6 reasons this tour company should be on your radar
Nexus Holidays provides five-star, all-inclusive tours and holiday packages – without a ridiculous price tag.
They been in business for two decades, and celebrated 10 years in Australia this year – but you may not have heard of them.
Nexus are currently busy rolling out a bunch of exciting tour and cruise products – and using their strong industry networks, particularly in Asia, to do it. Keep an eye on their website for updates!
Here are the six reasons you should be recommending Nexus Holidays.
1. Asia Experts
Nexus Holidays have 16 offices globally, with their headquarters in China, and are experts at touring Asia. They offer everything from stopover holidays in Shanghai to an epic 24-day discovery tour of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
They are well-established in Asia – and can therefore offer things you never knew you needed (like luxe accommodation and the newest transport), as well as show you off-the-beaten-path destinations and activities.
Their guides are English-speaking locals, and are able to give the best tour possible based on genuine local knowledge. Don’t take our word for it: just look at their long, long list of testimonials.
2. Excellent Service
You don’t get to serve over 70,000 customers a year without being good at it. One of Nexus Holidays main aims is to understand their customers’ current and future needs – which is why they have a dedicated quality control team.
And their customers clearly agree: in addition to the long list of testimonials previously mentioned, the company manages to break their own sales records every year – so they must be doing something right.
3. Value for money
Testimonials like: “the offer was such a good deal we couldn’t say no” and “I still can’t believe what value we got for so little money. It was terrific!” are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing Nexus Holidays value for money.
Their slogan is “five star experiences at four star prices” – and they offer highly competitive prices for their all-inclusive tours.

4. Extraordinary Itineraries
With Nexus Holidays, you can explore the glaciers and walk the wilderness of Canada. But if venturing into a grizzly bear valley isn’t your scene, you can cruise across Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan or take in the incredible Swiss Alps while sipping a hot chocolate.
Nexus builds ‘unique creations’, providing fly-tour-cruise-stay tours that give clients the opportunity to experience destination countries through in-depth guided tours, while also enjoying a leisurely ocean or river cruise as part of the package.
These are just a few of the itinerary highlights that show what Nexus Holidays does differently to other tour companies.
5. Cultural Appreciation
Unlike many other tour companies, Nexus Holidays want their clients to gain a true cultural appreciation for the destinations they visit, so they specifically design and develop their tours based on the local knowledge of their staff – many of whom are from the countries their clients visit, or have lived and travelled extensively there themselves.
They also spend time on tour truly exploring the destinations – with many testimonials praising leaving early in the morning and not being back until early evening ‘after seeing so much’.
6. Flexibility
Whichever tour you book into with Nexus Holidays, you’ll have the option of upgrading your experience – whether that be a different airline, better room, additional activities such as local shows or cultural events, or a stopover for a few nights in an a must-see city like Hong Kong.
You also have the option of arriving early or staying on after your tour, and their tours are often designed so that you can add another city, country, or even an ocean or river cruise, to your tour.
