 Croatia, Dalmatia and Istria |
Returning for our third consecutive year to arguably one of the most captivating regions in the world. From the fortified old city walls of Dubrovnik and the marble like appearance of it’s well worn Stradun, to the quaint seaside town of Cavtat, then north along azure blue waters and peninsulars dotted with terracotta roofs and proud Cathedral spires, to the vibrant city of Split. Browsing the markets at Trogir and marvelling at the beauty of Plitvice Lakes. Exploring the medieval Trakoscan castle resplendently furnished appropriate with the period, and the serenity of the fairytale setting at Lake Bled, a sight that defies description. Combine these with a miniature train ride inside one of Europes largest caves in Postonja, and sunset walks along seaside promenades on the beautiful Istrian peninsular and you have defining moments in an extraordinary journey” |

 Vietnam and Cambodia |
“More than a holiday destination Vietnam and Cambodia is an experience that will leave you with indelible memories. From rugged jungle clad mountains, stunning coastline and beaches, meandering rivers and deltas. The cities are as diverse as the country, from the colonial elegance of Hanoi and Phnom Penh, to the bustle of Saigon and the quaint towns of Hue and Hoi An. Have your senses awakened by sights and aromas, experience the wonderment of Halong Bay, be spellbound by the incredible temples of Angkor Wat, and be humbled by the resilience, warmth and hospitality of the people and culture of two of Asia’s most alluring countries. A relaxed and easy paced tour with English speaking guides throughout, carefully selected four star plus accommodation with excellent facilities in great locations, something to look forward to after a day of discovery and adventure”. |

At Travel 2 U the customer/client relationship is taken to a new level, to the extent we feel like family, and that is the impression we get, that you (Travel 2 U) have a genuine interest in us. What more could we ask for.! We look forward to planning our next great adventure abroad, and when we do we know who we'll be calling "
