What travelers are saying

"Japan. What a country. It was so great to be part of a culture based on honesty, trust, orderliness, honour and politeness if only for a short period. It’s an experience I would recommend to anyone and the whole adventure was heightened by the effort of our delightful tour leader Edin. Go there if you possibly can."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy
