We had great service before and throughout our holiday. All arrangements ran like clockwork, I can't believe how smoothly it all went with the various logistics during the holiday - we just had to turn up at the stated time and enjoy the trip! And what fantastic trips we had.

Liam was very efficient and knowledgeable and quick to come back with suggestions and answers to any queries we had whilst putting our itinerary together. He gave us a great varied itinerary with a bit of activity, which was just what we were looking for - and what a memorable holiday he gave us, thank you Liam!

Accommodation
★★★★★

Accommodation choices were great and ideally located for easy walking to explore local attractions or restaurants. All hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and food choices for breakfast were plentiful. 2 of our party had birthdays whilst we were away (in 2 different hotels) and they both received cake, flowers and balloons!

Available, reactive and patient. Very helpful and proactive when I explained that the first day of visit was actually shortened.

Accommodation
★★★★★

Beau Rivage in Vientiane very well located with very nice staff with even pop-up restaurants along the river just in front of the hotel. Perfect when you don't want to walk far for dinner.The Sanctuary was also really pretty, very well located and nice staff. But our room was really humid and kept that humidity smell all the time. The cleaners didn't say Hi or replied to us but the staff in general was really kind.The River resort in Champasak was beautiful but we felt stuck especially for eating. Breakfast was really good over there but the dinner was not that great without being bad and we didn't want to go back there as it is actually pricey for Laos. Also being quite tired we did not want to get out of the bungalow to go up to the restaurant especially by fear of mosquitoes.

Our accommodations hit the sweet spot. They were in a good location, luxurious enough to feel pampered, but not over the top pretentious or stuffy.

We had a fantastic time in Vietnam and Cambodia. Charlotte organised some great activities for us and really excelled when we had to change our itinerary at the last minute due to bad weather. Our knowledgeable guides (particularly in Cambodia) really made our trip special.

Charlotte was very helpful and flexible. She had to make changes to the trip at the last minute due to poor weather and she organised brilliant alternative activities.

Accommodation

The Naman Retreat in Hoi An and the Shinta Mani Angkor did exceed expectations but the other two hotels were not as good.

Very helpful and knowledgeable at every point in the booking process and right up to the moment we left. The itinerary and hotels were perfect for us. We had a wonderful time in our two venues in Vietnam (HCMC and Hoi An) and in Hong Kong.

Charlotte Bower

Charlotte helped us with every detail, and understood the kind of holiday we wanted. We wanted to experience Vietnam, but we also wanted things to run smoothly, not to have to negotiate at every point and to be able to enjoy the best of the country on our first visit (it won't be our last visit). The choice of hotel in HCMC was great, as was the resort in Hoi An. Charlotte understood our need to stay within a budget, and was very patient as I kept going back to her to make alterations with our plans. Her recommendations were spot on. And she even helped us get some clothing forwarded to Hoi An from HCMC!

Accommodation
★★★★★

Silverland Yen very friendly and helpful staff and amazing value - great food, complimentary afternoon tea, lovely rooftop bar and pool. Very comfortable rooms and brilliantly located for lots of HCMC's sights and hotspots. The Boutique Resort in Hoi An was small enough to be charming rather than a luxurious holiday 'factory' (we saw some absolutely vast resorts being built on our way from Da Nang). Very pretty cream and red tiles buildings in beautifully landscaped gardens with gorgeous swimming pool and lovely beach cafe and pool bars. Great stretch of private beach - very clean, plenty of comfortable loungers under coconut palm umbrellas. My husband and son enjoyed the gym and I had a great massage in the spa. We spent an extra £200 between the three of us over 5 days, which included drinks, food (lunches, snacks, dinner one night when we were too lazy to go into Hoi An) massage, so good value.
