Travel with Friends
“Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.” – Lovelle Drachman
Small Group Travel
Since 1999 we have been personally escorting small groups of fellow travellers to various locations in Asia.
Our theory on travel is that it needs to be interactive, not just a convenient formula for the Travel Operator. Sleep in comfort and eat great food - after that, it's all about adventure.
Safe, responsible and always creative.
Taiwan 2020
Our marquee Tour for 2020 is Taiwan. The most under-rated country in Asia, Portuguese sailors named Taiwan "Ihla Formosa', which means 'Beautiful Island' and once you arrive there you'll quickly appreciate why..
Spectacular natural scenery, exciting cities and a blend of Chinese, Indigenous and Japanese culture that makes Taiwan one of the friendliest and safest countries in the world. Incredibly, there are almost no Western tourists.
George Town, Penang
Our Asia base for Relax Asia Tours is in the UNESCO World Heritage city of George Town, Penang, Malaysia.
We specialize in creating tours there for interested individuals or groups wishing to experience the outstanding Heritage, unique street-scapes, tropical landscapes, phenomenal food and fascinating cultural diversity. Penang is the most interesting city in South East Asia.
'' In 3 weeks we had the most amazing range of highlights / contrasts / experiences / memories – this would never be possible without the vast Asian travel talents you both possess and all the meticulous planning. Also the care and concern and ‘sharing yourselves’ with each individual on the tour – made it such a very special holiday. I loved every minute of it. ''
Explore INDIA with Relax Asia
India, where exotic travel posters are not the exception they are the norm.
The real India is everywhere, it exceeds all expectations. From the millions of cows who nonchalantly roam down even the busiest of streets to the rickshaw pullers who work the laneways exactly as they did 100 years ago. Half a billion women dressed in the most colourful of saris. The holy man sitting cross-legged on the footpath savouring a chilim. The half naked little ragamuffins weaving through traffic to solicit a few rupees from gridlocked drivers. Brightly painted buses bursting at their rusty seams and jammed atop with hordes of noisy commuters. Crowds bathing and washing their clothes at the Ghats. Groups of orange clad Hindu worshippers, high on bhang, chanting and dancing as they pass in procession. Whole families living under canvas on dusty footpaths or under metro bridges. Camel drawn carts. 6 people on a motorbike with a pig. Chaotic streets encrusted with such a multiplex of electric wiring that it almost dims the sun. Forts and Palaces so massive and so grand that you are left wondering why it took you so long to realize such things existed. Old men in long flowing white dishdasha and orange turbans sitting smoking at desert road stops. Walking across the busiest pedestrian bridge on earth, teeming with flower sellers, rickshaw pullers, beggars, Hindu Sadhu, shapely Tamil girls in glitzy saris and every imaginable mode of transport choking its gridiron artery. Ancient streets selvaged with crumbling haveli, donkey drawn tilbury, betel nut stalls, smouldering mud ovens and the ubiquitous rabble of cows. A blue smoke-stained door jamb framing an old lady in a ruddy sari slowing stirring a cast iron pot of yellow dhal.
It’s as if impossibly exotic post cards are springing to life all around you.

Travel to VIETNAM & CAMBODIA with Relax Asia
Vietnam’s cities conjure up a thousand jumbled images. You can wander through timeless alleys to ancient pagodas or teeming markets, past ramshackle wooden shops selling silk, spices and baskets, before fast-forwarding into the future beneath sleek skyscrapers or at designer malls, gourmet restaurants and minimalist bars. The ghosts of the past live on in the churches, temples, former GI hotels and government buildings that little more than a generation ago witnessed a country in turmoil.
