The Southeast Asia express tour was an amazing experience. The tour guides, Bun and Ha, were really well informed and accommodating to the guests on the tour. Bun and Ha were both great guides who provided a lot of insight into the history and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia. Bun was very organised and friendly, always answering questions and recommending options for site seeing. The trip itself was great because we visited some less touristy spots and saw how the locals lived their everyday lives, including the home stay. Overall the trip was a flawless experience with a blend of great sites, great food and great company. Cambodia was the highlight for me and we stayed there the longest so we saw a lot more of what life is like there. I also stayed a few extra days in Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok so the tour felt less express to me personally. I would definitely recommend Exodus and this tour to anyone especially if they haven’t been to Southeast Asia and want to see a lot in a short period of time.
