The National Geographic Discover Southeast Asia tour was excellent due to an outstanding CEO, a well thought out itinerary, seamless and comfortable transportation and a variety of activities highlighting the food, culture and history of the four countries. I recommend it highly.

This trip was a real eye opener into a very different way of life. It was very educational. We enjoyed the perspective of the local people when it came to past issues i.e, the war in Vietnam, the genocide in Cambodia. The group size was wonderful and we got to know each other very well.
