This was a most amazing and unforgettable experience which for some of the group will probably be life changing. We were fortunate to be in a friendly, supportive and cohesive group which was led by the wonderful Wit. Wit was the catalyst to the group bonding so well but he was more than just a guide and leader. He organised our tour seamlessly and supported every member of the group when required over and above what could be expected. We were so privileged to know him and to have him as our guide and mentor. The tour is stated to be "full on" and it certainly matches that description so don't expect a restful holiday but be prepared to be on the move with early starts and time spent in a minibus which was necessary to complete such an intensive itinerary. If asked to chose a highlight I wouldn't be able to as there were so many highlights throughout the tour. I have so many great memories and been very fortunate to be included in such a fine group but also to be blessed with Wit as our very special leader.

Our Vietnamese guide, Binh, was assisted by two Cambodian guides, one in Phenom Penh and one who was with us for the rest of the Cambodian trip. All were knowledgeable and passionate about their countries and attentive to us and our safety and to ensuring that we had a memorable experience. Binh, in particular, was was experienced and patient by repeating all the essential details that we needed to know. An excellent trip overall !

The communication with Lana was exceptional, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience throughout our journey in Vietnam and Bali. The local guides were helpful and humorous, and introduced good places for our free time. Our visit to Halong was undoubtedly a highlight, beautiful and unique. We will definitely go with this tour company to more places.

This was an excellent trip to Thailand! All of the details were arranged! The tour guides were knowledge locals. It was nice not having to arrange any of the drivers. The hotels were all nice, clean, and comfortable. The tours were well chosen and all of the locations were excellent! I highly recommend and I would go again!

It's my 3rd tour with explore!, and I've enjoyed it very much.
The itinerary was good, and our guide - Diem - was excellent, with a lot of knowledge and good spirit.

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.

A wonderful trip which just got better by the day.
The pace was great, sometimes demanding but with sufficient downtime to chill, and encounters with locals so enriching.
Not only did the outstanding natural beauty of the Indonesian Islands make this trip magical, but also our amazing leader Hadi who, simply by his presence, meant that we could rely, relax and enjoy.
I loved the trip.
