My wife and I recently returned from an incredible trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. Excellently planned tour. All went smoothly, and we had terrific days. We loved that we saw a little bit of every country and its major highlights, but it wasn't rushing from place to place, we had plenty of free time and visited some places which are not for mass tourism. Esther did an excellent job in planning and coordinating all local guides, flights, and tours. It went perfectly. Many thanks to the travel specialist
My husband and I did this holiday in November 2015 so it has taken me a little while to write this review ! Although I cycle regularly since taking early retirement and he is a very fit cyclist I was anxious about the cycling content. However to reassure anyone who is worried, there is brilliant support and at any stage you can hop in the support bus for a rest as each days cycle is broken up into segments of 15 to 20 km etc . I wanted to see Vietnam and Cambodia and he wanted a cycling holiday and so this was the compromise and it was totally brilliant. There was about 17 in our group, and I immediately found out that most were much better cyclists than me. For the first couple of days in Thailand I found it quite taxing as the cycles were long , but the snacks after each stage more than made up for it when you re-energised and rehydrated.The feeling of achievement at the end of each day was amazing. The sights were fantastic. I thought the Thailand section not as inspiring as Cambodia and Vietnam but it was all part of the experience having never been to any of these countries before. The accommodation was pretty good in most of the places we stayed. The night in the traditional Mekon delta guesthouse was absolutely fine although not perhaps my trip highlight although I understand how it would be with others as the holiday info suggested. You even had a shower and ensuite in the guesthouse rooms although the walls were literally paper thin and the setting was beautiful. The various ferry and border crossings we did on our bikes were an adventure in themselves. All in all an awesome holiday
I’ve just finished the Thailand Intro 18 day tour and it was incredible! I had Sophie Duncan as my group leader and she could not have been more lovely. She was always there for anybody who needed it, she made sure everyone was involved and she made me feel very safe. She deserves more than 5 stars!
