HOLIDAY TYPES

HISTORY & CULTURE

Whether you’re unravelling the legacy of the ancient Mayan civilisation; mingling with locals at a night market in Vietnam; or visiting remote rural communities untouched by the outside world, a holiday exploring the history and culture of a destination reveals the heart of the area.

HISTORY & CULTURE

FIND YOURSELF

You could find yourself in the isolated Kingdom of Bhutan, a spiritual land where cultures and traditions have remained the same for centuries. Where you’ll visit sacred monasteries, experience vibrant Buddhist festivals and explore villages whose locals welcome you with open arms.

In Peru you’ll see the country’s colonial past reflected in the beautiful baroque architecture, and gather the might of the Inca Empire from the ruins of Machu Picchu, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Mexico’s cultural heritage is equally alluring, from the sprawling colonial highlands to the exquisite Mayan relics that include the mighty Chichen Itza.

In Vietnam we can arrange for you to take walking tours around the Old Quarter of Hoi An with its pagodas, merchant’s houses and 400-year old Japanese bridge, and visit the historic war-time tunnels used by the Viet Cong. A journey through India will also transport you through numerous periods of history, from the colonial tea plantations to the architectural masterpieces of the Mughal Empire.

We’ll create an itinerary to help you get to know the people, discover time-honoured customs and uncover little-known histories.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
