This is not intended to be a review; just misc additional feedback. Don't use Viet Jet. It was terrible. Loved Navutu Lodge. Didn't like the alley restaruant in Vietnam. Need more time in Angkor Wat. Tourgude should automatically put a WhatsApp group together and publish daily meeting time on it.

I loved my tour of South East Asia. The group leaders were fabulous-knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating and fun. The activities were amazing. The accommodations ranged from good to exceptional. The food was great. The leaders made sure free time was just as special as the rest of the trip. . I highly recommend this tour
