Budget Tours & Trips to South East Asia Reviews
- Southeast Asia Discovery: Seasides and Street Food
An unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Sit was the best tour guide and the smaller group meant we made some life long friends. Thank you Sit and G Adventures!
- Best of Indochina in 21 Days
Positive Points: 1. The sites/activities elected for the visits very good 2. Local guides were excellent 3. Timely and efficient hotel/airport transfers 4.All lodging was clean and comfortable 5. Ease of contacting operator to assist with questions/problems Negatives: 1. Notice given to us as to the program for the upcoming day and/or flights came to us last minute at several points in our tour leaving us unsure as to what to do and requiring our reaching out to operator for assistance. We should not have had to do so. 2. Two hotel locations were not suitable. (A) In Ho Chi Minh City we were dropped off from the airport along a main street and told that our hotel (Prague) was "down there" We walked along a crowded, noisy, roughly paved side street to find the hotel with no assistance. Area was noisy and staff would not honor our request for a room change to quieter location until operator intervened. (B) In Luang Prabang, the hotel was well removed from interesting part of town. It was not within walking distance of anything of interest. Given that operator left us with 2 free days at tour's end, we decided to leave the hotel and book a suitable place by ourselves nearer points of interest. Neither of the hotels had good reviews. We were extremely disappointed in the operator's selection of those places for out tour. 3. For unknown reasons to us, our tour itinerary was changed. We did not expect to have to unescorted days at the end of our tour in Laos. We left home assuming we would be flying to Siem Reap on day 15 (Dec 13). Instead we got notice that our flight would be on Dec 11 and that we would be on our own for the last two days of our tour (Dec 17 and 18). Still a mystery to us and we wonder what we missed as a result. Suggestions: 1. Do not use Vietjet. We booked our arrival to Vietnam with them and they bumped us with alternative flight for 2 days after our Indochina Tour was to begin. Later, our flight to Ho Chi Minh was delayed many hours with no communication for Vietjet as to when it would be leaving. Vietnam air, I think, would be a much better option. 2. We suggest 2 nights in Sapa. To spend 6 hours traveling each way for 1 overnight is too much. The walks we did there were very nice, but we had no time to enjoy the town or engage in some other activity in that area.
- Splendid of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand 18 Days
I don't know how they work but every day and every activity were put so harmonized. I stayed in 3-star hotel but it's so amazing. Especially Siem Reap and Phuket Hotels were top-notches. This is also my first time to Siem reap and visit Angkor temple with Sam ( guide in Siem Reap) she is so knowledgeable and supports me. I thank this company because of its prompt communication and professionalism. If you have a chance to see my reviews, you can book it, and do not worry. The price is also better than other operators.
What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to South East Asia
How much should I budget for optional activities?
Set aside 150-250 USD for optional activities during a 2-week tour in Southeast Asia. In Bangkok you'll find Thai cooking classes for 35 USD while Hue offers motorbike tours at 25 USD. Nha Trang's snorkeling excursions cost around 30 USD. Recent travelers note the value of having extra funds especially in Thailand and Vietnam where affordable side trips add depth to the journey.
What is the average daily budget needed for meals not included in tours?
Budget 15-25 USD per day for meals outside the tour package in Southeast Asia. Local street food costs between 2-5 USD with restaurant meals ranging from 5-15 USD. While tours often cover breakfast and select other meals travelers should plan for additional dining and drinks. Recent feedback suggests Thailand requires more meal budget than other destinations but the culinary experiences justify the expense.
What are the best budget-friendly areas for exploring in South East Asia?
Northern Thailand's Chiang Mai and Vang Vieng along with central Vietnam's Hoi An and Hue offer excellent value. Cambodia's Siem Reap rounds out the top budget destinations. These places combine low-cost lodging local food options and affordable activities. In Hoi An for example visitors can enjoy cycling tours cooking classes and beach activities without spending much. Travelers often highlight the area's mix of cultural experiences and reasonable prices.
When is the most affordable time to visit South East Asia?
Look for deals during the shoulder seasons from May to June or September to October. Prices peak in Northern Thailand and Vietnam from December to February. Better rates appear from May through September in destinations like Hanoi and Halong Bay. Visitors in September report good value and smaller crowds at major attractions like Angkor Wat though occasional afternoon rain showers occur.
Are entrance fees to attractions in South East Asia included in tour prices?
Most budget tours cover entry to major sites including Angkor Wat (37 USD) Cu Chi Tunnels (10 USD) and Halong Bay (25 USD). Extra costs typically apply for optional experiences such as cooking classes (25-35 USD) bicycle tours (10-15 USD) and spa visits. At Angkor Wat while standard tours include entry fees special experiences like sunrise visits come at an additional cost.
What type of accommodation do the budget South East Asia tours offer?
Budget tours provide a range of lodging from hostels to basic hotels and overnight transport. Properties like Siem Reap's Hari Residence Resort and Hanoi's Dal Vostro Hotel offer simple but comfortable rooms. Many tours mix traditional stays including village homestays with practical transportation options like overnight trains. Guests often mention the accommodations surpass expectations while providing authentic local connections not available to independent travelers.
