Absolutely wonderful trip, brilliantly planned and organised by Explore. Full on but not rushed, a lot of ground covered excellent introduction to this wonderful country and its people. Great variation of mode of transport - best suited to the experience and always ready and waiting for us - local long boats, 4 wheel drives, minibus, plane and train to access special places in Laos too numerous to list here. Very good hotels always, some truly fabulous…loved it!!

Vietnam with intro was such an incredible experience thanks to our fantastic leader Michelle! Honourable mention to Jas and Tim as leaders-in-training who will be amazing. The whole trip was so enjoyable and engaging, and I genuinely cant remember the last time I had that much fun. Michelle was amazing in any scenario thrown her way, and nothing was ever too big of an issue to solve! I consistently felt so safe and reassured with the team. From cultural experiences of war tunnels and walking tours to incredible boat rides and fun nights out this has been one of the best holidays of my life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone solo travelling because you will meet such amazing people along the way. I wish I could do it all over again!

For anyone considering this tour, my advice is "just do it". From the cheerful employee who met us at the Hanoi airport and delivered us to our first hotel, to our fabulous tour guide Diem, the wonderful drivers, the fantastic accommodation, the incredible breakfasts, we couldn't have asked for a better trip. Diem was an outstanding guide, we could not have asked for someone more knowledgeable, more patient, more helpful or more kind. He had our days organized to the minute. This man is an amazing person and can take credit for our wonderful tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. Our days were much fuller than expected and we appreciated how much was crammed into each day. We saw and experienced a lot more than we thought we would.
My advice to anyone taking this trip and thinking about flying back to Vietnam after Cambodia, check to make sure you have a Multiple Entry Visa. We made a mistake on this checkbox and were denied onto our flight of out Siem Raeap. As it was the Lunar New Year and the offices were closed it looked as though we were going to be kept in Cambodia another five days but with Diems help and help from a few others, we were able to fly out the next day. He saved us . Don't make that mistake! It's this type of tour guide that makes tours the way to go. If we had done the trip on our own, it would not have turned out so well.

Did a 10-day Vietnam tour and overall it was well-organized and enjoyable. In Hanoi, we visited a tea farm in Ba Vi — peaceful, with a great local host who shared stories from the war. The foot soak at the end was a nice touch.
The Ha Long Bay cruise was scenic and relaxing, with good food and kayaking. Hoi An was my favorite stop — charming Old Town, fun basket boat ride, and some downtime to explore or get clothes tailored. Loved the lantern-lit streets at night.
In Ho Chi Minh, we explored the Cu Chi Tunnels and took a busy but interesting day trip to the Mekong Delta. Accommodations were all decent 3-star hotels, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
The team did a solid job. Good value for the price, and I’d travel with them again.

Visiting Laos was everything I had expected. Vivid nature, voluptuous landscapes and a vibrant, hardworking culture.
The Highlights of Laos tour with Explore showcased each place perfectly with plenty of things to see and do plus plenty of free time to explore each place.
I definitely recommend this tour & I look forward to travelling with Explore again.

My friend introduced me to this tour operator. After speaking with Kiara, we had a suitable itinerary. Our mission was straightforward: book a round-way ticket to Vietnam and enjoy the trip. They coordinated really efficiently and provided competent services. There are no mistakes on the tour, which I enjoyed. All of the hotels were in central locations, making it easy for us to walk about or find local restaurants. The daily trips were scheduled on time, and transportation was comfortable. We traveled from the north to the south of Vietnam. Visiting many famous and beautiful sights, including Hanoi, Halong Bay, Pu Luong, the Golden Bridge, Ho Chi Minh, and the Mekong Delta. This was indeed a fantastic tour.

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.

The hotels were amazing but the trip was so full on there was no time to appreciate them. Also 18 Wats in 3 days was too much. Tour Guide very knowledgeable and fun. Really enjoyed it all but I think it could have been broken up a bit better, not so many long days and a break from WATs. I would recommend

Very good trip. In Siam Riep, it would have been good to have some free time and maybe some trips other than to temples (e.g. land mine rats). Otherwise, a very good trip overall.
