Off Season Travel

Make the most of shoulder season with gentler temperatures in New Zealand during the southern hemisphere's autumn. During our Contrasts on New Zealand tour, tick off cities, wildlife, and experience rural Māori culture, plus the opportunity to get up close and personal with New Zealand's national bird at the National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience.

Our Vietnam and Cambodia Uncovered tour showcases the magnificence of both countries, from Cambodia's iconic Angkor Wat temple to an overnight stay in a traditional style Vietnamese Junk boat in Halong Bay. The summer months in South East Asia bring high temperatures, though the hot weather simply calls for more ice-cold refreshments. Vietnamese iced coffee, anyone?

Autumn is a great time to visit southern Europe, with September and October generally bringing good weather but mild temperatures. Our Highlights of Spain & Portugal tour packs in double the fun across two countries, from sipping sherry in Jerez to exploring the historic monuments of Madrid, featuring many local delicacies along the way.

Though it might be a chillier time to visit, the winter months see Germany's world-famous Christmas markets come to life, and what better way to see them than on our German Christmas Markets tour? Step into an enchanting winter wonderland and you join locals in embracing the festivities, visiting Germany's oldest Christmas market and indulging in local cuisine.
