Discovering a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring tour company can be challenging, especially when time is limited. Luckily, my husband and I were incredibly fortunate to find this amazing tour company. With her assistance, we planned our itinerary, expedited our visa, made last-minute changes, and still experienced the wonders of northern Vietnam in a safe, memorable, and truly wonderful way.
The team was exceptional in handling all the details with flexibility, patience, positivity, and proactive care. Their professionalism and kind-hearted nature made a significant difference in our journey.
A big thank you to out tour expert and her associate for their outstanding care and ensuring an awesome and amazing Vietnam adventure!
I highly recommend this tour company for all your Vietnam tours.

I enjoyed every moment of the trip.
The daily itinerary was very varied and well lead by our guide Tra and his assistant guides in Laos.
The hotel's were well chosen and conveniently situated for independent sightseeing.
I thoroughly enjoyed the included farewell meal, the best vegetarian food all trip!

We have just come back from 2 incredible weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia, all arranged by the travel company. We had an incredibly
memorable holiday and can’t thank Chloe enough for arranging such an interesting trip and also organising everything so perfectly. Our guides
were all fantastic. We learnt so much more about how incredible Vietnam is
thanks to all the information and personal experiences they shared. Our travel expert booked us into some lovely hotels and all of our transport
arrangements worked perfectly. Highly recommended

Fantastic first trip with Explore! We loved every moment - lots packed into the 2 weeks including culture, food, drinks and cycling!
The tour leader Hoan was brilliant- he managed the group really well, and couldn't have been any more accommodating to the group. The cycling distances each day allowed us to explore enough without feeling too much, especially in the heat. The pace was steady and no one was left behind.
All of the accommodation was spot on in terms of location, cleanliness and staff. The Bangkok hotel was a tad dated and would be my only change of the holiday.
Cannot wait to book my next trip with Explore!

Excellent tour, excellent tour leader. My only criticisms are that the tour was 1 or 2 temples too many and that the leader gave too many statistics and tended to repeat himself in his obvious enthusiasm

Excellent tour. This was my first solo tour and I was a little nervous. Our guide Joseph was with us all the way from start to finish. A well thought out tour with enough activity and space in between to relax. The hotels exceeded my expectations, they were incredible. My only slight gripe was that some of the places we were taken to, in my opinion, were a bit of a tourist trap. That said, members in our group bought things so it supported the local economy. Joseph also supported and assisted with any extras that we wanted to do. Loved it!

The guide was really knowledgeable and was able to tell us about the history of all the places we visited. The itinerary was good and we were able to see many sights and places that we would not normally see if we had booked on our own. The bus was also super comfortable and the driver was helpful and excellent on the road. The hotels that we stayed in were 4 stars and I would highly recommend this tour

The leader makes the tour and Tien is the Very Best ! Her professional years of experience and knowledge really shine through. You are part of her family and she will do what it takes to make your tour the most rewarding it can be for you. Any special needs you might have, she's there to make it happen. The experiences were varied and interesting from junk boat cruise to an hour tour in a rickshaw. The local guides and drivers did their jobs well as professionals. Siem Reap was very hot and some of the members were not really prepared for it. But water was always available on the bus so everyone could keep hydrated. I enjoyed the temple sunset and especially the optional sunrise at Angkor Wat. This is my first tour in more than 30 years and my first with Explore. I enjoyed it greatly and I've made some new life long friends. I'm looking forward to my next tour and the high standard that this one has set.

Champion totally made this trip! He was simple amazing. We had a few changes and he worked so hard to make it work for everyone, which I think had to be hard with so many personalities.
All the explorer trips were great. But would look at a couple of the add ons- the cooking class with Mr Chickn- though it did work out in the end, I think it was new to them as not quite organized and a little hard with the translation- but with time I think it would be great. The 7 isle tour on the speed boat was absolutely terrible- very crowded, unsafe, and food was terrible- like raw chicken terrible. Champion was with us and tried a hard to help us all though and so appreciate his effort. The photo plankin swim was amazing too - but kinda the only thing that was
Again champion totally made up for all the downs - and nothing is perfect- just suggestions. Thank you champion!!! 🙏
