Experience Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam through the eyes of locals, as your tour leaders gives you a first-hand insight into the colourful and diverse tapestry that makes up their homeland. Wandering around the amazing Angkor complex in Cambodia gives travellers an awareness of these important and yet fragile cultural relics and the importance of them being preserved and protected, so that they can be experienced and appreciated by future generations.
The concept of tourism in Vietnam and Cambodia, in particular, is fairly recent when compared to other countries in Asia and to support programs there, this operator is training their tour leaders on a variety of issues, from environmental awareness to First Aid. This not only assists in the conduct of a tour but also provides leaders with important life skills. By only employing tour leaders born and bred in the regions they visit, they are supporting local economies. Through offering employment and steady revenue, tourism can ultimately make a real positive difference to local communities. They are also involved in assisting a number of community projects in Vietnam aimed at bettering the standard of living for many of the local people. One of these causes is the Loreto Vietnam-Australia Project, based in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), which provides shelter for street kids and has also established a school for the blind.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
