‘We Take You One Step Further’It’s a simple statement but true. These days there are so many tour options in the marketplace - so many itineraries and so many choices that it has become a task to find something truly unique. In our tours we make sure we always do that! It might be a private meal with a Cusco family, a surprise encounter with an elephant handler in Jaipur, an off the beaten track stay in a resort hotel made entirely of salt or a special invite to an authentic Indian wedding. With so much on offer elsewhere and most of it ‘off the shelf’ we ask you to delve deeper and experience culture and our world as it should be done - through the eyes of an ‘almost local’ (that’s you!).

WE PROMISE YOU’LL ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE BETTER IF YOU TAKE THAT ONE STEP FURTHER!
