    I loved this tour. It was a wonderful overview of Indochina. The local tours and experiences were memorable. Our guide, Ratha Van is one of the best if not the best we've had. He was very knowledgeable, organized and fun. We had regular briefings including useful local words and phrases to make our stays more engaging. He shared his local knowledge which was extensive. When any tour member had problems, he was very helpful in helping us to resolve them. He made our tour extra special.

    Ratha Van was an excellent CEO on our G Adventures trip. He is exceptionally knowledgable, well organized, friendly, funny and courteous. He is always calm and ensures the group members have the very best experience possible. I would take another tour with Ratha for sure!

    What an amazing trip! My husband & I enjoyed every minute of it. Ratha was brilliant, he is an amazing guide, he brought us to amazing places that we would never have found had we not chosen to travel with the group. It was our first group tour and we really loved it. A fantastic way to see Asia.

      Kelly

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      We are looking to visit elephant sanctuary but only one that focus on conservation and welfare. Is that something we could add before or after or book/arrange on a day where there is free time?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten July 2025

      If you wanted to visit an elephant sanctuary, you would need to independently research and plan for it. Whether that would occur before, during free time, or after the tour with us will be based on your provider and availability findings.

    Asked on July 20th, 2025

    Do you have this tour on any date around october when the travellers might be in an older range. I am 60+

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten July 2025

      Ages do vary but the departure on 25th October for example, has travellers born in the 1950s and 1960s. This does only have one space remaining.

    During the tour do you know of an elephant santuary that will be near by any of the stops when we have free time?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten July 2025

      There is definitely one in Chiang Mai and you could visit whilst you are there during any free time. Please speak to the hotel in Chiang Mai or the guide and they will be able to advise you of a good, ethical sanctuary as there are many places that do not treat them well.

    Asked on May 6th, 2025

    Would we be able to attend the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai? Would be in the city during the dates of that.

      Samuel

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      What is the average age for people on this tour? Know it states a wide range of ages but just wondered if it tends to be mostly people in their 30s, or their 70s, etc.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      Day 3 of the November 3 departure would be November 5 and you would have free time in Chiang Mai on this day. You can attend the festival during the free time if this is something you wish to do. The tour leader known as your Chief Experience Officer would be able to help you arrange this once you are on the tour.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      For the Nov 3 departure there are currently only 3 other travellers booked. Generally, we do get people of all ages on this tour.

    Holly

    Asked on April 27th, 2025

    Can some sort of elephant sanctuary be added for a day excursion? We are currently looking at the southeast asia tour. Our dates can be optional, but would like to be in the February to March 2026.

    Other
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      There are still many elephant sanctuaries in Thailand that are unethical. We do not include elephant sanctuaries due to our animal welfare policy. If you would like to visit a sanctuary during your free day, you can do that independently, but we cannot help arrange it. Please do thorough research before visiting as many places claim to be sanctuaries but are not.

  • B

    Brooke

    Asked on March 11th, 2025

    Is there a possibility to have a single room throughout the tour? How much would the peice be? Even with a single room, would I be in Vietnam in rooms without windows as you mentioned? Is there a way to be in a room with windows?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes, we can offer a single room on this tour for 809.00 EUR additional. Please note that if you have booked the 'My Own Room' option for this tour, you will receive your own single accommodation for all night stops, with the following exceptions: Nights 2 & 15 (overnight train); Night 9 (homestay); Night 14 (overnight boat). A variety of styles of hotels/guest houses are used on this trip. In many instances they might not be like what you are used to back home as service and efficiency can vary. In some areas we stay in simple local guest houses in stunning locations - rooms are small and simple and there may only be shared toilet facilities and showers. No guarantee that we can offer a room with a window in Vietnam, but we can request this for you. It will all depend on the facility that we use.
