What Our Customers Saying...

Hands down the best trip ever!

My mother and I went on a 4 star, 12 day tour of Thailand and Vietnam and it was hands down the best trip we have ever taken.

From the very beginning, they helped us make our itinerary exactly as we wanted it, including everything we wanted and omitting those that weren't all that interesting to us.

The whole Indochina Tour Staff was extremely kind and accommodating, the hotels were were nicely located and really comfortable.

Our tour guides were always on time both at the airport and to pick us up in the hotel every morning. The restaurants that they took us to were very tasty, had varied meal options and always kept in mind our dietary restrictions. All of our guides were very knowledgable, kind and made our whole experience memorable and very special.

Thailand and Vietnam were both really wonderful places with kind people, tasty food, amazing sights and a very rich culture.

I highly recommend Indochina Tour to make your trip amazing.

Thanks to Ivy and Helen for helping us plan, Mimi in Bangkok, Nat in Chiang Mai, Nam in Saigon, Luat in Hoi An and Nat Pham in Hanoi for making our trip the most wonderful experience.

Kindly,
Camila and Yuri

Charming organisation

Helen and Ivy were extremely patient, efficient and speedy with what was a very challenging ask for a busy tour of 3 countries in 24 days. how they managed to orchestrate private cars, taxis, ferry, internal flights and 11 hotels without any hiccups was quite extraordinary.

constantly charming, nothing to much trouble (but quite sure I drove them mad every time we changed our plans!). Personally I would like the two of them to come and organise our lives for ever! Thank you.

Amazing trip to Siem Reap organised by IndoChina.

Our trip was amazing!

It was organised by IndoChina by Srevpov and Kea.

They are very helpful, took complete notice of our requirements and ensured all happened as expected.

I also must our guide Chan who was perfect. He knew everything, took our wishes into account and was always on time.

We started in Siem Reap and were taken care of our guide Chan and our driver.

Our hotel, The Aviary was lovely. Spacious and light and there was a swimming and a bar which served food as well.

Our first day we were taken to the Landmine Museum, which was as expected very sad albeit interesting.

We stopped for a lovely lunch and after the went to the Museum of Buddahs.

A very impressing museum with over 1,000 Buddahs on display.

A return to the Aviary for a dip in the bath before we went out on the town, to Pop Street.

Very popular, especially for the food and entertainment.

One our second day we went to Angkor Wat which was amazing and very, very impressive and interesting. Not one to miss!

One our last day there was festivities as it was the first day of New Years Day in Cambodia.

After that we were taken on a boot trip where we stopped for a drink before being taken to the airport to make for our next stop going to Laos. I would definitely recommend IndoChina to organise your trip and absolutely not miss out on a trip to Siem Reap and Cambodia or any of the bordering countries!

Family Tour in Thailand

Having visited Vietnam last year, we engaged Srey for the second consecutive year, and our trust was well-placed. This time, we explored Thailand from north to south with daily excursions and a private guide. Overall, the experience was fantastic. The itinerary and attractions were consistently engaging, even for our children (aged 9 and 12), and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thailand.

We particularly appreciated the elephant experience, our stay at the floating hotel, and our guide Jira, who looked after us in Bangkok with dedication and discretion.

Furthermore, Indochina Tour's ongoing assistance with check-in and accommodation changes has been nothing short of outstanding. If you are a family with diverse needs, seeking an authentic experience, and have limited time due to the school calendar, we highly recommend maximizing your exploration of a large area like Thailand by engaging a serious and local tour operator such as Indochina Tour.

Thank you, Srey, Kea, and the entire team!

Highlights of Vietnam North to South (14 Days)

It's hard to put into words how amazing this trip was. From the accommodations, service, food, and daily activities/excursions, everything was outstanding – not to mention our wonderful guides who were all knowledgeable, authentic and friendly.

Even before we left, the level of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by our Indochina Tour advisors, Amara and Kea, made me confident that this would be a really good trip.... but even with the bar set high, this trip far exceeded all our expectations still.

I would 100% consider using IndochinaTour.com for planning another trip in the region, and highly recommend them to anyone else who is considering one.
