Customer reviews and what they say

The most important thing we can do to improve our service is listen to what our customers have to say, which is why you can now read their comments unedited on our website.

Upon returning from Southeast Asia all our clients are sent a review form and here you can see what they are saying about their experience of travel to the region and of the service we offered both during the trip planning process and in the build-up to the trip.

We looked at sample Inside Asia itineraries and selected aspects of a few programs which we wanted to explore as a couple travelling independently. Casey designed a fantastic itinerary, with accomodation, transport, selected guided and other activities. It all worked together beautifully! Everything went well and we had a wonderful trip to two very interesting, beautiful countries.

Casey Waller

Casey designed and organised a wonderful trip. We had some ideas - mostly from the sample Inside Asia itineraries - and some suggestions and parameters for how we like to travel and Casey absorbed our suggestions to come up with a fantastic program. I was initially a bit unsure how we would manage in Japan using the train system - but it was great - so easy and comfortable. Our transport tickets were mostly pre-purchased by Inside Asia and delivered to our hotels - it was all very well organised and all went very well.

Accommodation
★★★★★

We had a range of accomodation styles and levels with breakfast included. All were different and all great. Only one suggestion - it would be useful to have included the hotel names and addresses in the script and language of the country. (Sometimes difficult to communicate to taxi drivers who don’t read English alphabet)

After attempting other tours with other agencies and them falling through, I came in to this with doubts, but turns out... this was the best vacation I ever went on. All arrangements were made smoothly, the travel book of our schedule was a tremendous help, and the personal tour guides that were arranged were amazing. If (when!) I go back to Asia, I will certainly be using this company. Worth every penny.

The G8 hotel we stayed in Jung-ju was not as nice as the other hotels. There was no restaurant on site (there was a basic breakfast) but the staff did not seem to like tourists. The other hotels were exceptional.

Our trip to South Korea was very well organised with very clear instructions on what we needed to do and when. The support before and during the trip was first class and we appreciated the additional information provided in booklets which helped to inform us on what to expect when we were there, where to eat and additional things that we might be interested in doing.

Rhian was very helpful and responsive. She provided an excellent service which would be very hard for anyone to better.

The hotel in Seoul was what you would expect from a four star hotel so no complaints.
Visitors at a more busy time of year might find the lifts in the hotel frustrating but that is well documented in the hotel feedback comments if you look at them...we disregarded those and for us it was not a problem.
