Our first visit to Thailand and this tour was a wonderful introduction! We had an outstanding, very experienced tour leader in Worasak Paiboon (Pok) - he was one of the best (we have taken many trips with Explore). A great group which worked well. The start of the tour was rather full-on with the overnight rail journey - but well worth it. Hard to pick a highlight, but the Elephant Sanctuary stands out, as well as the homestay and raft hotel. Thoroughly recommend!

It was amazing no better way to spend my birthday, everything was good. Saw and did a lot, wouldn’t have minded a bit more free time to let people decide what they wanted to do.
Our Vietnam tour was thoroughly enjoyable—the food was incredible, and the scenery absolutely stunning. What made the experience even more seamless was our tour manager, who responded promptly to every request and went above and beyond to ensure we reached each destination smoothly. Much appreciated.

First of all, shout out to Doan the tour leader. Passion for his country was contagious, he had us all transfixed with his stories and guides through history, food and culture.
The whole team was fantastic, making us feel welcome. They gave us space so we felt like we were exploring and adventuring, but if we needed them (puncture etc) suddenly they would appear.
Very happy with the tour. Cycling through amazing landscapes, remote villages and vibrant cities. Variation of light cycling, more challenging and chill out days (Beach and City).
Pace of cycling was adapted to our fitness. This tour will work whether you are a leisure cyclist or someone looking for some challenge.
Now we have done a cycle tour with Explore, its difficult to consider doing anything else. Cycling adds to the sense of adventure and gives a connection to the country you don't get otherwise. Explore put together an itinerary and ran the tour faultlessly.
To add, I was surprised by the quality of Hotel. Better than I expected.

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.

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

This trip exceeded our expectations with its well-balanced itinerary—an amazing mix of cultural landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, and relaxing beach time. The tour guides were insightful and made each stop even more memorable, especially during the Sapa trek. A special thanks to Long Pham, who helped coordinate everything so seamlessly. He kept track of our journey, ensured we were well taken care of, and made sure we had all the support we needed throughout the trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone planning to explore Asia!
