Frequently asked questions

We take you to non-traditional places we have exclusive access to. You travel feeling like you're with friends, not a customer. We never resell you to another company if a group doesn't fill, the price is clear from day one with no surprise add-ons, and we're with you step by step — no outsourced foreign guide. Our trips are longer and better priced because the goal is a real experience, not just profit.

Because our style lets you live the real experience. We visit local restaurants together and try the country's food like the locals — everyone orders what they like and pays as they wish. And we have no deals with any restaurant, so no place is ever forced on you.

All carefully chosen and excellent — and we stay there with you. They range from 3 to 4 stars (not resorts), because the trip moves almost daily: a new city and a new hotel each time, rather than staying in one place. Names and photos of some hotels are on this page.

In two payments: 50% deposit at booking, and the remaining 50% when your visa is issued and received.

Because that's the typical company approach. Bali is lovely, but it's actually the least breathtaking part of Indonesia — so we spend the last 3 days there visiting the best spots and beaches, after the real adventure across Java.

You have complete freedom — head out with the group or on your own, whatever you prefer.

All our trips are mixed — men and women — and everyone is welcome. Solo travelers, whether women or men, are exactly who our trips are designed for, so you'll be well looked after.
