With travellers becoming increasingly demanding and in constant search of new, culturally immersive and unique experiences, Viator has unveiled a list of the travel website’s top five picks of luxurious Asian tours, that were created especially for those wanting to explore the region in style:
1. An exclusive private tour to Mount Fuji and Sengen Shrine in Tokyo
This one-of-a-kind exclusive tour from Tokyo showcases the mesmerising and beguiling beauty of the iconic Mount Fuji. Accompanied by a personal guide, travellers will get the chance to venture into the majestic mountain to experience its snow-sprinkled peak and panoramic vistas, followed by a visit to a sacred Shinto shrine where a local priest will lead a private guided tour and share some of his personal anecdotes.
The tour comes to a close with a visit to Mount Fuji’s 5th station, a look-out point referred to as ‘the border between heaven and earth’, and a lunch of Japanese specialties in a traditional village.
From USD349.
2. Hot air balloon ride with champagne breakfast in Chiang Mai
The beauty of northern Thailand is best experienced from the skies, with a hot air balloon ride for breathtaking views above the treetops. Nestled among the forested foothills of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a land of misty mountains, colourful hill tribes and lush green rainforest. This private one-hour experience for two starts just as the sun begins to rise with a hot air balloon that gracefully drifts above the countryside for stunning panoramic views as far as the eye can see.
The tour is finished off with a picnic-style breakfast and a glass of bubbly for the perfect start to a day.
From USD343.
