Destinations
Japan
Wander beneath the thousand vermilion torii gates of Fushimi Inari, ride the bullet train between ultra-modern Tokyo and thatched-roof Shirakawa-go, and unwind in a traditional ryokan after soaking in a mountain onsen. On a Small Group Tour of Asia with APT, Japan reveals itself through unique moments – you might share a private dinner with a geisha in Kyoto, learn taiko drumming, or wander Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, deep in reflection.
Sri Lanka
Abundant in World Heritage Sites and leafy tea plantations, Sri Lanka – despite its compact size – overflows with natural beauty, history and culture. Savour rich, Ceylon tea at a local tea estate, spot elephants and leopards in two of the country's finest national parks, and join a sunrise walk to the top of Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Experience all this and more in Sri Lanka.
China
Cruise the Yangtze through the dramatic Three Gorges, watch Guilin's karst peaks drift by on the Li River, and ride a cable car to the Great Wall. In Xi'an, come face to face with the Terracotta Warriors; in Chengdu, spend quality time with the giant pandas. On an APT Small Group Tour in Asia, you’ll have space to ask questions and explore further, from Shanghai's neon skyline to a Tang Dynasty dinner performance in Xi'an.
India
Step aboard the Deccan Odyssey for a taste of India's golden age of rail travel. Watch the Ganges shimmer during a dawn aarti ceremony in Varanasi, learn traditional block printing in Jaipur, and track Bengal tigers in Ranthambore National Park. Small group travel to Asia with APT gives you time to chat with a chai seller or wander a spice market – the leisurely exploration India rewards most generously.
South Korea
Explore Gyeongju's ancient royal tombs, cook bibimbap in Jeonju's Hanok Village, and catch a high-energy Nan-ta comedy-cooking show in Seoul. Ride the KTX bullet train between cities and stand at the DMZ to learn about the peninsula's divided history. On a Small Group Tour of Asia with APT, South Korea's blend of centuries-old tradition and modern buzz is experienced slowly, with a guide who can translate language and culture.
