It is almost impossible to give highlights for the trip because there were so many. Jordan is a great country, it felt very safe and people were friendly (without hassling in marketplaces etc.). Petra and Jerash are stunning, as was Wadi Rum. Our guide Zuhair was very pleasant and knowledgeable about all the places we visited. It would have been nice if he had perhaps joined in a bit more with the group though.

Our tour guide on the Vietnam section was Jackie Lee. Jackie was an excellent guide, always readily available to provide full support throughout the trip. Nothing was too much trouble. Jackie's enthusiasm and passion for his country and his role as a tour guide was clear. We visited many excellent restaurants on his advice and he added more fun with his personality to what was a very enjoyable tour. The itinerary was interesting and varied, we would definitely recommend. On the Cambodia section of the tour Sitha was our guide. His knowledge of the country and passion for his subject was fantastic and again he was supportive during the tour. In regard to the itinerary it started off more varied but the last 3 days we packed in 18 Temples which we felt was too many to fully appreciate the experience. Nevertheless we had a great time experiencing the Cambodian culture and would recommend the tour.

All round a good trip, a good introduction to a country I didn't know much about.
Using the train to get to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang is a smoother and faster way to get to places than going by road, but you are not allowed to take anything which could be considered as a weapon (as in hand luggage on a plane), even in your luggage - it will screened and items confiscated.
Fortunately the guide was able to get things taken from group members taken to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang by road.
I would recommend this trip if you are interested in visiting south east Asia.

I had an amazing wonderful experience visiting Bhutan with this company over the past week. From the start to the end of the trip, I was very well taken care of by Tsenrig (owner), Kar Chung (guide) & Leki (driver). My itinerary was adapted to my likings (nature, local cultural experience & food) and Maebar delivered well!
Key highlights of the trip include: leisurely walks across the pine forests at Phobjikha Valley & rustic authentic villages, a challenging hike to Tiger's Nest at 4000m high, a unique local hot stone bath & cuisine dinner in a village home, immersing myself in ancient architectures & monastery way of life at Punakha and Rinpung Dzongs hundreds of years old etc.
All hotel lodgings arranged were very comfortable, clean & spacious. The all inclusive food was a good mix of familiar international cuisine, as well as additional local Bhutanese food.
I leave Bhutan with fond memories and appreciation of its unique & rich heritage. Many thanks to Tsenrig, Kar Chung and Leki for a wonderful trip!

Had a great time on this quick trip through Japan. Our tour leader, David Lam, consistently went out of his way to help us experience things in addition to the published itinerary. He was great to be around, clearly wanted everyone to enjoy the trip and always had everything in hand.

This holiday was rated “full on” and it was. Not a moment was wasted! Tashkent, Khiva, Bukara and Samarkand were all amazing. Staying in a Madrasa and in a Yurt added to the authenticity and we took the extra trip to the desert castles which was well worth it. Also the silk paper making centre was interesting. Uzbekistan is a welcoming country - very clean with no litter and we were impressed with the flowers planted along grass verges for miles.

Excellent tour especially for the price. I've never felt so welcome, Sri Lankans are one of the friendliest people! Very good mix of activities too and while it is a shorter tour it packs so much.
