Traveling Asia with Contiki means groups no larger than 30 people per tour – small enough to have an intimate experience but large enough to share the fun with fellow travelers.  All hotel accommodations allow travelers to relax in comfort and style with air-conditioned rooms, private en-suite bathrooms, pools, WiFi at most stops, and short walks to the best locations.  Additionally, travelers will experience unique special stays like an overnight cruise on a Chinese-style Junk Boat in Halong Bay, Vietnam. 

Enjoy the many ways to travel Asia – 4-wheels to no wheels, private mini-coaches, included internal flights, rickshaws, long tail boats, sampans, and tuk-tuks.  Food lovers will rejoice as they enjoy exotic regional cuisine, from fresh Amok curry in Cambodia to spicy Pad Thai in Thailand and zesty Goi Cuon in Vietnam.   Asia offers a variety of exotic experiences for anyone looking to live a life of no regrets. 

Due to the extreme popularity of Contiki Asia tours, Contiki has added even more departures for 2013-2014, which means there is flexibility to fit into everyone's travel plans.
