An amazing adventure through Laos and Cambodia. Expert, friendly and knowledgeable guides make each adventure memorable. Seamless organisation with everything running smoothly. I would highly recommend this to everyone!
This trip is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the history, cuisine and the way of life in the capital cities of Ho Chi Minh, Phnom Penh and Bangkok. The itinerary also allows you to see how people live, work and socialise in rural areas which is what makes this trip so fascinating. During my 14 day visit I was able to learn more about the Vietnam war, the way of life in the Mekong Delta, the actions of the Khmer Rouge (the toughest part of the trip in my opinion) and the history of Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom.
The itinerary also allowed our group some relaxing downtime which involved sunbathing, snorkelling and fishing off Bamboo Island (near to the resort of Sihanoukville, Cambodia).
This trip does involve 2 fairly long trips by bus to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap although we were given a number of comfort breaks which included a stop at Skuon and a chance to hold a live tarantula and sample a fried spider!!
Beautiful and well-planned holiday with activities that both parents and children enjoyed. The tour guide was excellent with the children; he went above and above to give us detailed information about his home country, his family, what it's like to grow up there. We felt so welcomed there.
An interesting and actvie tour of vietnam. The guide was informative and funny, and the vietnamese people warm and friendly. A great country, and a great way to see it!
This trek offers travellers an unparalleled insight into the rich biodiversity, cultures and customs of Thailand's northern hinterlands. Join us on this remarkable adventure exploring the pristine forests of Thailand's northern hinterlands near the border with Myanmar. Reviving an ancient trade route, the program offers travellers an unparalleled insight into the region's rich biodiversity, cultures and customs. Our journey starts from Khun Khan National Park with its lush jungles and unspoilt forests along the little known Old Elephant Trail. This trek offers travellers an unparalleled insight into the rich biodiversity, cultures and customs of Thailand's northern hinterlands but with the construction of a road in the 1950s, the trail was abandoned. After years of solitude, the trail is now the perfect route for adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. Traversing over ridgelines and through forest covered hills and mist-enveloped mountains, travellers will trek through some of Thailand's most remote natural areas and be rewarded with sweeping panoramas of lush forests and wildlife-spotting opportunities in the mountains. Evenings on the trek are spent amongst the locals providing an opportunity to learn about traditional culture and a life style unchanged for generations.
An amazing, fantastic fun filled holiday that I will never forget. So many memories made and experiences had. Son made that possible! I will definitely look at other Glux trips in the future.
This tour met all of our expectations! All of our requirements, from the destinations to the services, hotel arrangements, and guides, were perfectly taken care of. Evelyn was our lovely travel consultant and provided us with helpful details, tips, and kept the communication line open throughout our trip. It was really nice to have the chance to meet her in Hanoi, and thank you for the thoughtful gift. Highly recommend.
This is an excellent itinerary for first-time travelers to Vietnam. Initially, I assumed that the itinerary was too tight and that we would not have enough time to adequately explore all of the locations we visited, but this was not the case. We were overjoyed and pleased with everything we saw, ate, drunk, and relaxed while on this trip:) Sapa was especially peaceful. Hoi An was highly suggested as a place to stay as well as a city to buy souvenirs and eat/drink.
Experience both the bustle of Hanoi and the gentle lifestyle of northern Vietnam’s hill tribe communities on this nine-day Premium hiking adventure through Vietnam. Hike with a knowledgeable local leader through valleys, tea plantations, limestone peaks and verdant rice terraces in Nam Ti and Hoang Su Phi, and capture the panoramic views from Horse Shoe Viewpoint and Raspberry Hill. Spend the night at two Feature Stays, including the Garrya Mu Cang Chai Eco Lodge, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rice terraces, learn about northern Vietnam’s rural village culture in La Pan Tan and Tu Le, and enjoy Vietnam’s local cuisine with a traditional barbecue in Sapa and a Michelin-starred restaurant in Hanoi.
This adventure/ecological tour will take you to the most unique and beautiful landscapes around Hue City where you can enjoy a day trekking away from the crowds in beautiful Bach Ma National Park.
A mountainous area not far from the coast, Bach Ma not only has atmospheric jungle and interesting flora & fauna but also spectacular views over the beautiful coastal beaches and lagoons. It is a hill-station founded by the French during the colonial period in the early 1930’s and it is not on the popular tourist route so you are likely to enjoy this natural wonder away from the crowds.
Our local guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Hue City and bring you to Bach Ma National Park, the mountainous area located about 45km from the city centre and 1.45m above sea level. Upon arrival, you will visit Bach Ma's information centre to learn about the ecological system of the Park.
Trek along the trails through the forest to Do Quyen, the Rhododendron waterfalls at a height of 300 meters. Continue to Ngu Ho (Five Lakes), where you can relax and enjoy a swim in the jungle. A picnic lunch will be served.
Later, head to the summit for the beautiful views. At the end of the tour, you will be driven back to your hotel.
