We have to give our compliments and thanks for this amazing trip they planned for us. It has been so fun, comfortable, and flowed smoothly. Both Canh and Quyen were excellent guides, as were the drivers and our always helpful tour manager, Quyet and Patrick. We especially enjoyed cycling with Sinh, a most enjoyable time with best guide we've ever had. The restaurants and accommodations and the cooking class in Hoi An were way above our expectations. Certainly, the Vietnamese people and the food have been fantastic. We suspect they had something to do with our hotel upgrade in Bangkok at the end of the trip, a thoughtful treat.

Irish in Japan!
Great family trip in Japan. We contacted a few companies, not knowing much at all about Japan. Also, having two energetic boys, we knew we'd already have our hands full! once in country. Indochina Travel was the only company that actually got to know us, and address our specific interests.
They proposed a unique itinerary, beyond the usual tourist sites like Hakone/Mt. Fuji.
Most surprising was their quote, which was also the lowest. Our trip was flawless, every transfer, dining, and hotel experience was without a hitch.
Our boys were kept busy with foods catered more to their Irish palete,
Though since getting home, their favourite food of cabbage and potatoes, has been supplanted by vegetable tempura!
Maybe it's the fact that Japan is an island, that we felt so at home, on this island.
We had quite a laugh when our Tokyo guide surprised us by taking us to an Irish pub, for some Guinness!
Well done Indochina:)))

Vietnam Biking Trip
I usually do my own travel planning, but this was a biking trip through Vietnam with additional organizational requirements and so used Indochina Travel. It all worked out perfectly, and the minor issues that inevitably always come up when on the less traveled path, were resolved quickly and efficiently. Great trip. Great experience. Thank you!

An excellent tour experience with…
An excellent tour experience with Indochina Travel. As a college humanities professor, it is advantageous for me to travel overseas. What I learn beyond the textbook is critical. All of our trips to India, Nepal, Tibet, French Polynesia, Easter Island, Chile, Egypt, Mali, Morocco, and South Africa were trips planned by my husband and me. We don’t go on group trips--EVER. However, going to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand for five-weeks was too much of an undertaking for us to plan. There was just too much confusing and contradicting information of where to go, see, and do. We were pleased Indochina Travel cut through the fog and organized the perfect trip around our interests. Our actual tour from the beginning to the end was superb. The people that we met in all those countries were absolutely friendly and wanting to assist us in every way. They were everything that Indochina Travel said they would be. Without exception, they were the nicest people we have met on all our journeys. In addition to teaching history, philosophy, ethics, and world religions, I teach art history. I went to Tahiti to find out if Paul Gauguin was correct about the French Polynesians being both beautiful physically and emotionally. He was correct, but the people we met on our tour were even nicer than those in French Polynesia. The Vietnamese will forever be in our hearts.
We told them what we wanted to see on our trip over a couple of Zoom calls with their team, and their itinerary was far more than we expected. We are not "foodies" but were converted after the incredible dining they planned! The places and people were beyond what I could have imagined. The guides knew deeply the history and stories of all the places we visited, enhanced by personal encounters with locals everywhere we went. I’ll never forget their help, especially our guides, in educating us about thier cultures. We're already planning a return to Japan with them.

We are typically self planners
We are typically self planners, but have traveled with Indochina Travel in Asia three separate times over the last ten years, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan most recently. They excel at complicated itineraries, out of the way places, are very reliable, and you know you are always in safe hands. Appreciated instant communication with our local managers and flexibility to change our plans in the moment. Their experience and local connections mean our trips were busy with unique experiences and personal encounters, which kept everyone our family equally thrilled and engaged. Best trips we've ever had, highly recommended.

We have traveled the world over for…
We have traveled the world over for decades, by ourselves and with tour companies, but by any standard of measurement this was one of the most interesting, enjoyable and trouble-free trips we have ever taken. Every single guide was knowledgeable, fascinating very helpful, always prompt and went out of their way to insure our well being and comfort. Not only did we see great sights and learn their history, but we also learned about the area, here and now, from each guide, meeting an interesting and variety of locals. Most importantly, we always seemed to beat the hordes of other travelers, often the only tourists in a local cafe and even an entire area, such as Red River Delta The sights were incredible and as unique as any in the world. The hotels were as good as we have ever stayed at, the food was uniformly outstanding as promised, and at the end of each day we went to bed with the satisfaction we had seen the very best the area had to offer and with anticipation of the adventure of the next day. Suffice to say we were completely happy with the way you and your people performed, it was beyond our highest anticipation. Thanks for making it possible for us to have such a wonderful travel experience.
