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.

Liam did a great job listening to what we wanted and developing a package that met those needs. We also had pre-existing travel plans that he had to work around and was very helpful continually tailoring the proposal until it was perfect.

It all worked really well,the guides were excellent (with the exception of one who didn't really engage with us), the accommodation was all good and as described. We did a great balance of things (could have had another rest day!) and it all lived up to or exceeded expectation.

Liam was very helpful and helped reorganise stuff when we were away, which was very great. Really liked all the information in the little booklets - very helpful.

Accommodation
★★★★★

It was all good, La Siesta in Hanoi was great, as was Viroth's in Siem Reap, Tam Coc was lovely but the food was not as good as the rest of the hotel, Palm Garden was good and Au Lac in HCM had a good location but was our least favourite - staff not very helpful, bathroom rather smelly, breakfast not as good as other hotels.

Vicky Garnett

Our consultant, Vicky, tried hard but she seemed inexperienced and had a lack of local knowledge of both Vietnam and Cambodia. I had assumed that while in Siem Reap that our tour of the temples would have included a trip to Angkor Wat and Phohm Temple. As they were not included, our guide suggested we took a tuc tuk to the ticket kiosk and then on to the temples where we could hire a local guide at the entrance of Angkor Wat Temple. If we had wanted to travel independently we would have just booked hotels and flights. Also we had to choose between a cycle ride or boat ride on Tonie Sap Lake, it was not possibe to do both as stated in our itinerary.

Charlotte Bower

Charlotte's attention to detail is praiseworthy. She organised a packed itinerary covering the three countries which suited us all.

Accommodation
★★★★★

All accommodation was exceptional. Superb accommodation, excellent food and very attentive service wherever we stayed.The only adverse comment we feel we should make concerns the Sofitel Plaza, Saigon. After driving back from the Mekong Delta we were all looking forward to spending some time relaxing around the roof top pool before our evening Vespa tour. Disappointingly, the pool being used for a 'private party' which, to us, was incomprehensible. Surely, as part of the service being offered by this hotel the pool should be open to all of its residents at all times. The response from the hotel management to our resulting complaint also left a lot to be desired.

Had a great balcony room in Kalaw and staff at the hotel fetched local food for breakfast (Shan noodles) at the request of our guide. Loved the Bagan King hotel and Thazin Garden.
