The Award-Winning Tour Specialist
China is a destination that puts everything else into perspective. Standing on the Great Wall as it rolls across mountain ridges into the distance, or facing the silent ranks of Xi'an's terracotta warriors, you get a real sense of the scale of a civilisation that has been shaping the world for millennia. You'll cruise the Yangtze through gorges of breathtaking drama, wander through ancient water towns where life moves at the pace of a slow river, and travel through a country that is as extraordinary in its modern ambition as it is in its ancient history. Your national guide and local experts will be with you every step of the way, making sure you get the most out of every experience.
After an adventure on that scale, a beach stay isn't just a nice addition - it feels essential. Because China's most celebrated touring regions sit inland or along its eastern coast, we've paired our China tours with two great beach options reachable by a short onward flight. Hua Hin, on Thailand's Gulf coast, is graceful, golden, and wonderfully unhurried - the perfect place to decompress after everything you've taken in. Dubai offers something more vibrant - world-class resorts, a glittering Arabian Gulf, and a city that's as fascinating to explore as it is to relax in. Either way, you'll arrive at the beach having truly earned it.

Hua Hin is Thailand's original beach resort, and it carries that heritage with quiet confidence. Sitting on the western shore of the Gulf of Thailand, it's a world away from the busier island resorts - longer, wider, and noticeably more relaxed, with a stretch of golden sand that's rarely crowded and a warm, shallow sea that's ideal for swimming. After the scale and intensity of a China tour, the change of pace here is very welcome indeed.
You'll find it easy to settle in. The beach is wide and beautiful, the seafood restaurants that line the shore are excellent, and the sunsets over the Gulf are genuinely spectacular. Those who want a little more will find a lively night market, a charming old fishing pier, and a royal palace that speaks to Hua Hin's long history as a retreat for Thai royalty. There's also some of the best golf in Southeast Asia nearby, if that's your thing. But mostly, Hua Hin is a place to slow down, enjoy the warmth, and take your time - and it does that better than almost anywhere.
Dubai has a habit of exceeding expectations. You might arrive thinking you know what to expect - and leave having been surprised at every turn. Alongside the famous skyline and the world-class shopping, there's a city of real cultural depth here: ancient souks filled with spice and gold, a beautifully preserved historic quarter, and a desert on the doorstep that is vast, humbling, and not to be missed.
The beach matches the city's ambition. Dubai's Arabian Gulf coastline is warm, brilliantly clear, and home to some of the finest resort hotels in the world - places that do luxury with a level of care and attention to detail that's hard to find elsewhere. The sea is calm and inviting, the sun is virtually guaranteed, and the backdrop of that extraordinary skyline rising behind you is unlike anything else on earth. You can do as much or as little as you like here - Dubai works brilliantly as a place to explore and equally well as a place to simply unwind.
