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

Moira and Charlie would like to thank Explore and especially Bac, our tour guide for an amazing food and history tour of Vietnam. This tour has far exceeded our expectations. All of the accommodations were very nice and comfortable, especially the beautiful homestay and the very kind family. The transportation and drivers were excellent. We would especially like to thank Bac for everything he did for us. He is a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide. He went above and beyond the duties and responsibilities of a tour guide to make this trip so special and enjoyable for us. He was always courteous, helpful and friendly. His knowledge, experience and professionalism exceeded any tour guide we have had with any tour company. He was able to answer all questions asked to him and explained in detail so much about Vietnam history, its people, food and culture.

What made this trip really special was how different each day felt. One day we were walking through old temples, the next we were sailing on a quiet bay. Vietnam was full of surprises. The people were friendly, the food was amazing, and every place had something new to offer. Ha Long Bay was a real highlight. The boat ride through those tall limestone rocks felt peaceful and looked like something from a movie. Even the meals on the boat were great!
I also liked how we didn’t just rush from place to place. There was time to look around, take pictures, and enjoy it all. Hoi An was beautiful with all the lanterns, and Hue had some really interesting history. Our guide explained everything in a simple and fun way, which made it more enjoyable.
Then we went to Singapore, and it felt like getting into the future. It was super clean and modern, but still full of culture. The Gardens by the Bay were stunning, especially at night. Everything on this tour ran butter smooth, the flights, the hotels, the transport. It was easy to relax and enjoy. Already thinking of booking a Korea tour. Really impressed by how they manage things!
