I have booked this trip for friends of 4 and we had an amazing time during this tour. We have upgraded the trip to 4 stars hotels and the selection of accommodation was really good. My favorite was Rosemary hotel in Hoi An, it had a convenient location, but in a quiet area. The hotel in Cambodia was quite far from the center comparing to other hotels, but the service there was great and it looked very beautiful. The guides were very nice and knowledgeable. Me and my husband are vegans and all the meals during the tour were arranged accordingly, and the guides were always happy to recommend good places for having a meal during our free time. We enjoyed the trip so much that didn’t want to leave. You could expect some enquiries for the trips from our friends to whom we recommended you.
Me and my daughter took this trip in January and absolutely loved it. Vietnam was lovely, unfortunately many shops and cafes were closed due to Chinese New Year, but we had a great time in Halong Bay, it is really one of the most beautiful places we visited. Cambodia and Laos were spectacular, I will suggest to extend the time spent there for one more day, we really didn’t want to leave. And Thailand was our favorite part. We booked the optional tour to the elephant sanctuary and it was a highlight of our trip, we will never forget the time spent with the elephants! All was well organized, our consultant Minah was in touch with us every day. Thank you so much for making this trip happened!
What a wonderful experience. We felt totally looked after from start to finish. All the guides we had really knew what they were talking about and we had the best time. Fanstatic
