Remote Lands Inc — Local services in New York

A Journey of a Lifetime with Remote Lands

From start to finish, Remote Lands delivered an absolutely flawless travel experience. Their service is bar none—truly in a league of its own. We were especially amazed by how responsive and accommodating the team was when we requested a last-minute change to our itinerary while already in Beijing. They handled everything with such ease and professionalism—from canceling our original plans, extending our stays in Zhangjiajie and Lijiang, to arranging for an extended English-speaking guide in Zhangjiajie. We were beyond impressed by their flexibility, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients.

Every hotel, every transfer, every guide—exceptional. We have not a single complaint.

The Aman hotel was especially unforgettable. The property itself is stunning, but it was the staff who made the experience extraordinary. Their attention to detail, warmth, and level of service went far beyond our expectations. We felt truly special from the moment we arrived. That experience alone is something we will remember for a long time.

To all our amazing guides:

Anthony (Beijing): A walking encyclopedia of history! Our Great Wall experience in Jinshanling was magical—like we had the whole place to ourselves.

Gerard (Xi’an): Accommodating, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. He ensured our car and hotel were smoke-free and made every effort to keep us comfortable.

Lily (Zhangjiajie): Sweet, nurturing, and full of heart. She always had snacks on hand and led us through stunning sights come rain or shine.

William (Zhangjiajie): Hilarious and full of stories—and a bonus, he spoke fluent Japanese!

Mr. Rock (Lijiang): Energetic, fun, and unforgettable. Our hike at Yulong Shan (Jade Dragon Mountain) started in the sunshine and ended in a downpour—cold, soaked, and smiling all the way. A memory we’ll treasure forever.

Thank you, Remote Lands, for creating such a magnificent trip and for your incredible flexibility and attention when we needed changes. We will absolutely be looking to you again for our...

As seasoned world travelers, my wife and I recently experienced the very best in ultra luxurious touring. Each part of our 6 country, 25 day expedition was perfect. The very best hotels, the very best guides and specially crafted experiences that will remain fixed in our memories. On on top of it all, was the private jet, configured for opulence, making the international flights seem to "fly" by. Whether it was feasting on the finest food or newly formed friendships teaching us how to juggle oranges, these flights were simply beyond. Remote Lands spared no expense in creating "one of a kind experiences" from a dinner and show on the grounds of an ancient temple in Cambodia to a farewell dinner on a 100 foot yacht in the waters of Thailand. Each facet of the trip had hands on management from the greeters assigned to us in each airport to real time access to tour management. Each hotel manager knew us by name and my wife's allergy was made know to each establishment that...

We had the most incredible 10-day trip through Northern Thailand thanks to Nicole and team at Remote Lands. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully planned. The team was so responsive and created a truly bespoke itinerary tailored exactly to our interests. Every detail was taken care of—beautiful hotels, amazing guides, private tours, and even little touches like cold towels and local snacks after hot days of exploring.

Highlights included visiting stunning temples, jungle hikes, spending time with elephants, and an unforgettable cooking class with a visit to a local market. Everything felt special and personalized, with a perfect balance of cultural experiences, adventure, and relaxation.

If you’re looking for a travel company that combines luxury with authentic experiences, I can’t recommend Remote Lands enough. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way and came home with memories that will...
