who are we
Young Pioneer Tours (YPT) was born in 2008 from the passion of Gareth Johnson and a dedicated group of expats in China. We embraced the spirit of exploration, eager to venture off the beaten path, and decided to share our unique travel experiences with others.
Beginning with tours to North Korea, YPT quickly broadened its horizons to include some of the world’s most remote, exotic, and thought-provoking destinations. With over a decade of expertise in crafting unforgettable journeys, we focus on what matters most to you, our fellow Pioneers: immersing yourself in diverse cultures, connecting with locals, forging new friendships, and pushing the limits of adventure travel.
