The itinerary was nicely balanced. It included the main sights in the places visited along with down time to rest and refresh. If keeping busy was more to your liking, there were many excellent optional tours.
The coach was comfortable and kept clean.
Loved the hotels. The Galleria 10 in Bangkok was in an excellent location, within walking distance to restaurants, convenience stores, and the sky train. Their 2 for 1 daily Happy Hour was a nice way to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Thoroughly enjoyed the other hotels which also offered pools for relaxation - in Kanchanaburi, Sukhothai, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. The hotel in Kanchanaburi was within walking distance of the famous Bridge over the river Kwai which was a bonus. The hotel in Chiang Rai was within walking distance to additonal sights not included in the tour as well as to excellent restaurants. All the hotels offered a good selection of options for daily breakfast as well as for the included dinners.

A well designed itinerary made for a good introduction to Indochina. The biggest problem was never having quite enough time everywhere to do everything you wanted.

"Awesome time in Vietnam went with my 2 adult children and husbandLucy did a great job of creating a fun experience that was exactly
what I was looking for . Only had one hiccup with communication but overall the places we stayed were amazing and fun
Asia is a little gritty – it is a more challenging vacation than Europe for sure – so you will need help with transfers and getting around .
English is not as expected and a lot of people do not speak it ( Europe English is a second language. Here it is not so) due to communist infrastructure
People were super nice tho and
Really loved Hanoi / Mekong delta / Hoi An
It was very different than any other places you may have gone
Highly recommend Lucy and This Tour operator"

Wonderful tour of Thailand. Really well organised and a great way to experience some of the huge variety and beauty of the culture, nature and stunning landscapes of this incredible country. Our guide Mai worked really hard to make sure we had all that we needed, and her insights, attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel really looked after. It was an awesome holiday.

Vietnam was an amazing and varied place and Explores itinerary managed to pack in a huge variety of scenery, activities and education including places and people I wouldn't have managed to find alone. Long's leadership was brilliant keeping the teenagers engaged and encouraged to try new experiences and food.
Wonderful trip organized by this tour operator. Guides who listen to your needs. Nice hotels. Journey according to our requests. Transportation on time. Highly recommended.

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.
