Asia Multi Centre Holidays

Whether you’re sampling street food at a stall in a bustling market, enjoying a local family's hospitality, or unearthing the history of a nation, cultural tours can transport you to a whole new world of experiences.

Suntans fade away, but cultural experiences stay in the memory forever – a cultural tour is a journey that never ends. Instead it's fondly played out over and over again in the heart and the mind. Awaken your senses and explore and experience the world’s cultural riches, and enjoy some of the most rewarding aspects of any holiday.

Take in the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome, or lose yourself amid the futuristic sights of high-tech Tokyo. Go back in time and uncover South Africa’s turbulent past or Russia’s complex imperial history. See for yourself the mesmerizing architecture of some of the world’s most iconic buildings and temples – from the wondrous Egyptian Pyramids to the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal. Discover the art of sushi-making in Japan, cook alongside professional chefs in Italy or savour the flavours of fine wines in Chile.

Get a glimpse of local life in a new country. Take a camel cart ride, or a three-wheeled trishaw, through a village in India, pay a visit to a Maasai village in Kenya. Feel the atmosphere build as New Orleans gears up for Mardi Gras, hear the monks chanting as the sun rises over Cambodia’s Angkor Wat or explore the museums, galleries, cathedrals and palaces of cities like Rome, Vienna, Barcelona and Berlin.

Wherever you wish to go, and no matter your tastes and interests, our escorted cultural holidays will take you to the heart of your destination. See historic landmarks and discover hidden spots, witness religious rituals and uncover centuries-old traditions. Taste exotic cuisines and embrace new cultures. Our wide range of cultural tours and cultural holidays will reveal your destination’s true identity – enshrined in its most iconic, historic art, architecture, philosophies and traditions.
