August was a busy month for us. I took a group to Borneo where we were fortunate enough to see the elusive pygmy elephant (twice!). We had people riding the rails of the Savannahlander train in Queensland, cruising the Marquesas on a working passenger freighter, and walking in the European Alps. You can read more about our Alpine walks in Europe tour in our trip report below.

Our latest tour releases are a brand-new tour to Northern Spain and Portugal and a repeat of our very successful Discover Japan tour. Keep reading for full details of these tours.

Our Paris to Bruges bike and barge tour is full and I am working on more options for 2025 biking tours. Some new walking tours for 2025 are in the wings and will also be ready soon.

If you are waiting for news on our 2025 Central Asia ‘Stans’ tour, rest assured it is close to being ready to release!

Our Ghan, Adelaide to Darwin tour had excellent interest and is already a confirmed departure for next year, we have a few spots left if you are keen to join us.

In the meantime, enjoy the Spring weather and get ready to start mowing your lawns more!
