M08525 is an independent, fully licensed, UK based tour operator. Our aim is to provide guided, small group adventure tours for those who wish to discover the real South East Asia, away from the traditional ‘package group’ trails and high-rise, overdeveloped resorts.
Extensive knowledge of the region enables us to offer original tour itineraries providing a balance between the well-known ‘must-sees’ and the off-the-beaten-track, ‘best kept secrets’.
M08525 tours will give a real insight into the countries you are visiting – culture, history, landscapes and natural world – and provide the opportunity for genuine interaction with the local people.
Great care is also taken to ensure that our practices in South East Asia not only provide exciting and memorable holidays for those who travel with us, but that they make positive contributions to the region as well. Respect for local peoples; their cultures, traditions, religion and environment are essential to our philosophy and tours and we work hard to ensure our groups have a positive impact on the places and peoples visited.
On our tours we will stay in smaller, family-run hotels and guesthouses as much as possible and eat in local restaurants. All guides, drivers and local agents employed are considered friends rather than ‘business contacts’ – the intention being that you will visit as guests rather than tourists and travel as a bunch of friends rather than a typical tour-group, so don’t expect stick on name badges or any following of umbrellas around!
A maximum group size of 9 persons means genuinely small groups. Experience has taught us that smaller groups are less intrusive to local cultures and environments whilst allowing more interaction with local people. Furthermore it allows for greater flexibility on a day-to-day basis and on a social level proves to be more fun. Try being ‘low-key’ in a hilltribe village or spotting any wildlife with 15 other people around. |
