Dear Real Traveller,
We are excited to bring you some recent
NOTES FROM THE FIELD in this
month's Real Traveller Newsletter. Despite
economic
downturns, Custom
Tours have increased in popularity.
Designing personalized tours to fit your
travel dates, activity level, lodging
preference and matching you with local,
knowledgeable guides has been our specialty
for over 21 years. This winter, our Real
Travellers have been
participating in meaningful cultural
interactions, trekking through rural Bhutan,
climbing Mt.
Kilimanjaro and spotting the Big Five on
safari
in East Africa.
Here's what our travellers are saying about
their custom tours: "It was a trip of a
lifetime and we wouldn't have been able to
experience such great service and
accommodations without Adventure Associates
at the helm with all of your experience. It
was fantastic and beyond our expectations!"
Recent travellers also enjoyed our newest
exploration into Vietnam!
Highlights included bicycling through
lush countryside, socializing with hill tribe
families, kayaking in Ha Long Bay, and
learning to cook traditional cuisine...see
the Books
& Cooks section for a delicious Spring
Roll recipe from our time in Hanoi.
