Day-to-Day Itinerary

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:

Cesky Krumlov is a small historic town in the Czech Republic, in South Bohemian. This UNESCO World Heritage city is known for its medieval castle and the many magnificent buildings. Visitors come from all over the world and admire the fairytale like old town with its wonderful attractions.

Located just a few kilometers west of the city center stands the spectacular Schönbrunn Palace. Undeniably one of the highlights of Vienna, this stunning palace was built in the early 18th century in a beautiful park-like setting and remains one of Austria's leading attractions.

Beautiful aerial skyline view of Budapest, Hungary at sunrise with Szechenyi Chain Bridge over 

River Danube, Matthias Church and Parliament.

The Czech Republic’s capital is full of amazing sights of great value. But Charles Bridge definitely belongs among the TOP 5 most amazing ones. Not only is this medieval building one of the most famous bridges in the world, but it is also inseparably connected to the most glamorous era of Prague.

Krakow, the city entered into the first list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, offers a wealth of history and architecture.

Warsaw’s Old Town is the jewel in the Polish capital’s crown. It delights visitors with its colorful tenement houses and the unique atmosphere of its narrow streets. It is no wonder that it has been entered on the UNESCO World Heritage list!

Mostly known for its painful war history, Berlin is now a modern, cosmopolitan city.  Berlin has become a cultural hub, offering an interesting art scene, open-air concerts, festivals and vibrant nightlife.

Neuschwanstein Castle, in Bavaria, Germany, with its white limestone façade and deep blue turrets, is rumored to be real-life inspiration for the castle in the Disney classic, "Cinderella," released in 1950. The resemblance, after all, is striking.

ITINERARY
Check our adventure-packed itinerary for 3 days. We also arrange a 2-day tour if it fits you better.

Day 0: Departure is around 10PM to avoid the Manila traffic but make it just in time for sunrise in Banaue. We will pick you up at your place.

Day 1: Wake up to the verdant rice terraces of Banaue. You will have a photo stop-over and have breakfast here. After a hearty meal, you will proceed to Sagada to check-in. We will give you the first half of the day to shower, relax and rest a bit; it was a long trip after all. As your inn is situated in the town proper, you can just go to any restaurant of choice and take your lunch. Eat well as you will need energy for the optional afternoon activities which include a two-hour stroll to St. Mary's church, Echo Valley, the Hanging Coffins. We will end the day with Orange picking activity (seasonal activity)

Day 2: Make sure you to have a breakfast of champions (i.e. no dieting here!) as you will be up for some challenge today. The morning is dedicated to spelunking (caving) which, depending on your chosen route, can last from two to four hours. Expect to use all your dormant muscles. You can have your lunch after your adventure in the cave. The driver will take you to the jump-off of Banga'an rice terraces which is where you will start your hike to the water falls of Bomod-ok. The trek is 1 hour going down and 1.5 hr going up. After visiting Sagada weaving you will be taken back to the town afterwards for your dinner and souvenir shopping.

Day 3: Early wake-up call and check-out for sunrise watching at Kiltepan. Take your breakfast then head out to Manila with a lunch and photo stop-over in Baguio and strawberry picking activity (in season). Drop-off is same as pick-up point.

Cambodia

4D3N SIEM REAP-ANGKOR WAT-TONLE SAP LAKE TOUR
Land Arrangement (Exclusive of Airfare*)
Validity:  January to December 2020

For airfare quotation, please contact us.


---------


There’s a magic about Cambodia that casts a spell on many who visit this charming yet confounding kingdom. Ascend to the realm of the gods at the mother of all temples, Angkor Wat, a spectacular fusion of symbolism, symmetry and spirituality. Descend into the hell of Tuol Sleng and come face to face with the Khmer Rouge and its killing machine. Welcome to the conundrum that is Cambodia: a country with a history both inspiring and depressing, an intoxicating place where the future is waiting to be shaped.

Just as Angkor is more than its wat, so too is Cambodia more than its temples. The chaotic yet charismatic capital of Phnom Penh is a hub of political intrigue, economic vitality and intellectual debate. All too often overlooked by hit-and-run tourists ticking off Angkor on a regional tour, the revitalised city of Siem Reap is finally earning plaudits in its own right thanks to a gorgeous riverside location, a cultural renaissance, and a dining and drinking scene to rival the best in the region. And don’t forget the rest of the country: relax in the sleepy seaside town of Kampot and trek the nearby Bokor National Park; take an elephant ride in the jungles of Mondulkiri Province; ogle the Mekong dolphins at Kratie or simply choose a beach near Sihanoukville.


The years of fear and loathing are finally over and Angkor is once more the symbol of the nation, drawing pilgrims from across the globe. Peace has come to this beautiful yet blighted land after three decades of war, and the Cambodian people have opened their arms to the world. Tourism has well and truly taken off, yet a journey here remains an adventure as much as a holiday.

-----

Every country in the world displays some diversity, but South Africa, stretching from the hippos in the Limpopo River to the penguins waddling on the Cape, takes some beating. It befits its position at the southern end of the world’s most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at. There’s the deserted Kalahari, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers, iconic Table Mountain and Cape Point, Kruger National Park’s wildlife-stalked savannah (scene of the famous lion-buffalo-crocodile battle watched more than 40 million times on YouTube) and, running through the east of the country and into Lesotho, the Drakensberg.KwaZulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins.

If you’re interested in another kind of wildlife, hit the nightclubs on Cape Town’s jumping Long St or sample African homebrew in a township shebeen (unlicensed bar). When it’s time to reflect on it all, do it over seafood on the Garden Route, curry in Durban’s Indian Area, a sizzling Cape Malay dish, or a braai (barbecue) in the wilderness – accompanied by a bottle of pinotage produced by the oldest wine industry outside Europe.

Of course, it's impossible for travellers to South Africa to remain oblivious to the fact that, despite the rise of ‘black diamonds’ (middle-class black folk), racial inequality persists here. Black and coloured townships face problems such as a horrific HIV/AIDS rate and xenophobic tensions caused by economic refugees from nearby countries.

Nonetheless, South Africans are some of the most upbeat, welcoming and humorous folk you’ll encounter anywhere, from farmers in the rural north who tell you to drive safely on those dirt roads, to Khayelitsha kids who wish you molo (‘good morning’ in Xhosa).
