Hong Kong

Hong Kong festival

We can offer airport transfers and two sightseeing tours plus hotels from £30pppn

Occupied by the UK since 1841, Hong Kong was finally returned to China on 1 July 1997, though little appears to have changed since the handover. Hawkers and traders still sit in the shadow of modern sky scrapers and the old ferry still plys between the mainland and the island.
Justifiedly known as a shopping destination, Hong Kong is also a culinary delight, with a wide range of Chinese food as well as many top quality international restaurants. There are many islands around Hong Kong which can also be worth a visit, including Lantau, home to the world's largest outdoors bronze Buddha.
A visit to Hong Kong can make a great stopping-off destination as part of a visit to Asia or even as part of a longer trip to Australia or New Zealand.

Singapore

The vibrant city of Singapore is full of the sights and tastes of Asia. A perfect place for both sight-seeing and shopping and a relaxing end to a holiday in Indochina.
Sir Stamford Raffles established Singapore as a trading station with a policy of free trade attracted merchants from all over Asia and from as far afield as the United States and the Middle East. By 1824, just five years after the founding of modern Singapore, the population had grown from a mere 150 to 10,000.
In 1832, Singapore became the centre of government for the Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca and
Singapore. Since Singapore became an independent republic in 1965 it has continued to develop and expand and to day is still an important trading centre. We can book you a range of hotels, including the world famous Raffles, which is a sightseeing experience in itself, and arrange various city tours to help you get the most out of your stay.

 

Singapore by night

A city tour, harbour cruise and twighlight dinner cruise can be experienced in addition to a night safari adventure ; hotels from £20pppn

Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, or "KL" as it is commonly known, is the focal point of new Malaysia. Originally started as a tin mining post it quickly developed into an important trading town of the British Empire. While the city's past is still present in the evocative British Colonial Buildings. The city's bustling streets, its shining, modern office towers, and its cosmopolitan air project an unbounded spirit of progress and symbolise Malaysia's unhesitating leap into the future. As the entry point for most visitors and the meeting point of the country's many attractions, Kuala Lumpur is a grand gateway to a fascinating destination. The busy capital of Malaysia mixes old and new, with the tallest building in the world and colonial Merdaka Square. Busy Chinatown is a fascinating place to wander and we can also show you some of the highlights of mainland Malaysia.

We have two tours available from 'KL': Half day city tour and the Malacca tour and a variety of hotels from £18 pppn
