Frequently asked questions
What is Rainbow Asia Tour?
Rainbow Asia Tour is a boutique travel company offering small-group, luxury, and culturally immersive tours throughout Asia.
We focus on creating safe, comfortable, and memorable experiences for LGBTQ+ travelers and their allies, blending authentic cultural experiences with high-quality accommodations and seamless logistics.
Why did you create Rainbow Asia Tour?
The idea for Rainbow Asia Tour came from my own experiences traveling as a queer woman in Asia. I realized that many LGBTQ+ travelers face discomfort or uncertainty when exploring new countries. I created this company to provide a space where travelers can experience Asia authentically, safely, and comfortably—without compromising their identity or peace of mind.
Who are your tours designed for?
Our tours are designed primarily for LGBTQ+ travelers who want an immersive, luxury, and culturally rich travel experience. We welcome adult travelers (18+) who are curious about Asia and value safety, comfort, and meaningful connections during their journey.
Are allies welcome on your tours?
Yes! Allies are warmly welcomed. We believe travel can foster understanding and connections across communities, and allies who respect and support LGBTQ+ travelers are an important part of our small-group experiences.
