HANDPICKED TRAVEL WITH AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCESEvery journey is special. At MW Tours we are dedicated to ensuring each holiday you take is the trip of a lifetime. Our team spends hours researching and planning each itinerary, from our brochure product to tailor-made (FIT) travel. We know our destinations, visit them personally, and regularly upskill through direct product training.

We are consistent in delivering quality product that is priced comfortably, and we are known for our special added value. Our inclusions are some of the best in the market, thanks to the relationships we have built with our ground operators.

As an Australian family owned business, if you contact us you will always talk to one of our local staff. Our team is diverse and multicultural, and we take pride in the long lasting relationships we have created.

Every experience we provide is authentic and genuine, including some of the most unique opportunities possible in remote destinations.

SMALL GROUP SIZES, GUARANTEED DEPARTURES & SOLO TRAVELLERS We guarantee our tours will depart with a minimum of two travellers (excluding our best selling Cherry Blossom & Garden, and Japan Golden Route Tours). This allows you to travel at the time that suits you best, regardless of the popularity of the season. Popular departure dates generally have group sizes of four to eight people depending on destination, allowing you an intimate personalised experience.

If you are travelling as a single passenger, we try our utmost to match you with another solo traveller in order for your tour to go ahead. As a solo traveller you still retain the option for your own accommodation. Our Single Supplements are the extra costs required for a solo traveller to stay in twin share accommodation. We do our best to keep these additional costs as affordable as possible.

PROFESSIONAL DESTINATION GUIDESOne of the best benefits of touring with MW Tours is the fantastic local and national guides that will take you on your journey. Our experienced English speaking guides handle your daily arrangements, from checking in at your fantastic accommodation, to explaining the unique sights of the area. They have a wealth of knowledge, and can provide you with a personal local experience.

DELICIOUS LOCAL CUISINEWe know that when you travel you may like to enjoy some of the comforts from home, as well as experience life as a local. For this reason, we offer a combination of Western and local cuisine during your journey. Breakfast is often a mixed buffet, so you can start your day with a full stomach before exploring the fantastic sights! Throughout the day your local guides will assist you with service at the most authentic and quaint eateries, giving you a taste of some of the most popular and traditional foods in the region.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONSTravelling in comfort is essential for a pleasurable journey, so we only use full service airlines. Once you arrive at your destination, you can enjoy travelling by quality local transport, from modern air-conditioned vehicles, to high speed rail, and even cable cars to mountain peaks.

THE LITTLE EXTRASIt’s the little things that change your tour from enjoyable to extraordinary! Tipping is often a big worry for our clients, as it is often required in our destinations but not here at home. By including it, we ensure our guides receive the correct remuneration for their incredible service (based on group size, tour duration, and more). Before your journey you will receive your final travel documents, including air tickets, detailed intinerary, accommodation details, and special destination information. We’ll also provide you with 24hr local and overseas contacts. These contacts can be utilised at any time, so you can travel with us worry-free.

Depending on group size you may also have an escort travelling from Australia.

You may need to meet at a dedicated pick-up point or be dropped in a central area to make your own way home. This allow you to see the best sights in our fantastic destinations, whilst giving you extra freedom to explore on your own.

� Budget friendly, you can choose your own methods of transportation, make your own way to hotels, or decide where to eat.

Seat in Coach (SIC) TravelMany destinations often offer group tours that can be joined by travellers from all over the world. Known as SIC Tours, they allow English speaking travellers to join an escorted tour, with a National Guide who can best show you the highlights of a destination. MW Tours sell these tours on behalf of local suppliers and we only use the best SIC Tour providers to ensure our high standards are met. It’s important to note that these tours are mainly for first time travellers, so it’s best to keep in mind that they aim to show you as much as possible in a short period of time. Travel times each day may be as long as 12hrs to ensure you make the most of your experience.

Tailor-made (FIT) TravelIf our tours don’t have what you want, we can customise an itinerary that meets your needs!

Our FIT Tours can be organised in whichever way you want, allowing you the freedom to choose the style and budget that suits you the most.
