    I recommend the agency to everybody looking for professional services as to Indochine area travel (22 days Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia). We were the group of 4 persons aged 60+ looking for personalised individual tour. At a very short notice (first contact Dec 30, trip started Feb 11) everything was organised perfectly including flights, transfers, hotels etc. Excellent communication (thanks Mia!). The itinerary proposed met our expectations, local travel agencies did a great job, cars were comfy, drivers excellent and caring, guides knowledgeable, hotels comfortable, perfectly located, and places and landscapes incredible. Once again thanks for assistance we’ll keep in warm memories our stay.

    Barbara

    Asked on September 23rd, 2024

    Can you advise please if all the activities in this tour are included in the price ? I read something in the additional section that mentioned it did not include entrance fees. If it isn't included could you advise how much this would be please. On day 6 it says the morning is free before an afternoon transfer to the airport for the flight to Ho Chi Minh. Can you advise please what time approx the airport transfer would be ? (Trying to work out if we would have time to visitfor my son sanctuary in the morning). Also on day 8 we would like to visit the reunification palace etc before flying home. Would our transfer be included if we got a late flight as we are continuing on to Phuket ?
