Traveler•Written April 2024just a bit concerned about how many different parts this tour consists of - could you let me know please
- Explore!Operator•Written April 2024
The whole tour is 27 days including Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. So one can book only certain part of it such as only Laos 8 days, Vietnam 14 days or Cambodia 8 days, Vietnam+Cambodia 20 days. So there will be people for the whole 27 days but also there will be new people coming on certain parts and leaving.

Asked on April 12th, 2023Are hotel upgrades available? These seem a bit on the basic side for us.
- Explore!Operator•Written April 2023
Hotels that we use for our trips are selected for their authentic experience. I am afraid that Hotel Upgrades are not an option with our group trips.

Asked on November 16th, 2022I am very interested in your Jewels of Indochina tour. Before booking, I was hoping you could be transparent for me around the physical abilities required to undertake this tour? I can see it has a physical rating of 'Serious' and it's 'active adventure', however I think that can be interpreted differently based on individuals. I am in my late 20's, I am an able bodied person but have low fitness levels. Do you think this tour will be appropriate? I would also appreciate some clarification on the accomodation. In the included part, it has '1 night homestay', however futher down the page, it says '5 nights homestay'. Do you get many Australians on this tour?
- Explore!Operator•Written November 2022
We grade this trip as moderate - which is ideal if you want a holiday which combines activities and experiences with plenty of time to unwind and relax. Typically you'll be active and busy for part of the day but then also have time to rest and recharge your batteries. We have lots of different nationalities that join our trips. There is 1 night in a simple Homestay, and 5 nights in a simple hotel.
