About CultureRoad

CultureRoad began in 2015. It has become your tour operator for destinations hard to reach all over the world. The regular face of CultureRoad is Dutchman Rik Brinks. An adventurer at heart and soul who still regularly travels with some of our group tours. All our destinations are first carefully explored & curated by him before we put together the itineraries to offer. Making contact with the locals, looking beyond the beaten track, and having a full dose of good courage and optimism have brought CultureRoad to where it is today. New destinations are added regularly. Today, CultureRoad continues to excite you with new exotic adventures, unique experiences and wonderful memories.

What do our travellers think

It was truly a great trip to an interesting country that has been through lots of hardship in recent years but the people were so friendly and welcoming.

Steve White – Syria, individual tour

Great tour with wonderful memories. Loved it when the head of security at the mosque said “we’ve been watching you on camera and trying to figure out who you are!”  That’s when you know you’re off the beaten path of many westerners. It was fantastic to be welcomed in and even served tea!

Steve Homrich – Iraq, group tour

The whole trip to North Korea was very well taken care of by CultureRoad. Well done!
