What people love about Far East Tours in August
- Southeast Asia Discovery: Seasides and Street Food
The tour was very well organized and all externally guided tours were fun too. Ratha is very keen to make everyone‘s experience the best. He gives very interesting information about his home country (cambodia) as well as other visited countries. I felt very safe the whole trip. I can only reccomend this tour, money well spent!
- Treasures of Southeast Asia In 11 Days (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand)
In general, it was a great trip. If you are travelling for the first time in SE Asia (as I was) this is a very comfortable, safe, well-organised trip. Nothing was particularly physically demanding but still learned and saw a great deal. My two complaints/points of improvement would be: - Tour agent's English wasn't amazing, which created a lot of unnecessary back and forth and dragged out the booking/confirmation process. - One of the transfer flights (Siem Reap to Phuket) was booked with a 5hr layover, when there were multiple other options with much shorter layovers. I paid for a whole new ticket to get a shorter transfer time, as otherwise a whole day would be wasted. I suspect they tried to save a few dollars booking me on a cheaper flight, pocketing the difference but should have given me the option to pay the difference myself and get a better flight. Make sure you ask what flights they are putting you on before they book you.
- Indochina 10 - Day Unforgettable Journey
It was like a sampler tour touching the highlights of each country. Due to being the low season for tourism, we were surprised to find ourselves alone with a guide and a driver. They kept the schedule to a T; we never had to wait or wonder whether anyone would come.
