay.

Whether you’re arranging an educational school trip, a corporate event or simply want a packaged trip or holiday out of the ordinary, we’d be happy to sit down with you to discuss your requirements.
