YOUR annual leave has been approved and your passport is begging to be stamped.
Let Peregrine Adventures take care of all the finer details with a guided tour to some of the most beautiful places on Earth.
We all know planning an overseas holiday can be a stressful experience. But it needn't be. Enter: tour packages.
Say goodbye to arguments over missed flights or dodgy accommodation. With a tour package, everything is taken care of. The only decisions you'll have to make once you take off is whether you'll spend your free time browsing local shops or lounging on the beach, or whether you'll have a white or red wine with dinner.
With Peregrine Adventures, everything is laid out for you. You're given all your supporting documentation and itineraries before you leave the country, a daily rundown from your friendly tour guide, along with information about the sites you'll visit and tips for where to dine and how to spend your free time. All that's left to do is kick back and enjoy your surrounds.
Known for its historical landmarks and beautiful beaches, Greece is undoubtedly a bucket list regular. Here you'll find Athens, Greece's lively capital and the birthplace of Zeus. Wonder at the beauty of the Acropolis, Parthenon temple and ancient ruins.
When you're done exploring the capital, the tour moves on to the likes of Santorini, Paros and Mykonos where you'll marvel at iconic architecture including the blue domes and white houses of famed Santorini, where donkeys, wine and Instagrammable views are everywhere, and the windmills of lively Mykonos, known for its bar scene.
If lounging by the Mediterranean is more your style, you'll have free time in spades in Crete, Mykonos and Santorini to soak up the sun and take in the cool waters that seem to extend for miles.
If you've ever longed to discover the cultural hotspot and vibrant colours of Morocco, then the Morocco Explorer is for you. Perched at the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco is a sensory overload.
The sights, sounds and smells of this place are unmatched by any other destination.
Whether it be the sand dunes that stretch their way across the Sahara Desert, the rich spices oozing from the medina in Fes or the call to prayer that rings from the great mosque in Casablanca, there is no shortage of culture in this charming land.
Channel your inner Lawrence of Arabia and take a camel ride across the Sahara, get lost in the abundance of marketplaces offering a taste of local cuisine or simply sit and watch the local artisans go about their day.
Home to hot air balloons, fairy chimneys, kebabs, Roman history, and 16 UNESCO World Heritage sites, there is so much to see and do in Turkey. Steeped by rugged mountains, historical ruins and sparkling seas, Turkey has witnessed some of the most significant events in history.
For Australians and New Zealanders, this includes the beaches of Gallipoli where thousands flock each year to pay their respects to fallen soldiers. Further back in time, Turkey saw the famed wooden horse of Troy and the invasion of Byzantium.
While its checkered, battle-torn past will tug on your heartstrings, Turkey is equally as well-known for its delicious food and friendly locals, who are all too willing to teach the art of rug making or invite tourists into their home for a tasty meal.
An eclectic mix of delicious cuisine, palm-fringed, white sandy beaches, superb ancient sites, magnificent scenery just waiting to be photographed, exotic wildlife, sprawling tea plantations and friendly locals, Sri Lanka is a traveller's dream.
Affectionately known as the Teardrop Isle, due to its shape, Sri Lanka boasts an impressive eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a culture deeply rooted in faith, with the achievements of the great Sinhalese civilisation apparent in the impressive cave temples of Dambulla and rock fortress of Sigiriya.
Nature lovers will get a real kick out of Sri Lanka, as it's home to the highest density of elephants in Asia, along with the incredible Yala National Park which has become a firm favourite amongst tourists.
A multi-layered tourist hotspot, Vietnam is best known for its pristine beaches, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities.
An even blend of modern and ancient history, from the Cu Chi war tunnels in Ho Minh City to the Chinese and Japanese architectural marvels of Hoi An, there is no shortage of wonders to uncover.
Take a cruise along the waterways of the iconic Delta, snorkel in Nha Trang or gaze out towards the surreal seascape of limestone islands from Halong Bay. And yet, all that natural beauty pales in comparison to the Vietnamese food that has tourists flocking to the country year-round.
Subtle in flavour yet incredibly diverse, Vietnamese cuisine is arguably the best in South East Asia, which is why there is no shortage of food tours and cooking schools for tourists to discover.
Team leader Flight Centre, Chancellor Park
"I love travelling. As a Team Leader for Flight Centre, I've fallen in love with a lot of different places - Provence, Queenstown, Hawaii and Chiang Mai are among my favourites. And now Vietnam too, thanks to my recent trip there with Peregrine Adventures.
One of the highlights for me was the unique accommodation. On the Mekong Delta, we stayed in a local Homestay style of accommodation. Also meeting the locals; we did a cooking course with a beautiful local lady and made some delicious regional dishes.
That's another great thing about Peregrine's tours - because the group sizes are so small, you get access to places big groups wouldn't be able to go. The unique experiences on these trips are really exciting. The tour guide was a highlight too, really knowledgeable, a true local and looked after our group. It was also really great to see the companies passion for sustainable travel and how the tours benefit the destination not impact it."
