Founded in 1971, Pacific Delight Tours is a luxury travel company that offers tours in Asia for Americans. The company offers a wide selection of tours to countries including China, Japan, Thailand and India.
Mission
Pacific Delight Tours cater to American travelers who wish to explore lesser-known sites in addition to the popular tourist attractions. Three tour categories are offered at different prices: Gold level packages feature deluxe accommodations in Ritz Carlton and Peninsula hotels as well as smaller tour groups. Supervalue packages are more economical and have larger tour groups. Escapade tours bring travelers to offbeat destinations. Travelers can also build their own itineraries with city-specific tours that can be combined to form a custom vacation.
