Why Silver Travellers Choose Holidays to Asia

We are not a generic booking engine. Every holiday is planned by a specialist who has been to the destination, knows the terrain, and understands what matters to our guests.

Pace that suits you

No day starts before 09:00. We build in rest time, late starts, and never overload the itinerary. Gentle, Moderate or Active — always delivered as promised.

Fully ATOL protected

Every holiday is ATOL bonded. Your money is safe and you're covered if anything changes before or during your trip.

Mobility-aware planning

We note uneven cobbles, long temple walks, and altitude. Your guide knows your needs before you land.

24/7 on-trip support

A real person on WhatsApp, day or night. Delayed flight? Medical question? We are one message away.

Hotel quality guarantee

Every property is personally vetted: firm mattresses, good lighting, walk-in showers, and ground-floor options where needed.

Nothing left to chance

Rail passes, domestic flights, visas, transfers, guides — all arranged. You carry a small day bag. We carry the rest.

What Our Guests Say

Every review is from a genuine guest. No scripts, no editing — just the words they used when they got home.

★★★★★Our parent company Halo Holidays has 4,500+ verified reviews
Sophie had access to things we'd never have found alone. Everything was seamless — the Mandarin Oriental set the tone perfectly and Trisara at the end was the most relaxing four days we can remember.

Clara made it extraordinary. Her knowledge of the imperial history in Hue was simply remarkable. The private junk in Halong Bay was magnificent. Two nights felt exactly right.

William & Diana Forsythe, aged 71

Vietnam North to South 14-Day

Edinburgh · March 2025

Wei turned China from overwhelming to comprehensible. The Great Wall at dawn with nobody else there will stay with us forever. The calligraphy lesson was an unexpected highlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking an Asia holiday with us. Can't find your answer? Call our specialists.

Are your Asia holidays suitable for travellers over 60 and 70?

Absolutely — we specialise in holidays for travellers over 50, and a large proportion of our guests are in their 60s and 70s. Every itinerary clearly states its pacing level (Gentle, Moderate or Active), no day starts before 09:00, and we build in meaningful rest time. Our specialists will always recommend the right pace for you.

What does ATOL protected mean for my holiday?

ATOL (Air Travel Organiser's Licence) protection means your money is 100% safe if we or any of our suppliers cease trading. It is issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. If anything goes wrong before or during your trip, you will be either repatriated or fully refunded.

Can I get a refund if I need to cancel?

Yes — we offer refundable deposits on most tours. If your plans change early enough, your deposit comes back to you in full. We also strongly recommend travel insurance for comprehensive cover. Speak to our team about flexible booking terms.

Are the tours private or do I travel with a group?

We offer both. Private escorted tours mean your own specialist guide and vehicle — no other travellers, no compromises on timing. Small-group tours have a maximum of 10–12 guests and still offer a very personalised experience. Both styles are clearly labelled on every tour page.

Which Asian countries do you offer holidays to?

We currently cover nine destinations: Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, Bali, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Cambodia. Each has multiple tour lengths and styles. We also arrange multi-centre trips that combine two or more countries.

What is the best time of year to visit Asia?

It depends on the destination. Japan is magical in cherry blossom season (late March–April) and autumn foliage (October–November). Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia are best from November to March. India is ideal October to March. Sri Lanka has two monsoon seasons but the south and west are excellent from December to April. We will advise the best timing for your specific itinerary.

Do I need travel insurance for an Asia holiday?

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for all our tours. It should cover medical expenses (including evacuation), trip cancellation, and personal belongings. Some of our destinations require proof of insurance before departure. Our team can advise on reputable providers for over-50s.

How far in advance should I book?

Popular dates — particularly Japan in cherry blossom season — can sell out 6–9 months ahead. As a guide, we recommend booking 3–6 months in advance for most tours. Last-minute availability does occasionally arise, so it is always worth asking. A small refundable deposit secures your place.
