E.Y.H.O. Tours Canada, also known as Eat Your Heart Out Tours, is a family-run Canadian company that specializes in small group tours that explore the textiles, material culture, architecture, and history of traditional societies around the world. Led by field experts and often accompanied by the founder, Shila Desai, these tours offer hands-on workshops and cultural interactions in destinations like India, Japan, Morocco, and Mexico. They also host online lectures on the material culture of their destinations. The company focuses on providing unique, sensitively curated travel experiences, with a high rate of repeat customers.

Strengths
- Unique and specialized tours: E.Y.H.O. Tours offers niche tours focused on textiles and culture, providing unique experiences not found in mainstream travel.
- Expert-led experiences: Tours are led by field experts and the company's founder, ensuring knowledgeable and engaging experiences.
- High customer satisfaction: The company boasts a high percentage of repeat customers, indicating strong customer satisfaction and a history of delivering exceptional travel experiences.

Areas for improvement
- Small group size: While offering personalized experiences, the small group size may limit availability and increase tour costs
- Niche focus: The specialized focus on textiles and material culture might not appeal to a broader audience seeking more general travel experiences
- Limited online presence: A stronger online presence with more detailed information and active social media engagement could enhance visibility and attract more customers.

Uzbek ikats or atlas, with their distinctive flamboyant patterns have captured the attention of patrons and designers all over the world. Carefully crafted through the labour intensive processes of obtaining silk, tying thread bundles, dyeing the warp, weaving with utmost precision - and we get to be a part of it all with the makers themselves!

We are headed to the heart of the Fergana valley to experience how these textile traditions have been revived and have evolved over Uzbekistan’s history. Bold, geometric and unforgettable: that’s how we like to describe atlas textiles.

Join us on our journey through Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the Fall of 2025!
