Vast deserts, open steppe, fertile valleys and striking mountain ranges shape the landscapes of the Five Stans, the five former Soviet republics of Central Asia. Their towns and cities reveal the movement of armies, traders, and scholars over millennia: Greek and Persian campaigns, Mongol expansion, Silk Road exchange, ambitious astronomers, and Soviet-era experiments. Encounter traditional villages, intricately tiled madrassas, alpine lakes, lively markets and wide boulevards − a vivid portrait of a region where histories overlap and contemporary Central Asian culture continues to evolve in fascinating ways.
About this trip: We have two versions of this trip. One starts in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, and ends in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the other runs in reverse. Apart from the direction of travel, the two itineraries are similar – the main difference is the route taken through Kyrgyzstan and the accommodation there. This itinerary runs from Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan, includes Son Kul Lake, and has two nights staying in yurts in Kyrgyzstan. The reverse itinerary includes Chon-Kemin and Bishkek and stays in guesthouses and hotels rather than yurts.

Fantastic itinerary, we had so many amazing experiences, we learnt a lot about the culture, history and people. We experienced many things that we would not have if we had travelled alone. Our guide was passionate and entertaining. He was a font of knowledge and added to our enjoyment I have not felt as relaxed travelling solo, knowing that all the transport, porterage etc was taken care of allowed me to enjoy the experience without the stress.

From sunrise mist in the Sapa hills to sunset sails across the limestone peaks of Lan Ha Bay, the AOS Vietnam trip is pure, soul‑stirring adventure. Each day brought a fresh burst of wonder.Kayaking quiet coves, cycling through Hoi An’s lantern‑lit countryside, and wandering heritage streets that felt like living poetry while our expert guides kept things effortless and full of fun! If you’re looking for a journey that’s heartfelt, adventurous, and unforgettable, this is the one!

This trip delivered a comprehensive journey around Tasmania with a good balance of time on our own with organised activities. The organised activities were able to be enjoyed by most of those in our group including a couple of folk using walking frames while facilitating the availability of more physical exploring from those of us who wanted that. Both our tour guide and driver were excellent and looked after the diverse group competently and with great care.

Arnie made sure we had our daylight hours filled with sights and has a real knack for getting us to sights before the crowds arrived. Iceland was really out of this world and to be able to see it guided by a passionate local was such a treat. I definitely plan to do the summer trip at some point

Loved this trip! Island hopping, snorkeling with turtles and the most beautiful beach sunsets! The group all got along so well and as a solo traveller, I always felt included and looked after! We had the amazing Dian as our tour leader. She really went above and beyond in every aspect and made the trip incredible.

Who would have thought (without this trip) that there could be such astonishingly lively, unspoiled and (for the most part) unfrequented mountain terrain - and such beautiful and varied walking - just a stone's throw from the infamous high-rise resort of Benidorm?
