Operating cultural adventures and overland expeditions to extraordinary places is what AAST is all about. We are adventure travellers ourselves. We believe that luxury can be affordable and that planning an unforgettable trip of a lifetime can be as easy and stress-free as the journey itself.

Experienced Professionals
When you choose to travel with AAST, you get to work with a team of professionals and experienced travellers who have collectively left footprints in almost everywhere in the world. You get the benefit of an extraordinary network of partners throughout the regions that have been chosen for their quality, attention to detail and dedication to customer service. We frequently inspect the hotels and lodges we use, check road conditions and talk to our local operation team members and guides. We have our own in-house mechanics to maintain the Land Rover Discovery vehicles, which we have purchased to use on our overland expedition journeys.

Careful Planning
We plan each itinerary with a great amount of personal touch. We know how important the pace of a trip to a foreign land can be. We match hotels to the style of the trip and choose modes of transportation that maximize the expedition, game-viewing or sightseeing experience as well as the comfort. We carefully plan our programs to ensure you have enough time in each stop to see the sights - and have leisure time to relax and enjoy yourself. Our meal plans are carefully developed so you receive outstanding value - but also have time to taste local specialties on your own.

Customizing Is Our Strength
For those who cannot fit our scheduled departures into their calendars, or who prefer to travel with their own friends and family, we design custom programs to suit your specific needs. We have operated special trips for groups such as the Canadian Bar Association, Royal Ontario Museum, Upper Canada College, New Hampshire Friendship Chorus and so on.

Our Commitment
We pride ourselves on our high level of service. You'll usually hear back from us within 24 hours (except on weekends and holidays) and receive a detailed quote within 48 to 72 hours. Our offices are open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST Monday through Friday and one of our staff will be happy to answer your questions and help you plan the best trip. Each year, more than 60% of our travellers are either repeat clients or under the recommendation of our past travellers.

The world is filled with wonderful and fascinating places. When you're thinking about your next trip, choose AAST!
