TOUR CODE: TYDPSG
Trip Type: Semi-Independent Journey
Spend this vacation splitting your time between three popular Asian travel destinations. By most measures, Tokyo, Japan’s capital and the world’s largest city, is known for its contrasts. Embark on a city tour visiting the city’s many landmarks, and take a full-day excursion to the iconic Mt Fuji and the resort town of Hakone. Spend your free time checking out the dazzling spectacle of Shibuya (Japan’s answer to Times Square) just as easily as you could spend time basking in the tranquility of the city’s many traditional gardens. On the breathtaking isle of Bali, our full-day tour takes you to some of Bali’s must-see attractions, such as Barong Dance, Ubud’s fascinating countryside, spectacular Tegallalang ricefield terraces, and breathtaking mountain scenery at Kintamani. Seminyak’s stunning coastline is home to amazing chilling out spots. Potato Head, Cocoon, and Ku De Ta boast some of the most happening parties on the island. Our tour ends with a 2-night stay in Singapore before taking our flight home.
