Built for the way we wish travel worked.
Excurze exists because the best experiences in Asia are rarely the ones you find first.
We started as a collection of handwritten notes — the kind you pass to a trusted friend. The tea master in Uji who doesn't have a website. The family in Rajasthan who still cook over clay. The junk captain who knows every cove in Ha Long Bay by name.
Over time, those notes became a platform. Not a marketplace — a curated guide. Every experience on Excurze is one we believe in, from an operator we trust, in a place we know deeply.
We don't chase scale. We chase depth.
2020
First 50 curated experiences listed
We grew slowly by design — only adding experiences our own team had tested and trusted. By the end of the year, 50 experiences across 8 destinations.
2022
Responsible Travel Policy launched
We formalised our commitment: 110% carbon offsetting on all trips, a hard no on exploitative wildlife experiences, and a minimum 60% spend through locally-owned operators.
2025
Bespoke itinerary service launched
After years of one-off concierge requests, we formalised our bespoke service: full day-by-day itinerary design for travellers who want a trip built around them, not a template.
Curation over volume
We list only experiences personally vetted by our team on the ground — every one researched and tested before it appears. If we haven't done it ourselves, it doesn't appear.
Private by design
All our experiences are private or small-group. No joining a tour bus, no strangers at your table. Your time, your pace, your story.
Operators as partners
We work exclusively with local operators who share our values: fair wages, community respect, and a love for the craft of travel.
No algorithmic filler
Our editorial content is written by people who live and travel in Asia — not SEO machines. Every article reflects a place we know, not a keyword we chased.
