    One of the best trips with Collette. We had a great Tour Manager. (Andy) We were constantly on the go and felt like we saw and tasted Southeast Asia. Thank you for your consistent quality service and accommodations.

    Out of our 29 tours with Collette, this was our favorite. Great tour manager, An Doan, made the tour fun, exciting, busy if you wanted, and so much more. Riding vespas and hiking to falls in Laos. All are memorable experiences. We would repeat this tour at a later date.
