Sudan is a country only now beginning to be discovered by foreign visitors. It will be a lifetime before it sees anything like the tourist numbers of neighboring Egypt. This is a huge country with a population of over 35 million people and although some regions are closed off to foreign visitors, Sudan’s northeast is extremely safe.

Mongolia is an off the beaten path type of destination that can be a challenge to get to. Sometimes the Trans-Mongolian railway is the closest people get to 'seeing' Mongolia. Some people report being on the Trans-Mongolian for less than 10 hours, and immediately begin to wonder why they decided to spend 7 days on a train. Visiting Mongolia by itself though, is an experience in itself, and our standalone Mongolia Tour will have you exploring all the best things to see in Mongolia as well as its incredible Naadam Festival, a celebration of Mongolian culture.
Join us for our inaugural trip to the little-known Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan! Sandwiched between India and China, Bhutan has maintained an utterly unique culture from most of the rest of the world, having firmly resisted aspects of modernisation for decades and paying particular attention to cultural heritage and natural preservation. Being an absolute monarchy (led by the ‘Dragon King’ no less), Bhutan has found it comparatively easy to maintain a culture some might see as ‘archaic’, but that is slowly changing.
There are two Mongolia’s, the independent Republic of Mongolia and the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia, technically part of China. Their histories and cultures have diverged in some drastically different ways, so it hardly seems fair to only visit one on our (hyperlink to the other Mongolia tour). We’re giving you the chance to visit both back-to-back, or even just this one as a standalone adventure!

If there is one time of the year that can be the most interesting to visit Cuba, it would have to be for the May Day parade - the biggest and most colourful celebration of the year in Cuba. A fusion of Soviet-era politics and Latin American carnival that the whole country comes to a standstill for. Enjoy the euphoric party atmosphere on the streets to the sounds of Latin revolutionary music, while watching the communist party elite presiding over the festivities and parade.
Our Colombia tour takes in some incredible landscapes including Tayrona National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountain range including some time spent with the Wiwa indigenous people and a night in an eco resort for some R&R after some amazing hiking and little known swimming spots.
The tour begins in Old Havana, one of the best-preserved colonial cities in all of the Americas. What you will see around you is a Cuban city that was once incredibly rich, as is still evident in its now faded art deco and internationally influenced design - none of which has lost its appeal. Many buildings are now being restored and a stroll around Havana when you arrive for the first day of your tour is a sensory overload.
Real, authentic and bold - see Colombia and Cuba, the Global Village way!

Our North Korea Marathon Tours are among our most popular, and surely one of the most unique ways to see the Peoples Democratic of North Korea! This incredible event is only the fifth year that foreign tourists and amateurs are welcomed to compete or spectate from the grandstands of Kim Il Sung Stadium.
Without a doubt one of the top tours of the DPRK tourist season, the birthday of President Kim Il Sung is the biggest celebration of the year. We expect this to be a huge celebration with fireworks, mass dancing, possibly parades and a number of other events that will most likely be announced much nearer the time to mark the 107th anniversary of the President’s birthday.
Join us for the celebrations marking Victory Day in the DPRK! Summer is a great time to be in North Korea and what better reason to go than to help celebrate Victory Day with the locals!
