Good itinerary
02/16/2024
The tour exceeded all expectations, it was great to see interesting places off the beaten track, nice group and not too many people. Kulipuy was our main guide who was absolutely fantastic, she knew everything, was incredibly thoughtful (little gestures to celebrate peoples birthdays for example) and super helpful for ideas on our free days. We liked the aspect of the local guides too, in order to get to know each area in more detail.

The tour was well priced. Our CEO was excellent. The group size was bigger than expected and other participants were often not cooperative with the tour.

Ease of not having to book own accommodations and travel

Tong, our CEO, was an incredible tour guide, he was invaluable when navigating boarder crossings and shared with us incredible stories of each country - past, present and future.
03/05/2024
it's a very simple answer. Our CEO Tong was just outstanding. The trip in itself was fantastic and gave you a real experience of the country. However Tong just blew us out of the water with his knowledge, service, kindness and 24/7 availability. We didn't realise a tour guide could make the trip but he did. His stories, information and experiences brought each destination to life and I would book again just to have him walk us through one more time.

I had a great time and our Guide Huy was the best.
