Scroll down to discover our destination experts’ thoughts on where to go on holiday in spring...
Japan - chosen by Cassie Strickland
Cassie plans our tours across East and South-East Asia, and has travelled extensively around Japan’s islands. You can read more of her recommendations for Japan in our digital travel guide.
"Late March to mid-April is the prime time for the fabulous 'sakura' (cherry blossom)"
"April is also a great time to be in Takayama - magnificent floats are paraded through the streets for the town's harvest festival. In May, meanwhile, it's sumo season in Tokyo! We have special departure dates that take in the sumo tournament at the Kokugikan Arena, known as the spiritual home of the sumo."
India - chosen by Phil Ellis
Phil designs our holidays across India, Central Asia and Africa. He’s visited India half a dozen times, from the snowy north to the subtropical south, experiencing festivals, train rides, temple tours and even weddings.
“The month of March is the best time to visit northern India and undertake the classic Golden Triangle route"
"Temperatures are pleasant and, most importantly, dry. March is the month of Holi, the ‘festival of colour’, where vibrant powder paints are thrown in celebration alongside magical dancing and singing. Take the time to venture to Udaipur in late March and you should catch sight of the cheerful celebrations of the Mewar Festival, which heralds in the spring and all the positivity that comes with it.”
Italy - chosen by Alison Porter
As our destination expert for Europe and the UK, Alison spends weeks each year travelling across the continent, route-testing our tours and choosing exciting new destinations to add to our collection.
"May is the perfect time to visit Italy, with temperatures in the pleasant low 20s"
"I love Puglia in particular; one of the greatest perks of visiting at this time is that there are fewer crowds, particularly around must-see destinations including the ancient cave dwellings of Matera and the trulli neighbourhoods in Alberobello."
