NIcholas· December 26th, 2024Nice tour with good group and team leaders. Hotels all reasonably good & comfortable, well paced, its quite busy until the last 3 days but I enjoy this to try and see as much as you can whilst on holiday. Andrew, tour leader, was really good, as were the local guides. I would have preferred more time in Singapore, its really one day and one night which is too short for me. I liked Malaysia but I felt it doesn't quite offer the same diversity as other SE Asian destinations or places like Sri Lanka, but still worth the trip. I was the only working person on this trip, at first this did worry me, but the group was great fun and i had some great memories with them. Still, if you're younger (I'm 53), Explore's database seems to be retirees. Overall I enjoyed this tour and would recommendShow more
