Carlene M. | Traveled in April
Brian was an excellent travel advisor. He helped us plan this fantastic 14-day trip and was always available to assist us while we were on it. We had no complaints, the experience was full of interesting sights and beautiful locations. I highly recommend this trip and Brian's services - 10/10!
Andrew L. | Traveled in April
Excellent 16 day tour. Guide for the Vietnam part of the tour () was absolutely superb. He went the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible time. Expert guide at Angkor Way was also superb as was our Cambodia Tour Director.
Miggie R. | Traveled in March
Everything went according to plan. Vietnam and Cambodia were beautiful and interesting. All the services were high quality, and the team took excellent care of us. I highly recommend it!
Anonymous | Traveled in March
A very enjoyable trip highlighting a few places/aspects of each country. If you do not have more time, this is a great intro to both Vietnam and Cambodia. Well organised, varied - in spite of limited time, we felt, we've seen a lot. The activity level was low as described, the pace was a bit more than expected, requiring early rises on many occasions, but this enabled us to see as much as possible, which we wanted and appreciated. Accomodation was of a slightly lower standard than expected (by reading travel notes), but overall it was OK. Plus if this is your first time in the country, it is hard to know what the norm is.
Richie | Traveled in March
A well balanced, fascinating trip. An excellent tour leader, Try,, who went above and beyond on several occasions. There was lots of variety. Whilst not a negative comment, I suggest that the sunrise boat trip on the Piphot River could be shortened - the boats are uncomfortable, and there is an insufficient variety of things to see to justify the five hour round trip.
Anonymous | Traveled in March
Quite full-on, you need to be active but a few “rest” days too. Our guide, Try, was available 24/7 and full of information and advice and a great sense of humour. He took great care of us. Also enjoyed, Borin, our guide for Angkor Wat.
