We are a boutique tour operator offering unique and rewarding tours to fascinating and mostly undiscovered destinations. A great deal of thought has gone into designing each and every tour to ensure that travellers on our tours experience the essence of the country or the region they visit, not just the glossy brochure hype. Our tours are designed for discerning travellers with emphasis on individuality, originality and flexibility. On our tours small groups of like minded people experience the wonders of Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Syria/Jordan, Iran, Azerbaijan and the Silk Road.
In TURKEY, you will visit colourful cities and legendary historic sites, go off-the-beaten track to see traditional villages and picturesque coves along the Mediterranean Turquoise Coast, marvel at the surreal landscapes and underground cities of Cappadocia, be captivated by the stunning sites of Mt Ararat, reputedly the resting site of Noah's Ark and Mt Nemrut with the stone heads and god statues.
Our tours to Turkey are organised with the assistance of tour operators who are Turkey Specialists and who are based in Turkey. They are timed to take advantage of the glorious climate in May, June, September and October.
You will enjoy accommodation in unique Ottoman style mansions, caravanserais and "Cave House" hotels with modern facilities. You will relax knowing that you are accompanied by a Turkish born Australian tour leader who knows the country, the best attractions, the people and their customs and who will be with the group on a 24/7 basis.
In RUSSIA, you will see spectacular palaces, legendary museums, unrivalled architecture, sophisticated culture, hospitable and friendly people and much more. You will visit Moscow, a world renowned city of culture and intrigue and St Petersburg, widely regarded as the 'Venice of the North'. You will also venture out on the Golden Ring with many famous historic towns along the way.
UKRAINE is a country of contrasts and is very rewarding. Here you see how the people are coping with the change from communist rule under the Soviet Union to a liberal democracy. You will visit Kiev the capital and the main centre, the port city of Odessa on the Black Sea coast, the Crimean cities of Sevastopol the old home of the Soviet Black Sea fleet and the famous Black Sea resort town of Yalta.
The SILK ROAD, the greatest land-based trading highway the world has ever seen, stretched all the way from China, through Central Asia to Europe. Central Asia is the heart of the Silk Road and Uzbekistan, without a doubt, is where this heart beats the strongest. It is home to the 2,500 year old cities of Khiva, Bukhara as well as Samarkand considered the 'Rome of the East and the fabulous Fergana Valley. On our Silk Road tour, you will also visit Turkmenistan which is a country of contrasts where you can expect the unexpected.
SYRIA is a modern, efficient and proud nation where visitors will be richly rewarded. It is home to the ancient cities of Damascus, Aleppo, Bosra and Palmyra all of which are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage list. Attractions on offer range from profusion of colonnades and temple remains in a mesmerising desert setting to jewel-like Damascene houses. JORDAN with Petra as the jewel in its tourism crown forms part of our tour of this region.
AZERBAIJAN is an enigma; it is an incredible tangle of contradictions and contrasts. Yet it's also a new nation finding its feet as it emerges from post-Soviet era turmoils. On our tour to Azerbaijan, you will visit the capital Baku which is a dynamic boomtown and a picturesque UNESCO -listed old city exist side by side.
IRAN (formerly Persia) offers a unique travel experience to the discerning traveller who will be richly rewarded if he/she can cast away the negative image portrayed about it. At its core you will discover a country of warm and fascinating people living within an ancient and sophisticated culture. Embrace Iran, and allow the Iranians to embrace you, for a priceless travel experience.
