Indochina Travel did a great job helping us before and during our trip. The guides were fabulous. When we needed some help, they took care of what we needed. We have fond memories of our trip.

Indochina Travel Japan promised from our arrival in Tokyo until we departed from Osaka two weeks later, we could relax, not worry about anything while enjoying our trip. They delivered this and so much more. We could not have been more happy with not only the final itinerary proposed, but the special people they arrange for us to meet, interesting activities, incredible meals, and places we had never even heard of that turned out to be real gems such as Mount Koya and Kaga. Our guides were exceptional, polite, attentive, and knowledgeable (thank you very much Saori), and we enjoyed hearing anecdotes about the celebrities they had guided. Terrific experience on all counts, highly recommended.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our recent anniversary trip to Japan. The tours of various art museums and studios were most rewarding and enriching. The culinary destinations were impeccable and absolutely delicious. We felt very comfortable, pampered, and well taken care of during our entire vacation from start to finish. Our local guides were superb as were our tour specialists that booked our travel and itinerary in San Francisco. We cherish our trip to Japan and especially enjoyed our customized excursion to a historic Japanese Bath House.

Our trip to Vietnam was planned with a focus on our interests in the arts. We we pleased Indochina Travel arranged private meetings for us with top artists in their studios and homes, including Dinh Quan and Dao Anh Khanh, as well as fascinating moments with musicians and writers - including Nguyen Qui Duc whom we had followed years ago on PBS. As a side, the company organizes a lot of culinary trips and we were delighted by the dining planned for our trip without even asking. Thoroughly impressed they went above and beyond our expectations. Vietnam will always remain our most treasured trip for the work they did.

This trip gave us a wonderful array of sights, sounds and tastes. Our guides were knowledgeable, personable and just delightful! From Pho to Banh Mi, making our own spring and summer rolls to street food in every form, this culinary tour was spot-on perfect. Add to that the gorgeous scenery from north to south Vietnam and it was a wonderful trip. Can't thank you guys enough!

This was my first visit to Vietnam after wanting to go there for many years prior. If I knew it was this serene, I would come much sooner. It totally changed the way I thought about this region since all my knowledge about Vietnam is through war movies and documentaries. It's the complete opposite of what I thought as the people here are the happiest ones I encountered in all my travels. We travel from Hanoi all the way south to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) visiting country sides, picturesque mountains, unbelievable coast lines, beaches, and culture rich cities. Our tour guides were amazing and full of knowledge which made our trip so much more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back to this part of the world as there are so many places I still love to visit.

Caveat emptor - I'm a very flexible traveler, but very picky reviewer. That being said, if I were a picky traveler I think I would still give these guys a 7 out of 5 if I could. I experienced the multiweek tour of Vietnam and absolutely loved every minute. Obviously in your travels, as in life, not everything goes exactly to plan all the time. Like no, we could not foresee or stop the rain from falling. But yes it was possibly the most fun I had in many years on a bike ! In my case everything was made super smooth and headache free. All of the itinerary was managed and options were provided. There were no hick-ups or surprises on the part of IT and they seemed to take great effort to ensure everyone was satisfied during the trip. Very outgoing, professional, and pleasant. One of my favorite things about this trip was that I had the option to be as adventurous or laid-back as I wanted. This is great because I think everyone travels differently. And while some people prefer short easy rides every day, others want to gruel it out and reap the rewards. I literally can't wait for me next trip with IT ! Thanks again

This is the second trip we have planned with Indochina Travel. We went to Myanmar 4 years ago and this past January traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Our experience working with Patrick and Tree has been stellar. Patrick is a wealth of information about Southeast Asia and we loved his accessibility and time in helping us to plan a truly unique adventure that was culturally rich and also active and memorable. Because Indochina Travel has a presence in Vietnam, you are not having to deal with a company in the states and then another company in Asia. As a result, things were much more seamless and individualized and flexible. On both trips, our guides were amazing- professional, attentive, incredibly informative and fun. What we loved is that Patrick really helped to provide us with a very rich experience that allowed us to feel immersed in the culture and to meet people such as journalists and artists who would be able to give us history and perspective of their cultures. Tree did a wonderful job in planning our accommodations and we were very pleased with the hotels and attention we received as a result of being clients of Indochina Travel. We recommend Patrick and Tree without reservation- you will have an experience like no other working with them. Our only regret is that they don't do this in other parts of the world!!
