Had the best 10 days in Cambodia with trutravels, our tour guide Hul went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible, it was so lovely to see him welcome us to his home country!

The whole tour was amazing. Angkor Wat was the highlight of our trip. The additional activity of Vespa ride through Saigon was the most enjoyable thing we did. Would highly recommend the additional days in Bangkok. We ventured through the floating market, a lot of fun. All hotels were very good, WiFi was excellent in all the hotels. Our guides in each country definitely helped us enjoy all the tours and their knowledge was great.

My wife and I truly enjoyed this best of China with Yahtze cruise and recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting China. This tour takes you to all the sights that mostly everyone who is thinking of going to China wants to see. We stayed at very nice accommodations and every restaurant that we had our meals were delicious. We also loved all the optional experiences. This China tour is a once in a lifetime experience!

I had the time of my life on my recent contiki trip to Japan. The group made the trip so much enjoyable. My trip manager was very knowledgeable and was such a vibe we enjoyed him very much. The places we went to was so pretty. The special stays were a once in a lifetime. With the Buddhist temple stay and the traditional home stay. However the last 2 days felt wasted due to us traveling from Kyoto to Osaka to Koyasan back to Osaka. Other than that the trip was amazing The itinerary was good the partying was fun and all the activities and FTAddons were great too. Thanks Contiki for such an amazing trip
Terry M. | Traveled in April
The itinerary was terrific. I loved all the places and sites we visited. I especially enjoyed the panda conservancy and the Goddess Stream cruise that was part of the Yangtze River cruise. And I had so much fun at the cooking school learning how to cook Chinese cuisine.

AMAZING TRIP…. Tour Manager John the absolutely the BEST. It was an experience of a lifetime. It is hard to put into words or explain the wonders of each country. Book this trip and you won’t be disappointed. It far exceeded my expectations. The smaller group size for travel was a bonus. The hotel accommodations were excellent. The way John (tour manager) explained and provided all the necessary information each day was so helpful. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat .
