What people love about Asia Tours in May
- Southeast Asia Discovery: Seasides and Street FoodI am recently home from the Indochina tour Bangkok to Bangkok that went through Cambodia,Vietnam and Laos and on to Thailand. I absolutely loved this tour and our CEO Olive was fantastic.She was crazy,funny but was also really knowledable about every where we visited. I think if you are to go on a trip like this it is better to expect the worst from the hygiene here as the toilets were quite gruesome in some places but its all part of the experiences. Breakfasts most mornings are included but these can range from full on asian food to just egg and bread. I had the most amazing time and although the travel can get a bit exhausting, being with like minded travellers made the trip fun and easy. We partied, explored and I feel Ive learnt so much about asian culture and history. Would recommend this to tour ! And hopefully you get Olive as a CEO as she is awesome! 
- 5 Stans and CaucasusOur guide Gulya was amazing, there was just 3 of us in a group, we laughed and talked, asked questions. After being in more than 120 countries, 5 Stans with East Site for sure made to the top of our list. 
- Southeast Asia EncompassedI loved this tour. It was a wonderful overview of Indochina. The local tours and experiences were memorable. Our guide, Ratha Van is one of the best if not the best we've had. He was very knowledgeable, organized and fun. We had regular briefings including useful local words and phrases to make our stays more engaging. He shared his local knowledge which was extensive. When any tour member had problems, he was very helpful in helping us to resolve them. He made our tour extra special.
