There’s plenty of pros for going private.

Ultimate Egypt
To this day Egypt remains the ultimate historic destination, with a series of iconic ruins, remnants and remains all over the deserts surrounding the Nile. This eight-day itinerary takes in some of the most significant archeological sites from Ancient Egypt. We’ll explore the most famous on our first day, heading to Giza to see the Sphinx and the Pyramids, as well as visiting the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum. In Cairo you’ll discover amazing Islamic architecture on Moez Street and embrace the chaos of the Khan Al-Khalili bazaar, as well as visiting an old bookbinding store. Then we head south along the Nile to visit the temples of Luxor and Karnak – two of the oldest still standing today – and the Valley of the Kings, where tombs for Ramses V and VI lie, as well as the temple of Hatshepsut. You’ll also visit Kom Ombo temple and, if you pre-purchase an extra day, we can arrange a trip to Abu Simbel too.

Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam
Southeast Asia has seen a lot of history come and go, as this 11-day multi-country epic showcases. We’ll start in Thailand, where you’ll visit three of Bangkok’s most important and ancient temples – Wat Traimit (Golden Buddha), Wat Pho and the Marble Temple. In Cambodia you’ll marvel at Angkor Wat during sunrise. This temple complex is the world’s largest religious structure, and it offers a fascinating insight into the Khmer Empire, as well as the place of Buddhism in Cambodian culture. On day six you’ll explore a more modern, and tragic, side of Cambodian history when we visit the Killing Fields and adjacent Genocide Museum, which lays out the horrors of the Pol Pot regime. Having cruised down the Mekong and learnt about rural culture in Vietnam, we’ll eventually reach Ho Chi Minh, a city with a complex history through French colonial rule and the Vietnam War, with plenty of landmarks, gardens and monuments speaking to the city’s unique past.

Authentic Central Mexico
Mexico is another nation with a fascinating blend of ancient and modern history, which we trace on this eight-day tour through the country’s central core. In Mexico City you’ll get a guided tour of the city’s most notable sights, including a visit to the home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and a boat ride on the Aztec canals of Xochimilco. We’ll travel back in time at Teotihuacán, a 2,000 year-old Mesoamerican city, once the largest metropolis in the Americas, homing around 250,000 people. You’ll also visit Tula, the ancient Toltec capital, which dates back to 856 AD. From there we turn the focus to more modern history by visiting a series of cities defined by their beautiful Spanish colonial architecture, as well as their role in the Mexican independence movement. Querétaro was one of the starting points, as was Dolores Hidalgo, where you’ll learn about the 1810 Cry of Dolores at the Museo de la Independencia Nacional. Finally, you’ll get a tour of gorgeous Guanajuato, before returning to CDMX.
