Our Story

Founded in Toronto, Canada, in 1976 as a niche Asia travel wholesaler, Tour East was one of the first few to offer tours to China after a long period of being closed off to but a few select foreign visitors. The Tour East Group has grown from its humble beginnings out of a small office in Toronto’s downtown core to one of North America’s largest travel providers with offices across Canada, as well as in New York. With an array of exotic travel experiences in the Far East, Indian sub-continent, Middle East, and Africa, Tour East has made its mark with a reputation for quality, customer service, and highly customizable travel planning.

“Your itinerary was perfect, and concentrated on the "must sees", and yet was flexible enough to make changes as we saw fit. Each and every guide was excellent. Not only were they very knowledgeable but they were very likeable people. Each hotel seemed to be better than the last, and their positioning was excellent.”  - Debbi & Derik, Toronto, Ontario

The Tour East Experience

We believe a journey is much more than another stamp in your passport, or a few quick snapshots, and we have come to understand from our loyal guests that you feel the same. You are looking to experience the local culture and to feel the sense of the destination - your way. Although our tours have been carefully crafted to ensure that every trip stimulates your mind, enriches your experience, and is, most of all, a good time, we understand that every traveler is different, and there is therefore no ‘one-tour-fits-all’ formula.

Imagine yourself exploring the blissfully lush countryside of Vietnam on a bicycle, or perhaps you’d rather spend time learning the culinary tricks of the trade. Take a walking tour around the backstreets of India’s cities with a local, or opt to cruise the backwaters of Southern India on your own houseboat. Take control of your experience, let us customize your journey to suit your individual interests. Whether it be a yoga class, a hike to a local village or an in-depth culinary expedition, Tour East understands that all guests have unique qualities and our expert team offers you the opportunity to experience exotic lands as you’ve always envisioned.

Your ideal journey is made possible with the knowledge of our experienced tour experts. Simply treat our website as inspiration. See what is within reach, dream a little, and let us walk alongside you in creating that perfect journey.
