I spent a couple of days myself in Bangkok and found that wonderful, not sure why no city activities are included, but those days definitely added to my view of Thailand. Also not sure why we didn't go to chiang mai but overall it provided a lovely contrast of history and current cultural and spiritual customs. And the scenery is beautiful

The trek in the Fann Mountains was a stand out. I would do it again despite it pushing me to my limits at times. It was like stepping into a fantasy novel- the colours, the remoteness and to my eyes the strangeness as well as the mountainous glories. The guides, cooks, porters were very supportive and I felt safe at all times. The food was excellent- even though everyone managed to get sour stomachs- it was maybe the strangeness factor. Cultural visits also well curated.

Great experience! We saw wonderful parts of Japan, including Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Hiroshima. The hotels were wonderful! Our travel director was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My advice to Trafalgar is to reduce the number of visits to temples and shrines. Maybe allow more free time. Also, there were too many set Japanese meals with no options.

What a fabulous adventure!!
Quang was our tour leader and he was so knowledgeable. We could not have been in better hands.. He took such great care of us and was able to problem solve any challenges. The rest of the staff in Vietnam was fantastic. Our mechanic Sun was so great also! He kept our bikes in tiptop shape and was able to improvise when required. He kept everyone very safe. We felt very well cared for and were provided with enough adventure and challenge to keep us all happy. We saw everything did everything and tried everything we possibly could’ve during that time. What an epic journey! We celebrated my birthday while we were away, and we had a special dinner and a cake to top it all off! Really couldn’t have changed much on the trip to make it better. Thank you so much. It was fantastic! It’s my second trip with Explorer and I’m looking forward to my third!

Stunning start in Singapore - Su the local guide was brilliant. She was very informative and engaging. She had spare travel cards we could use if we weren't able to use bankcards on public transport. Wasn't expecting to love Singapore as much as I did. Enough free time to go on a boat trip and visit the amazing Gardens By the Bay and use Su's travel card. Hotel was good too location and I arrived very early and they were able to get me checked me early.
Malaysia was good too but more full on. Melaka was fun, Kuala Lumpur again I enjoyed much more than I was expecting. Location of the hotel was great. Ipoh interesting. The Homestay was very good - not tempted to swim in the lake and the only time we had rain but very atmospheric. Cameron Highlands and Mossy Forest and Tea Plantation very interesting. The two local guides/drivers were again excellent. Penang and the temple visit were highlights. After the trip I had another couple of nights in Penang and discovered the free bus that runs round Georgetown every 15 minutes - this would have been good to know about as I did a lot of walking in Penang. Hotel a bit far out. Langkawi was a good end to the trip. Very relaxing and again lots of walking as a resort hotel on the beach which was comfortable though on the outskirts of the town. Bizarrely there was a lovely infinity pool BUT even as guests you had to pay to use it!
Lovely fun group of 9 and so many guides, all good. Andrew the tour leader, Sam, our Malaysian guide and Hasli who normally guides in Borneo. Could be my next trip!

This was an excellent trip to Thailand! All of the details were arranged! The tour guides were knowledge locals. It was nice not having to arrange any of the drivers. The hotels were all nice, clean, and comfortable. The tours were well chosen and all of the locations were excellent! I highly recommend and I would go again!

The trip was great, couldn't ask for a better tour. Cherry Blossom season is the time to go as the scenery is just beautiful. The Japanese people are as friendly as you could want. Jamie and Kanako made a great team that worked very well together to make sure we had such a good time. This trip will go back on my list of trips I want to do in next few years because I liked it so much.

This was an outstanding experience and we greatly enjoyed our time in Vietnam with Rocky as our guide. We'd recommend this tour to our friends and family.
