✈  UK – Kuala Lumpur (2 Nights): After taking a direct flight to Kuala Lumpur from your chosen UK airport you will have two nights in Malaysia’s capital to enjoy this wonderfully relaxed city. With its modern skyscrapers and traditional night markets, you mustn’t miss out on seeing the city from both viewpoints. Head up to the top of the Petronas Twin Towers for a bird’s eye view of the city, also visit the labyrinth of limestone caves and Hindu temples at the Batu Caves on the edge of the city. Enjoy Malaysia’s delicious street food on Petaling Street and try the wonderful Roti Prat pancakes as you wander around the markets.

✈  Kuala Lumpur – Hong Kong (3 Nights): You will then fly on to Hong Kong where you will stay for three nights. Hong Kong is the city that works hard and plays hard. With its’ ultra-modern harbour-side, backed by rolling hills, this is a city that truly embraces its East-Meets-West heritage. As an international centre of trade, the city has gained a shopping culture like no other and even if it’s not to buy, you should visit some of the huge malls – and don’t miss the bustling food markets that are a fascinating glimpse into the real Hong Kong. Take a trip on the iconic Star Ferry to see the city from the water and make sure you also enjoy the view from the top of a skyscraper too. The highest point on Hong Kong island is Victoria Peak and well worth the trip up the almost vertical Peak Tram, from the top you can enjoy spectacular walks and views over the lush green mountains. Take a boat over to Lamma island with its hidden beaches or over to Lantau island to see the Big Buddha statue.

✈ Hong Kong – Bangkok (3 Nights): You will then fly onto Bangkok for three nights where you can experience the bright lights of this buzzing city with its skyscrapers, delicious street food and fantastic restaurants. Visit the floating markets early in the morning along the city’s canals where you will see the characteristic wooden rowing boats laden full of fruit, vegetables and flowers. Don’t miss the spectacular Grand Palace as well as the stunning Buddhist Temples of Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Take a river tour to see the most scenic areas of the city with the constantly changing day and night scene along with the stilt houses alongside the waterways.

✈ Bangkok – Singapore (2 Nights):Finally, fly to Singapore where you will have two nights staying in this cosmopolitan city. With shopping and eating as the nation’s favourite pastimes allow plenty of time to enjoy both! The vast glitzy shopping centres along Orchard Road are a must-visit as are the Chinatown and Little India markets. Take the cable car over to the man-made Sentosa Island for fantastic views of the city as well as endless entertainment destinations. The ultra-modern Marina Bay area is home to Gardens by the Bay which is an incredible ‘city in a garden’ and is worth visiting with its different world climate zones. There are so many options for experiencing the mouth-watering local cuisine – start at Chinatown with its street stalls and hip cafes and enjoy the view from one of the city’s roof-top restaurants. You will then fly back to the UK after ten days exploring some of the World’s most vibrant cities.

✈Singapore- UK: On your last day you will be picked up and taken to the airport for your flight home to the UK.
