Most memorable was trekking in Chang Mai, without a doubt. The itinerary was amazing and we'll never forget the bamboo rafts being made right in front of us, the elephant trek and the hospitality of the hill tribes.
(more)The highlight was swimming through a cave under a mountain and emerging on a beautiful tropical beach inside the crater! Hard to believe, I know, but true. (more)I enjoyed so many things about my holiday, I had a truly fantastic time but if I had to choose I would say the hill-tribe trek, that was a great experience for many reasons, I especially loved seeing the tribes & the breath-taking landscape it was unbelievable I thought, a special experience. (more)It was an excellent holiday one of our best holidays. The local guide was lovely, he tried to teach us an elephant song! (more)
The whole experience was far better than any expectations I had, from the temples of Angkor to the markets, the local cuisine, the activities, this trip was just one memorable experience after another...I can’t wait to book my next trip! (more)The temples in Angkor Wat / Siem Reap were incredible. The roads in Cambodia were pretty memorable as well [though for a completely different reason!]. (more)Many memorable and exciting experiences: The awesome caves, the jungle trekking in Sangklaburi, canoeing down the river Kwai for 3 hours. (more)The most memorable part of this holiday were the great guides. Both Wi and Aor were great company and very knowledgeable. (more)The most memorable occasion was the meal prepared for us by the family in the house on stilts and the chance to try the local delicacy (afterwards), fried tarantula. (more)The most memorable part of the holiday was the first village stay on the hill tribe trek - we were the first group to stay in this village, and the kids were so excited to see us that I think we became a free babysitting service to the whole village for the entire night!
(more)What we liked the most was the variation in the program - culture - nature - sports (could have been little bit more) - homestay - and definitely NOT to forget the Thai cooking!!...It was an unforgettable adventure! And our local guide did her utmost to make all comfortable for everybody!! Good job!! (more)
Most memorable were Angkor Wat and the other temples around Siem Reap. Home Stay near Vinh Long. (more)
Excellent - thank you very much. All provisions and services were provided by locals and the relationship the guide had with them was obviously due to good relationships in place.

The whole trip was memorable, but I particularly enjoyed the 4 days we spent in Luang Prabang. At a relaxed pace we visited ancient buddhist temples, watched the early morning ritual of alms giving, conversed with the monks, met the locals at the markets... (more)Snorkelling for the first time in Nha Trang (and second time in Ko Phi Phi!) was fantastic, jungle trekking in both Thailand and Malaysia was awesome...Outstanding - varied, educational and stacks of fun. (more)I enjoyed the homestay the most as I felt like we got to understand a little bit about the people and managed to keep fit with the kids :) (more)
The train Journey from Bangkok, the days on the Mekong and the guided tour of Bangkok were the highlights. (more)
The most memorable parts of our trip must be the crazy cyclo tour through the streets of Saigon and eating insects in a bar overlooking Phnom Penh! (more)
We've decided that there were higher points, like elephants, tuc-tucs and boat trips but that the whole thing merged into one great experience. (more)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!
