Our promise

Why travellers over 50 choose us

We built Holidays to Asia for people who know exactly what they want — and will not settle for itineraries designed for someone else. Every decision we make, from hotel choice to daily pacing, is made with the over-50 traveller in mind.

Six commitments

What we promise on every single tour

No early starts

Every day begins at 09:00 or later. We designed this deliberately — the best experiences rarely require a 06:00 alarm, and travelling well means being rested enough to appreciate what you see.

Your own vehicle

Private tours travel in your own air-conditioned vehicle with your guide. No waiting for others, no unplanned stops, no compromising on pace. If you want to spend longer in one place, just say.

Honest pacing descriptions

Gentle, Moderate and Active are defined precisely for each tour — and always delivered as described. We never use "easy" when we mean "manageable with effort".

Hotels chosen for character

We stay in colonial landmarks, boutique ryokan, jungle lodges and private-pool villas. Every property is chosen because it adds to the experience — not because it ticks a category box.

ATOL protected

All our tours are ATOL financially protected. Your money is secure, and we have been operating without interruption since 2009.

Access others do not have

Our specialists have spent years building relationships — with palace families, temple curators, market vendors and restaurant chefs. That is how we arrange experiences that do not exist in any brochure.

How we rate our tours

What Gentle, Moderate and Active actually mean

Gentle

No more than 3–4 km of walking per day, mostly on level ground. All sites are accessible without significant steps or inclines. Rest periods are built into every afternoon. Suitable for guests with mobility considerations.

Moderate

Up to 6–8 km of walking per day, some uneven surfaces or short staircase climbs. A reasonable level of mobility is expected. Rest is still built into the programme — this is not strenuous.

Active

8–12 km of walking on some days, including hills, forest paths or temple terraces. Good fitness is expected. Optional for guests who want the fuller experience; alternatives are always available.
