Great mix of scheduled activities and personal time. Superb itinerary and our travel directors, Thom in Vietnam/Tara in Cambodia were top notch! Cozy accommodations and excellent food. Loved this trip!
Surprisingly surprise. I took a Vietnam tour with this company before, and this time I chose an itinerary starting from Thailand. I have to say the quality remains just as excellent! We were concerned that my husband wouldn't have enough activity, but that wasn't the case at all. We were able to visit local villages, and go for walks or short hikes daily. It was wonderful.

I can’t imagine navigating Vietnam without Diem. The trip was incredibly organized.. starting with Diem meeting us at the airport, to the lovely hotels, flights, transportation reservations, etc. We also appreciated the tips on local cuisine shopping and sightseeing. I highly recommend the upgrade if you can afford it. We hope more upgraded Explorer trips become available.

Great taste of Thailand! Still managed to cover a lot of interesting places. Sek was an absolute legend, super organised and knowledgeable and made the entire experience an absolute breeze.
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.
