How we travel

The pace of a private trip, the company of a small group

Eight travellers fit in a village restaurant, a ryokan dining room or a single boat on the Mekong. That shapes everything we do: where we stay, where we eat and how long we linger.

—One local partner per country, vetted and under written contract with us
—Luggage forwarded ahead on long travel days, so you travel light
—A fixed price with no hidden extras: entrances, transport and dinners included
—A UK company you can call before, during and after your trip

About us

A founder-led company, built around the journeys

Eagle Spirit Travel was founded by Ahmad Sader after a career in communications and programme management with diplomatic missions, including the Embassy of Japan. That work built a lasting connection with Japan and its culture, and a belief that the best way to see a country is slowly, in good company.

We keep our range deliberately small, so every itinerary is one we know in detail and stand behind.
