CAMBODIA
Temples and Sea – 9 days from £749 pp
See the highlights on a nine day trip starting with the breath-taking scale and grandeur of Angkor
Wat and its atmospheric jungle temples. Moving on to Phnom Penh, visit the Royal Palace by
rickshaw and shop in the markets before seeing the darker side of Cambodian history at the Khmer
Rouge's infamous Killing Fields. The trip ends with a few days to unwind on the sandy beaches of the
south coast.
Bike Around Cambodia – 13 days from £1449 pp
Cycling round Cambodia is undoubtedly the best way to connect with the country and its people and
to get off the tourist trail. Beyond Tourism’s fully-supported riding tours include a guide and all the
equipment you need. Start at the spectacular temples of Angkor before following the Mekong River
through the countryside to Phnom Penh. Moving on south through the often-overlooked Takeo
province, you reach the coastal hills before the final leg to Sihanoukville, where you can relax on the
beach and have a massage to soothe your weary legs. An unforgettable way to see the real
Cambodia.
Mekong River Cruise - 3 days from £419 pp
What better way to encounter the lush countryside and friendly people of central Cambodia than
floating down the mighty Mekong River? The three day cruise from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap
finishes at the world-famous ruined temples of Angkor, recreating the great journeys of the past
aboard a colonial style, 20-passenger river boat. Along the way you will stop at small riverside
communities, a remote Buddhist pagoda and a floating village, glimpsing a side of Cambodia that
few visitors ever see. This cruise can also be run from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, or extended to
Saigon in Vietnam.
COSTA RICA
Relaxing Costa Rica - 13 days from £1595 pp
Relaxing Costa Rica showcases two of the country's highlights, Arenal volcano and the Monteverde

this trip can be tailored to your every need.

PERU
Our Inca Trail - 5 days from £429 pp
Welcome to one of the most famous trekking routes in the world, renowned for its biodiversity and
beauty almost as much as the final destination: the breath-taking citadel of Machu Picchu. At
Beyond Tourism our aim is to celebrate and give credit to the people that pioneered this route, the
porters themselves. Beyond Tourism’s version of the Inca Trail honours their ancestral knowledge,
experience and culture and lets travellers become part of the lives of these under-appreciated
descendants of the Inca.
Highlights of Peru - 13 days from £1495 pp

THAILAND
Thailand Highlights - 15 days from £1050 pp
If you want to experience all the things that make Thailand one of the world’s top holiday spots, this
is for you. See the beautiful temples and vibrant street life of Bangkok, cruise on the river and visit
the famous floating markets, then head to the far north to see the Golden Triangle, Chiang Mai and
elephants at work.
In between, take a slow boat through central Thailand to see life in the countryside and stop at the
World Heritage sites of Ayuthaya and Sukhothai. And of course, no holiday in Thailand would be
complete without a few days to relax on the gorgeous beaches. Beyond Tourism can also arrange
visits and stays with hilltribes on request. There you have it – the best of Thailand, with a unique
twist.
Island Hopping - 7 days from £435 pp
For a quintessential white-sand, tropical paradise beach holiday, look no further. Spend a week in
Koh Chang National Marine Park, starting on tiny Koh Maak, a haven of peace and tranquillity where
traffic is just a couple of motorbikes and pick-up trucks and there are no supermarkets to be seen.
Then spend a couple of nights on Koh Kood for more beaches, hidden delights and laid-back island
life and finish with a day on Koh Chang itself. But you may find yourself wanting to stay a little
longer...
Flavours of Thailand – 4 days from £779 pp
Get a taste of real Thai life and local cooking on this 4 day trip - perfect for combining with a visit to
the northern highlands or southern beaches. You’ll get an insight into how popular Thai foods are
