What people love about South East Asia Tours for Young Adults
- Cambodia to Vietnam: Night Markets & Noodle-Making
Overall experience was AMAZING!
- Vietnam, Laos & Thailand: Riversides & Railways
I absolutely loved my time with Sovann on my first ever independent trip to a third world country. The itinerary was well structured and we were kept up to date so no one was ever out of the loop. Our group had a range of people from 18 to 32/34 years old - Sovann managed to keep us all interlinked with activities and options that were suitable for all. I was impressed with his passion , and despite being away from his family for so long , Sovann was always a cheerful and entertaining addition to our trip. Having been my first real trip overseas to foreign lands I was VERY nervous , although during the trip thanks to its well planned nature and hospitality shown to me by Sovann and the locals of Vietnam, Laos and Thailand my worries were put to rest. Can't wait for my next G Adventures trip.
- Amazing Vietnam & Cambodia and Thailand ends Chiang Mai (4 Star Hotels)
Traveling with travel talk took a lot of the stress away that you have when traveling solo with things such as accommodations, transportation, scheduling, etc. At times it was frustrating communicating with customer service before the tour departed to gather necessary information such as the tour guide’s contact info, meeting at the hotel and collecting everyone’s flight information, important info for visas - however once we got there everything went smoothly. I would have liked to have done one or two more activities each day as we ended quite early. On a few days where there were cancellations within our itinerary, there were no substitutions which would have been nice. The places we stayed were oftentimes one extreme or the other - really nice or really not the 4 stars they promised. The tour guides were great in each country - very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. The things we did see and do really were amazing!!
