Tour Director

Admire the iconic Great Wall of China

Feel the enormity of China's Great Wall, stretching as far as the eye can see through luscious green valleys. With some fragments built nearly 3000 years ago, the historical significance of this fortification is not to be missed. Tackle just a small length of this 21,000-kilometer UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wander through Angkor Wat

Take a journey to the world's largest religious monument and watch the sunrise onto the stillness of the Angkor Wat temple complex. The crumbling mosey portions of the Hindu turned Buddhist structures hold an eerie beauty that will stir you to the very core.

Enjoy some quality 'Me' time in Thailand

Land of smiles, cheap cocktails and expert massages, a trip to Thailand is a chance to unwind. Spend days floating in the Gulf of Thailand and roaming through shopping markets, interrupted only by fragrant Panang curries and fresh coconuts to cool you down.

Sail Halong Bay

Climb aboard a traditional wooden boat and take in the beauty of Vietnam's sea of limestone islands. The dramatic setting of Halong Bay will dazzle as you drift slowly around the emerald waters past many families that call the water home. An essential part of Asia travel packages, it has been named one of the new natural wonders of the world.

Stroll down the busy streets of Tokyo

Home to almost 14-million, the streets of Tokyo buzz with an energy that is hard to resist. Navigate through the swarm of pedestrians at Shibuya Crossing and admire elaborate dress sense in Harajuku. Even those called by empty mountains will find joy in the scenes of Japan's capital.

Our top 5 things to do in Asia

This enormous content offers such a diverse banquet of experiences it can be hard to know where to begin. From the busy streets of Tokyo to the world's largest religious site found in Cambodia, we'll share the very best on our Asia vacation packages. 

Temple of Heaven

The aptly named Temple of Heaven is a scene straight out of a mythical religious artwork. Stare up at the ceilings in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests where a patchwork of color honors the seasons of the year. With construction finishing in the year 1420, this site holds limitless cultural significance.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Pay tribute to the victims of Cambodia's brutal genocide that saw a quarter of its population lost in the early 1970's. The photos of those lost haunt the walls of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, housed in a building that was once a center for prison and interrogation.

Tokyo National Museum

Take an artistic journey along the Silk Road to ancient and medieval days gone by at Tokyo National Museum, the 6th largest art museum in the world. Hosting many of Japan's national treasures and religious artworks with immense cultural significance, allow a whole day to soak up all this monument has to offer.

Best museums in Asia

A tapestry of history, art and modern culture are found peppered across this continent in its endless list of museums. These are just some of the places we'll visit on our Asia escorted tours.

With almost a thousand years of history held in a roll of seaweed, rice and raw fish, don't miss this important part of Japanese culture. Though it's now readily available in most parts of the world, you will find something special about the sushi experience in its homeland.

Pho has traveled a long way since it originated in the Nam Định province of Vietnam. Slurp down many bowls from lively street vendors and modern cafes, enjoying variations of the hot rice noodle broth covered in herbs. The country of Vietnam summed up in one soupy dish.

Peking Duck

Taste the Imperial era in slices of seasoned crispy skin duck. Best wrapped in thin pancakes with hoisin sauce and greens, this Chinese specialty is delicious whether consumed in a busy street market or upmarket restaurant.

Best food in Asia

It's hard to compete with the delicious fragrant dishes that originate across the expanses of Asia. With chopsticks in hand, we'll uncover the very best and learn of the many rituals and traditions woven into this continent's culinary banquet. 

What to pack for Asia

Charcoal tablets

Many visit Asia armed with a pharmacy of pills for the chance of illness. Prevention is always better than cure; take a natural daily supplement such as charcoal to ensure nasties are evacuated from your system as quickly as possible.

Cool full-length clothes

Many parts of Asia boast a sunny tropical climate that's perfect for days flopped by a pool or sea. When exploring, it can be somewhat uncomfortable. Pack light, full-length clothes so you can respectfully visit religious sites without sweltering.

Hand sanitizer

During your time in Asia, you might not always have access to soap and water to wash up before eating. Keep hand sanitizer available for clean hands and a happy stomach.

Insect Repellent

A bug spray will be your best protection against mosquitos and any other creepy crawlies that call Asia home. Pack a bottle to avoid unnecessary itch or illness.

Water purification devices

The purification of water has come a long way in recent years. Make your way to a specialist travel shop to discuss bottles, gadgets and tablets that will ensure you stay hydrated without falling ill.

South east asia travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

What countries are a part of South East Asia?

The region of South East Asia encompasses the following countries:

Philippines

Timor-Leste

Do I need a visa to travel to South East Asia?

Whether you need a visa to travel to South East Asia depends on what country you're a national of and which country you travel to.

Generally, passport holders from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom don't need visas to travel around South East Asia, but visa requirements will vary from country to country.

For example, citizens from the previously mentioned countries will need a visa to travel to Vietnam, however, they won't require a visa for Thailand. 

If you're unsure of the visa requirements of the country you're traveling to, it's best to check on government-run websites or at your nearest embassy or consulate. 

What is the internet access like in South East Asia?

The internet access in South East Asia can vary from country to country and between different regions in that country.

Most hotel chains or other accommodation options in major cities will have wi-fi, so it'll be easy to connect to the internet.

B uying an international SIM card with a local provider is recommended if you'd rather have no restrictions (and no exorbitant data roaming fees). This still doesn't mean you're guaranteed to have access to the internet though as the signal is often limited or unreliable in rural areas in countries such as Laos, Timor-Leste and Myanmar. 

What are the toilets like in South East Asia?

The toilet facilities in South East Asia differ depending on which country you're in and what region of that country you're in.

Most major cities have westernized toilet facilities in places such as restaurants and hotels, but the further from urban areas you are, the more likely you'll find squat toilets, so set your expectations accordingly.

Toilet paper is also a rare find unless you're in major cities or popular tourist areas, so it's best to always pack your own in preparation. 

Can I drink the water in South East Asia?

There aren't many countries in South East Asia where the tap water is recommended for drinking, especially in Laos and Cambodia.

To avoid getting sick, buy bottled water or use filtered water to brush your teeth.

You should also be mindful when showering, ask for drinks with no ice in them and peel all fruit before you eat them.

While Malaysia is considered to have the safest drinking water, it still has a different mineral content than your stomach might be used to so it's best to stick to filtered or bottled water where possible. 

When is the best time to visit South East Asia?

The best time to travel to South East Asia is between November and February when the weather is relatively dry, humidity levels are low and temperatures are warm but not uncomfortable.

However, this is considered to be 'peak season' so expect large crowds at popular tourist destinations and increased accommodation prices in major cities.

If you want to avoid all of that, try traveling during the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November.

If you can, avoid traveling from June to August as this is South East Asia's rainy, cyclone season. 

Is tipping common in South East Asia?

While it might not be as prevalent as it is in the US, tipping is still part of the culture in most South East Asian countries.

H ow much you tip and in what scenarios tipping is expected will differ depending on the country you travel in.

For example, tipping isn't expected or required in Malaysia and Singapore (and can even be considered rude), but countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are starting to accept tipping culture. 

What currency will I need in South East Asia?

The currency you need when traveling in South East Asia depends on which countries you'll be visiting, with each country having its own currency.

Here is a list of countries with their currencies:

• Vietnam - Vietnamese Dong (VND)
• Indonesia - Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
• Singapore - Singapore Dollar (SGD) 
• Cambodia - Cambodian Riel (KHR)
• Malaysia - Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) 
• Thailand - Thai Baht (THB)
• Philippines - Philippine Peso (PHP)
• Myanmar - Myanmar Kyat (MMK)
• Timor-Leste - United States Dollars (USD)
• Laos - Lao Kip (LAK)  
• Brunei - Brunei Dollar (BND)

Do I need to bring cash with me to South East Asia?

It's worth bringing cash with you if you travel around South East Asia, as paying with cash is still very prevalent in most countries.

Countries like Vietnam and Thailand are big on markets and hawker hall type cafeterias, so having cash is usually the easiest way to buy things and makes bargaining for items more accessible.  

Is South East Asia safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Most of the countries in South East Asia have a thriving LGBTQIA+ scene, especially Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Discretion is still advised for travelers of the LGBTQIA+ community when it comes to public displays of affection, particularly if you're traveling away from the larger cities to more rural areas where acceptance of same-sex relationships may not be as common. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

The 11 Best Central Asia and Silk Road Tours & How to Choose

April 4, 2017 by Silvia 27 Comments

I’ve written a lot about my time exploring Central Asia and traveling along the Silk Road, and something people always ask me is if I can recommend some good tours for the region. Now, I traveled through Central Asia independently, but I also met a lot of travelers on tour groups, I’ve since heard from readers who chose to join a tour, and I’ve done a  lot of research into Central Asia and Silk Road tours.

Why? My trip through Central Asia and the Silk Road was life-changing and I want everyone to be able to experience the area. I even convinced some family members to do a tour through Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and they loved it. Y A Y !

Should you travel Central Asia and the Silk Road independently or as part of a tour?

This was a question I had to ask myself when planning my own journey through China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. I ultimately decided to do the trip independently because I had a lot of time (four months), two of my friends wanted to do the same trip with me, and – this is a big one – I speak some Russian.

The four months I spent traveling through China , Kyrgyzstan , Kazakhstan , Tajikistan , and Uzbekistan are filled with some of the greatest memories of my life. In fact, I kind of can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t gone on that backpacking trip. Fun fact: I started travel blogging in Central Asia, so I might not otherwise have become a full-time blogger.

It was also really, really difficult. I’m not saying this to discourage you from going – like I said, I’m so glad I did! – but if you’re going to do Central Asia independently, you should also be prepared. Kyrgyzstan is set up quite well for tourism now, but the other countries we visited were pretty crazy.

The three of us hitchhiked crammed into the back of trucks, knocked on random doors hoping for a home stay in places with no hotels, and my friends actually learned a lot of Russian, thanks to the lack of English anywhere.

It was incredibly fun, but also maybe not for everyone.

I would consider doing a tour of Central Asia and/or the Silk Road if any of the following apply to you:

• You’re on a tight schedule and have specific sites you want to see
• You don’t speak any Russian/won’t be able to learn any Russian before your trip
• You prefer organized transport and accommodation over hitchhiking and finding your own home stays
• You’re planning this trip solo but want to travel with a group
• You want to see or do things that would be hard to organize on your own
• You work a lot and don’t want the added work of planning this trip yourself
• You have a specific budget in mind that you want to stick to

I remember meeting a couple in Kyrgyzstan who had just finished a tour of the region and were then taking the time to explore a bit on their own afterwards, which I think can also be a really good idea. The tour took them to all the hard to reach, off the beaten track places and gave them a sort of crash course on Central Asia, but then afterwards they were able to experience a bit of independent travel in Central Asia as well. Win win!

The Best Central Asia and Silk Road Tours

So, I don’t know if you’ve already done a lot of research into Central Asia and Silk Road tours, but there are a lot of options out there. That being said, I’d say there are two obvious front runners in the business: Intrepid Travel and G Adventures.

These are big name tour companies, which means they’re incredibly reliable. So if you sign up with them you know you aren’t going to get scammed (something that ugh, is all too common), your guides are going to be professional, and everything is going to run smoothly.

Both Intrepid Travel and G Adventures boast:

• a strong commitment to sustainable travel
• high safety standards
• flexible schedules so you can have free time during your days or add optional activities to your tour
• off the beaten path adventures (perfect for Central Asia!)
• nearly 30 years of experience

Intrepid and G Adventures also both offer a nice variety of tour itineraries (suitable for different budgets and timeframes) for Central Asia and the Silk Road. In fact after hearing about people’s experiences on some of their Central Asia tours, especially some of the off the beaten path places they were able to visit, I’m dying to do them myself!

Intrepid Travel vs. G Adventures for a Central Asia or Silk Road tour

Okay, so you’ve narrowed down your preferred Central Asia tour operators to Intrepid Travel and G Adventures – which one do you choose?

You’ll hear a lot of opinions on which of the two tour companies is better (often depending on which company a person is working for/getting a bigger commission from) but to be perfectly honest, I’ve heard amazing things about both companies in Central Asia.

The general consensus is that G Adventures’ tours are slightly cheaper, while Intrepid Travel has somewhat smaller groups and a more consistent quality level across the board. But when looking specifically at their Central Asia tours the quality and prices are quite similar. I would recommend reading through all the itineraries and choosing based on which tour description and departure dates appeal most to you.

Intrepid Travel and G Adventures Central Asia and Silk Road Tours

Now for the fun part: choosing your tour!

There are a lot of options out there, but I’m going to list my top choices below. I’ll order these according to length, because that’s usually the biggest factor when choosing a tour.

Here are Intrepid Travel and G Adventures top Central Asia and Silk Road tours, ordered from longest down to shortest duration:

80 Days: Xi’an to Istanbul with Intrepid Travel

This is the ultimate Central Asia tour. If you have the time and the money to dedicate to this one, please, please do it!

This tour starts in Xi’an, China and finishes in Istanbul, Turkey, while passing through Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It gets you truly off the beaten path in these places for some once in a lifetime experiences.

Click here for the full itinerary, prices, and start dates

29 Days: The Great Silk Road with Intrepid Travel

Again, this is a long tour, but that also means that you will experience SO much on this journey.

This tour starts in Beijing, China, and continues through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan before finishing in Tashkent. It covers all of the main Silk Road sites while also including some remote, lesser-known locations as well. If you’re into the Silk Road, this is the tour for you.

23 Days: Central Asia – Multi-Stan Adventure with G Adventures

This incredibly comprehensive tour will give you all of the top experiences of a Central Asia trip – from sleeping in yurts to staying in home stays to mountain and desert landscapes to exploring stunning Silk Road buildings. With this tour you can experience it all on a relatively short time frame and surprisingly small budget.

If you want to truly get to know Central Asia in just a few weeks, this is the tour for you.

Click here for the full itinerary, prices, and start dates

16 Days: Central Asia Explorer with Intrepid Travel

I’m fairly obsessed with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and this tour takes you through all of my favorite locations in both countries. It begins in Bishkek and ends in Tashkent, while taking you through some of the region’s most stunning landscapes and villages.

15 Days: Best of Tajikistan & Uzbekistan with G Adventures

I would say that Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were the two most challenging countries to travel to, so this tour is perfect for anyone who wants to leave the organizing up to someone else!

I also think that seeing Uzbekistan and Tajikistan together is a really good combination, as Tajikistan will give you those amazing mountain landscapes and off the beaten path experiences with locals, whereas Uzbekistan is rich in its Silk Road history and amazing buildings, as well as yurts in the desert.

14 Days: Central Asia Adventure – Almaty to Tashkent with G Adventures

This two week tour shows you the very best of this remote region. It does an impressive job of covering all the must-see sites of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan while also taking you off the beaten path to some places that would be hard to reach independently. If you want to see a variety of Central Asia, this is the perfect tour.

13 Days: Tajikistan Discovery with Intrepid Travel

Tajikistan was my favorite country in Central Asia (I mean, that landscape!), so I’m definitely a bit partial to this tour, which takes you through all of the country’s amazing sites and scenery. It starts in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and finishes in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, while taking you up over the Pamir Highway (over 5,000 meters high!) and right along the Afghan border so you can see right into Afghanistan.

I particularly love that this tour includes five nights of home stays in Tajikistan, as my best experiences in the country were of staying with local families.

10 Days: Expedition – Baikonur & Kazakhstan with Intrepid Travel

This is hands down one of the coolest and most unique tours ever.

It takes you through Kazakhstan, way off the beaten path to corners few people in the world have explored, and it includes a visit to the Russian spaceport of Baikonur , the seat of the Russian space program, where you’ll even get to see a rocket launch!

10 Days: The Best of Uzbekistan with G Adventures

To be honest, I’m more of a mountain person, so Uzbekistan wasn’t my favorite country in Central Asia, but my friend I traveled with is obsessed with history and architecture and it was her favorite! This tour includes visits to Uzbekistan’s main Silk Road cities, as well as nights spent in desert yurt camps and riding camels. I love the variety here, and that it covers so much in just 10 days.

9 Days: Best of Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan with G Adventures

This tour includes the perfect miss of cities and must-see sites with some truly off the beaten path adventures into the countryside. It’s also surprisingly cheap, and might actually be one of the most cost-effective ways to see the region.

6 Days: Highlights of Tajikistan with G Adventures

Tajikistan was my favorite country I visited in Central Asia, but it was also the most difficult and expensive to travel through. And that’s what makes this tour so perfect – it takes you to those remote, hard to get to locations and is actually surprisingly cheap.

You could either do this tour as a quick taster trip of Tajikistan, or include it as part of a bigger journey through Central Asia.

If you do decide to book a tour through Intrepid Travel or G Adventures, please consider starting the booking process by clicking on one of my links. The price will remain the same for you, but I’ll earn a small commission which will help cover the cost of running my site. Thanks a billion!

What a great guide! I did the 14 days Central Asia Adventure with G Adventures in June last year. It was the second time they ran that tour. I chose a tour mainly because I had limited time and wanted to make the most out of it. But we (me and my sister) travelled to Samarkand independently. I absolutely LOVED the region! I want to see more!

April 9, 2017 at 7:36 am

Oh no way, I know a couple who did that same tour, but I think it was actually the first time they ran it! I really want to see more of Central Asia too – I feel like I’ll be returning there over and over, haha.

Cool! I’ve been wanting to visit Uzbekistan for a long time and might be able to next year. I’ll bookmark this page. I love your blog – you always have excellent advice for the (more or less) average traveller!

April 9, 2017 at 7:35 am

Oooh I hope you do – Uzbekistan is amazing!

April 25, 2017 at 10:20 pm

I’d love to get the chance to explore this part of the world. I much prefer independent travel, but I can see how a tour here might be a good idea. Especially if time is limited.

May 1, 2017 at 11:07 am

Yeah I think of all the places I’ve traveled to Central Asia would be the one I would most recommend taking a tour through.

May 29, 2017 at 8:00 pm

This was a fantastic read. Thank you for publishing. Am currently reading a book on the silk roads and thought Central Asia would be a great place to visit. Thanks fir the travel advice.

May 30, 2017 at 4:20 pm

It really is such an amazing place to visit!

We leave in under 3 weeks -taking over 3 months to travel from Shanghai to Istanbul! I couldn’t find a tour that would combine a trip along the Pamir Highway and a launch from Baikonur! I think you’ve missed the obvious compromise. We travel independently – but we use agents when we need to – but we use locals. So we’ve used a company to buy our Chinese train tickets, and we’ll use a local driver for the Pamir Highway, and a Kazakhstan based company to arrange the permits for the Cosmodrome. And yes I’m learning some Russian!

Hi Lis Sowerbutts, I would be interested to hear how your two tours turned out, especially the Baikonur one? Which company in Kazakhstan did you use? Thank you! Luca

January 1, 2018 at 12:46 pm

Brilliant! Great photographs, fascinating travel destinations. I’d love to travel more in that part of the world some day. Thank you for sharing the tips and ideas.

January 3, 2018 at 6:09 pm

It really is such an interesting area – I hope you make it there eventually!

February 5, 2018 at 8:05 pm

Great blog! What time of year did you do your Central Asia trip? My boyfriend and I are planning to do the Silk Road on our own but curious what month did you travel? Thank you and I enjoyed your blog!

Exploring Central Asia and traveling along the Silk Road seems like an awesome recommendation, Silvia. These tours seem so worth considering and I would definitely choose one of those Silk Road tours when in Central Asia! Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi. Loved reading your blog. I live in India and my wife and I would like to travel through all the five ‘stans’. We can spare about 4 to 5 weeks and would like to do the highlights of each country. Could one of these companies organise a customised itinerary for us? Thank you.

April 24, 2018 at 7:08 pm

Hm, I’m not sure – you could try getting in touch with them.

Hi,Vinodh! My name is Nazo, born and raised in Samarkand. I am working as trip leader for foreigner groups throughout Uzbekistan. I am also working at the travel agency, EWES (East West Elite Service), as an out of office product manager.

Hi Silvia! I am so glad I found your blog! I love the photos – Central Asia is so beautiful!

My husband and I are just starting to toy with the idea of taking 3.5 months to travel through Central Asia. We have used Intrepid Travel a few times before and they are a good company, but we do like independent travel which gives us more flexibility to explore the place a bit more rather than being dictated by a group itinerary. However, there is one aspect of using a tour group that I really like – the opportunity to go to places that are a bit off-the-beaten-track and have experiences that I may not have necessarily known about / been exposed to if not for a tour guide telling me about it. (An example is on our recent trip to India with Intrepid where we visited a Sikh temple and were guided to the community kitchen where we sat with the locals rolling out dough for chapatti – without the guide, we would probably have just walked around the temple, not knowing about the community kitchen, or known that we could partake in making chapatti, and left).

You mentioned in your blog: “In fact after hearing about people’s experiences on some of their Central Asia tours, especially some of the off the beaten path places they were able to visit, I’m dying to do them myself!” Would you mind being more specific about the off the beaten path experiences you are wanting to try after hearing other people’s experiences? Are these things you could have done if you had known at the time?

Thank you for writing this blog – it answers exactly what I was asking!

October 16, 2018 at 12:43 pm

That sounds like it will be an amazing trip! I would say if you are able to rent a car and speak pretty good Russian then you should be fine on your own. The main things I missed out on were going to the really random small towns or scenic spots, because I was hitchhiking so couldn’t just drive myself wherever I wanted. And then the same goes for meeting people – my Russian is pretty good so it wasn’t too much of a problem, but if I had been able to communicate fluently like the guides then I think I could have had much more meaningful conversations with people and more local experiences. Ideally I would have started with a tour and then afterwards continued to explore independently, as by then I’d have had a good feel for the countries.

Hope that’s helpful – and have fun!

Hi Silvia, Im in Australia and planning a post Covid self drive trip through central asia with friends (ideally camping on the roof of a 4×4 Land Cruiser for example). Ive done a similar thing twice in southern africa and intend to take the back roads and dirt tracks into the remotest areas of Central Asia if we can. We would take maybe 3-4 months. Im having difficulty finding anywhere in eastern europe or central asia to rent off road vehicles for our trip. Are you able to steer me towards any. Maybe in Turkey or ??? to start our trip.

// Many tour operators are doing this tour and we can't seem to make our mind up who to go with.//

Most travellers on this forum will make their own arrangements and not be part of a tour group. You won't find many respondents.

The TA search function was built in the 19th century, so finding the one or two threads that answer your question is very difficult.

There are a few useful posts in this recent thread for Great Rail Journeys.

Be alert to the fact your thread will likely be over-run with local Indian operators encouraging you to consider them.

Agreed - you may be swamped by posting on here, lol.

Dear Traveler,

There are so many travel agents and tour expert here on TA (Trip Advisor) with good review, you can contact anyone. Better you can contact to tour operators or and get the quote from 2-4 of them for better quotation.

You can contact them by Email or WhatsApp also.

Hope the above suggestions will helps you.

I am agree with the post # 5

Do compare the quote before finalizing

Suggested travel agencies are very expensive, always compare the price with 2-4 agents

Follow our news, recent searches, no more trishaw rides in singapore after last licensed operator ceased tours mid-2023, advertisement.

Trishaw tours have not run in Singapore since June 2023.

Davina Tham

SINGAPORE: Trishaws have stopped plying the streets of Singapore since June 2023, after the contract of the country's last trishaw operator ended and was not renewed.

The operator, Trishaw Uncle, had run trishaw tours from Albert Mall Trishaw Park on Queen Street since 2010.

Trishaw Uncle executive Tieu Xin Yue told CNA that the company had obtained its licence to operate through a contract with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).

"Prior to the end of our contract term, which (was) last May, we were told that we will have to return the site for other uses," Ms Tieu said on Tuesday (Apr 9).

Trishaw Uncle was the last remaining licensed trishaw operator at the time its contract expired end-May 2023, she added.

STB's director of travel agents and tourist guides Annie Chang confirmed that the site of Trishaw Park at Queen Street was "returned to the relevant agencies for their review on usage of the site".

"There are currently no other trishaw services operating in Singapore," she added.

Ms Tieu said that after Trishaw Uncle was informed it could not continue to use the Queen Street space, it spoke to STB about the possibility of using another site.

Trishaw Uncle shortlisted potential sites in Chinatown, Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay for discussion with STB last year.

But the business was not able to find a suitable place, as it was informed that the shortlisted sites had other uses or that it was not allowed to use the space, said Ms Tieu.

She added that apart from being a site where trishaws can be parked, the company also needs to consider access to tour routes when choosing a site. "It needs to tick all the boxes before we decide that it's a good place," she said.

Trishaw Uncle owned 100 trishaws but scrapped these shortly after its contract ended, as it was unable to find a suitable holding place for them, added Ms Tieu.

The company used to run tours covering popular tourist destinations like Little India, Chinatown, Kampong Glam and the Civic District.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Trishaw Uncle hired about 40 to 50 trishaw riders, most of them on a part-time basis. This dropped to about 20 active riders after the pandemic.

Ms Tieu said the trishaw tours represented Singapore's heritage and were "an icon" of the country.

"If there's an alternative site, of course we will be willing to restart these operations," she added.

STB said: "Many of our local tour operators offer a variety of tours in new and different formats. We are confident that many of these offerings will appeal to both international and local visitors."

CNA has contacted the tourism bureau for more information.

I absolutely loved the Vietnam tour! It’s such an amazing place to visit and Intro take all the stress away! Our leader Lorna was great from start to finish, dance moves, history and info, banter the lot! Even bringing me a care package when I was a bit ill! Great trip all round!!

Cambodia Adventure

Our group was lucky to get Chhehai. His love for his country, his knowledge and personality made this trip an Asian highlight. The trip had outstanding highlights including Angkor Wat but also time in the countryside and along the water which made us feel we were seeing and meeting the real people of Khmer (Cambodia). Some of the accommodations were very basic but this was an Intrepid basic tour so it was expected. Highly recommend Intrepid if you want to see the real Cambodia, meet local people and fall in love with this amazing country.

Indian Getaway

The tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Some of the elements felt like a school trip but that’s maybe because I have travelled alone before and am not used to doing everything en mass. Javed was fantastic and no request was too small. I would recommend the tour and also Javed as a guide.

Highlights of Israel and Jordan - 11 days

The tour guide Boise and the driver were excellent. Even the driver Rahim and Meher-Mike in Jordan were excellent. Both teams did outstanding service. The driver from Tel Aviv to Jordan border was very rude. The Hotel in Jerusalem and Amaan was very good. However the Sea Net Hotel in Tel Aviv was very bad. We had to walk with our heavy luggage as there was no bus access, the rooms were very small, no room service, no bell captain, clogged drain which flooded our room, poor staffing. This Hotel was worse than a Motel. The Hotel in Petra was beautiful but no ice, no buffet dinner, Jacuzzi was super hot that you can't even put your feet for 30 seconds. Sorry to say but after paying 4700 USD the choice of Hotels in Tel Aviv and Petra were lousy. I would be very very careful to book any tours with Tourradar due to the choice of Hotels they have for the money. I would definitely recommend other companies before booking Tourradar as you get horrible Hotels which do not even quality for 2 star for the amount of money they are charging. Otherwise the Tour guides, the tour and the buses are very good. Be very careful with Tourradar as they sub-contract with local tour companies in respective countries since we had a very bad experience in Egypt tour. We did not get what we were shown or promised. Most disappointing are the Hotels they choose in the package unless you upgrade for more money. Definitely check other companies as i will not give my money to Tourradar due to bad experience in Egypt and the Hotels in Tel Aviv and Petra.

Epic 13-Day Japan Budget Tour: Odyssey Across the Land of the Rising Sun

Heritage of the Holyland and Jordan Tour - 11 Days

I really enjoyed the Israel part of the tour, Orna the guide and Fuad the driver. She is an amazing guide, always teaching and telling the whole history behind everything. The bus was clean and comfortable. Always on time, and both are very kind the driver and the guide. The hotels I didn’t enjoy that much, some of them were in no good conditions. The Jordanian tour was ok, the van was not so good, it was smelling cigar, and not really clean. As we drove for long hours there, I would expect little more explanation about the history of the country, and cultural background, not only at the stops we’ve made on the visiting points. The guide was friendly and on time, the hotels were ok, clean, but with low maintenance. I enjoyed the experience! Best regards.

What people love about Budget Tours in Asia

This was my first time ever travelling without family and it was amazing! One of the best months of my life. Our CEO Tong was brilliant and full of knowledge about where we were going and what we would be doing. He made sure to have enough time for anyone and helped in anyway he could to make things run smoothly for everyone on tour including myself. If you go on this tour, make sure you ask for Tong or (Phanet Tep) as your CEO!

Embarking on the "Jungle Hikes & Island Nights" group journey from Bangkok to Singapore was an adventure of a lifetime, magnificently organized and flawlessly executed. From start to finish, the expedition was a resounding success, thanks to impeccable planning and an itinerary that promised—and delivered—an extraordinary experience. The locations we explored were nothing short of spectacular, offering us a diverse palette of experiences that ranged from the serenity of lush jungles to the vibrant nightlife on picturesque islands. The balance between exhilarating hikes and lively parties was just right, ensuring that every day was filled with new adventures and opportunities to create lasting memories. A significant part of this trip's charm was the fantastic group of fellow travelers I had the fortune to journey with. It's rare to find such a harmonious blend of personalities and backgrounds, but we clicked instantly, transforming a group of strangers into lifelong friends. The camaraderie that developed amongst us added a whole new layer of enjoyment to the experience. A special shoutout is deserved for our CEO, Fon, whose expertise, passion, and warm personality made her not just a guide, but a true friend. Her dedication to ensuring that we all had an incredible time was evident in every aspect of the trip. Fon, you are a gem, and your efforts were genuinely appreciated by all of us! However, no adventure is without its lessons. The pace of the tour, while exhilarating, sometimes felt a bit rushed. Extending the itinerary by a day or two could provide a more relaxed pace, allowing for some much-needed rest days amidst the action-packed schedule. For travelers like myself, towering over 185cm, be prepared for a squeeze, especially on the night trains which proved to be quite the challenge. An additional note for future adventurers: consider booking an extra night in Singapore to fully explore the wonders this city has to offer. The tour's conclusion in Singapore feels like just the beginning of another adventure waiting to be discovered. In summary, the "Jungle Hikes & Island Nights" trip from Bangkok to Singapore was an unforgettable journey filled with incredible sights, sounds, and experiences. While there's room for minor adjustments, the overall experience was profoundly impactful, leaving us with memories to cherish for a lifetime. To those seeking adventure, camaraderie, and a touch of magic, this journey comes highly recommended.

A memorable 10 days for sure!! As someone who had always wanted to visit Cambodia, my experience with IntroTravel and our guide Seyha exceeded my every expectation. On top of the already well-planned itinerary, Seyha always went above and beyond with recommendations and helped organize additional activities that suited our group’s interests. He took care of our every need throughout the trip as well. 10/10 would recommend both our amazing guide and Intro to anyone thinking about traveling somewhere new!
