Another client that we add value to. Glad that clients see the value we provide to her recent Vietnam vacation.

From the beginning, we have been outfront with our clients that our vacation planning to Vietnam stands out in terms of quality from the market norm, keeping them safe from scams, not forgetting providing top-notch services. Our clients trusted us wholeheartedly and enjoyed their vacations thoroughly 🥳🎉😀

It is the last month of 2024 and at Epic Travel Designer, we are busy "dressing" our new rebranded website for 2025 and hence the lack of updates here....

Keep watching this space on when we will launch our new website 😀

[Behind the scenes]

Working hard for our next site visiting coming soon. Xinjiang is a destination that has been on our radar for a long time. It spells exotic. In fact, we have been there 20 years back and wanted to return again. The opportunity finally came with our new partners on board.

As with all destinations, we always do our research and homework before recommending it to our clients. We are not they typical travel planner that relies on our partners or destination management consultant (DMC) for planning. We plan and design based on real-life experiences. That is how we arm ourselves with knowledge and improve. Hence our itineraries are unique.

The biggest challenge for this trip: translating all the Mandarin to English. And boy, the characters and pinyin are testing our Mandarin to the max.

And yes, download all the useful Chinese apps with tons of information. Most importantly, our credit cards are bound to Wechat. Now, we can "travel like a local" paying via QR codes.

Stay tune for more updates....

Oops, someone has caught up on "the secret". Truth is, for our groups heading to Hokkaido to ski, Furano has always been our first choice. There are just so much to do in Furano, Biei and Asahikawa.

Get away from the crowd in Sapporo and Niseko (goodbye tour groups 😆😆) and join us for an authentic less touristy experience.

Your kids can also partake in cheese making, ice cream making and visit the renowned Asahiyama Zoo (with arctic and polar animals).

A head appears in the ground where I’m digging.    I throw my shovel to the side and start    frantically using my gloved hands, raking at    the snow like a dog would sand. When it’s    finally exposed, I raise the head up to gasps    and praise from my fellow trav...

Instead of Kyoto, head to the many "Little Kyotos" all over Japan. One of our favorite and nearby Tokyo is Kawagoe in Saitama.

Take the road less travelled to enjoy a truly Japan vacation.

Speak to us and "pick" our brains on your next vacation 😀

Kyoto has been using its name to boost tourism in various regions of Japan for over 30 years. In 1985—with a goal to work together in preserving local history and culture as well as promote tourism — Kyoto and 26 municipalities formed the All Japan Kyoto Association (also called the…

Newest attraction in Tokyo. We believe if they iron out their language barriers, it would be the next thing to do in Tokyo.

A new theme park in Tokyo lets you be the star of the show.

Travel is personal development. Once a year, go to somewhere you have never been before, try new food, speak to people of a different culture. You will notice how you have grown.

If China is on your radar, and you like a customised vacation off the mainstream, speak to us. China is always of the destinations that we are fond of, of the food, culture, history and scenery.

This is very much welcome. Hopefully cash will be a thing of the past. Keeping fingers crossed more countries will follow.

Starting in April, visitors to Myeong-dong, the busiest shopping district in Seoul, will be able to pay street food vendors using credit cards.

A happy Saturday. Starting the day with another positive review from our client, Richard.

It was one of the longest itinerary we had designed to date, 19 days. We had lots of fun as the client was open to many of our ideas, exposing his family to many Japanese culture and activities not found in mainstream tours.

Planning his tour was like a virtual Japan tour for us. We loved how he kept us updated on their experiences and excitement.

Thank you Richard for the wonderful experience and we certainly look forward to have you back again.

Part of our job is fuelled by passion for travel. It feels wonderful to know clients appreciate our effort and enjoyed their hard earned vacation.

If you are looking for a handcrafted vacation, speak to us now. You just need to let us know what you have in mind and we will design the rest 😀

Another positive review to start the week. We have been running our Taiwan tours for over a decade and it is a proven formula for an enjoyable vacation in Taiwan.
