InsideAsia Tours did a great job of planning our trip. The guides, activities and accommodations were all wonderful. All of the logistics were well coordinated and communications with our travel consultant Amy were timely and error free. We would not hesitate to travel with them again in the future.

Sally Edwards, consultant with InsideJapan Tours, put together a fantastic extension to Thailand and Laos. She knew of my love of elephants and other wildlife and pieced together a lovely balance of animals (2 elephant sanctuaries, bear sanctuary and butterfly farm) and wilderness activities (hiking, bamboo rafting) as well as some well needed relaxation (slow boat travel in Laos). Everything was well organized and played out perfectly.

All hotels were wonderful either in character or location (especially the city hotels).At every location we felt the chosen hotel could not be bettered.Not all were 5 star but they fitted the different locations perfectly.

Liam kept in touch with just the right level of contact from start to finish. He listened to our ideas and used his vast knowledge of the country to tailor a trip just for us. The ground crew hat he arranged to look after us in Vietnam were wonder full too. Nothing was too much trouble and they took great care of us. Even when there was a slight hiccup with one of our tours, it was sorted immediately.

Accommodation
★★★★★

With Liam’s help we picked a mix of budget and luxury accommodation across our trip. Everywhere Liam picked for us fitted the bill perfectly and all were fabulously located for what we wanted to see. Each resort and hotel could not do enough for us and we loved each and every one of them. Especially those with no TV!

Liam responded quickly to our suggestions and offered new ideas and options to consider. The experiences , guides, transfers, flights worked like clockwork and took all the stress out of travelling and let us focus on enjoying the holiday.

Accommodation
★★★★

The hotels in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai were perfect. They were small, the staff were friendly and very responsive, both hotels were really well positioned, the rooms were beautiful with lots of original Thai features. Breakfasts were lovely. The Hotel in Kanchanaburu was bigger and the position was beautiful, the room was very nice with great views, the meals and service were great. The area around the hotel was great for walking, so green and lush. The Hotel in Bangkok was a bit out of the way in the Down town area and a bit tired. The room itself was absolutely lovely but the breakfast area and corridors were a bit battered and the pool area was dangerous with dilapidated showers, broken pool furniture and chipped tiles.

Most the accommodation was excellent. The hotel in Phonsavan was not as expected as the bar and restaurant were closed, but this was due to the low number of visitors and reopening after recovery from the pandemic, and acceptable solutions were found.

This was our 2nd trip with Inside Asia. Every hotel was well chosen. Amy was was a pleasure to work with. She listened and remembered what we wanted from our first itinerary planned before the pandemic. Our transfers were seamless. We loved 2 out of the 3 guides. They certainly added so much to our understanding of Vietnam.

Loved all accommodations. The Almanity Hotel in Hoi An had a great spa but the hotel room was not very comfortable. Little privacy in bathroom and raised bed platform was rather dangerous to get in and out of.
