5 Days Laos and Cambodia Glimpse Tour

Our recent 17-day private tour of Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia with Indochina Tours (February 16th - March 4th, 2025) exceeded all expectations! The planning process, starting in September 2024, was smooth and efficient thanks to our dedicated travel consultants, Amara and Kea. They were knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and always quick to respond.

We were consistently impressed by the high caliber of the local guides throughout our journey. Ket (Bangkok), Mia (Chiang Rai/Mai), Nemo (Hanoi/Halong Bay), Vu (Ho Chi Minh City), Paska (Siem Reap/Krati), and Reya (Phnom Penh) were all fantastic. A special mention goes to Paska in Siem Reap and Krati, whose deep knowledge and passion for Cambodian history and culture truly enhanced our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Indochina Tours for anyone looking for a personalized and unforgettable trip through Southeast Asia.

I booked with this company based on the reviews. Elena planned an excellent itinerary for our family, grandparents with two ten year olds. Her suggestions included activities that would be interesting for them as well as us. Communication was prompt and I appreciated that. Hotel choices were excellent although I did change one in Luang Prabang to Villa Maly and was very happy with my choice. One was not great but maybe was the best the area had to offer.

The drivers were all good and vans were clean and modern. One driver in Siem reap, Mr Tan, was especially outstanding. The guides were good , with two, our guides in Pakse and SiemReap being especially excellent.

In addition to the wonderful temples and other activities popular in Siem Reap, I suggest that you try lunch with a local. This experience with Dany in her home, gathering produce and herbs from the garden, preparing the food, cooking it and best of all eating it was a highlight of the day!

There were a few issues. Communication with the tour operation could have been better. I did not get final information until the day before I left. There was no guide booked for our last day in Phonom Penh and one was hastily booked.

The bigger issue was that I had asked specifically for a particular company for one event on many occasions but my request was not fulfilled. I would suggest that if there is something that you particularly want, you should book it yourself and inform the company to add it to your itinerary. That way you won’t be disappointed.

Overall, I think the trip was fantastic, great value and well thought out. I think we couldn’t have had a more varied three week tour of Laos and Cambodia.

Hello Sreypov and Kea,

We want to thank you very much for organizing a beautiful vacation in Cambodia for our group in March 2025.

Your attention to details made the difference, and we were able to discover and embrace the people, food, and culture of Cambodia. The itinerary was very well designed, the accommodations excellent and so were the chosen restaurants.

As per our guides and drivers, we were extremely impressed by the professionalism of Chan and Tan in Siem Reap. They made our days memorable. They worked excellent together. Tan is a very good driver and pays attention to all details. Chan’s professionalism, knowledge, control of the English language and attitude made the whole trip memorable.

Thank you very much for choosing them to show us the beauty and history of your country.

Sreypov and Kea, the 2 of you have organized an amazing trip for us, and we will suggest your services to any of our friends if they visit Cambodia.

Personally, we will probably schedule a Vietnam and Thailand trip in the next few years, and will reach out to you when we decide.

Our Cambodian trip was absolutely amazing. Our day at Angkor Wat started at 5am to make the sunrise at 6.30am. Our guide arranged for us to get a packed breakfast from the hotel so that we could quickly move from the sunrise to exploring the temple complex before the crowds. This was an advantage of booking a personal tour rather than a group tour( who would need to return to their hotels after sunrise for their breakfast before starting to explore the complex). Mr Nob Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through all the highlights efficiently and almost always seemed to find us quiet moments to explore each of the important areas. This obviously got more tricky as the day got busier. The Angkor Wat trip was followed by a relaxing massage back in Siem Reap (Mudita Spa).

Tours by Jeeps provided us with an excellent exploration of the countryside around Siem Reap the following morning. It was very exciting to be touring around in a vintage ex military american Jeep. The afternoon was back with Mr Nob to explore the floating village.

Siem Reap is a beautiful city and it would have been nice to have an extra day to explore some more.

Next day was a drive to Phnom Penh. Quite a long drive broken by exploring some of the country's older temples.

Phnom Penh is an impressive city and provides the base for exploring the killing fields and the even more harrowing S21 torture centre. Fortunately Phnom Penh offers a much lighter side with tours of the temples and royal palace.

Our final trip from Phnom Penh was the fast boat down the Mekong to Can Tho.

Thanks to Ivy and Kea at IndoChina Tours for organising our fabulous trip.

Our trip was amazing!! Everything including hotels, food, guides, and transportation were as described on the website. Bliss did a great job a customizing one of their standard tours to meet our exact needs. We could not have asked for anything more. Give them a try - you won't regret it.

This tour encompasses all the key highlights for the main cities in Vietnam. Amara did an excellent job in keeping me informed of the itinerary, tour costs and important documentation. needed for this trip. Kea also did an excellent job in organizing the guides/drivers and last minute changes to the itinerary. All our tour guides/drivers were punctual and professional and very knowledgeable about their respective cities.

Great trip! Guides and drivers were fantastic. Because it was a private tour, we set the time and agenda. No waiting for people from the tour. No getting up to be on the bus at 8am. We combined this trip with a 7 day trip to Laos, then customized it to what we wanted to see and do.

My friend and I are older, so neither of us wanted anything too difficult or rushed. The only hiccup that occurred was when we got to one hotel in Laos, and they didn't have our reservation. We called our contact in Cambodia after hours, who stopped what she was doing and took care of the situation. She was fantastic.

Indochina Tours did send the booking to this hotel per the itinerary, but the hotel never confirmed the booking, then had no vacancies when we arrived. She had to book us at a different hotel. Then had a car come get us and we were at the new hotel within the hour. Amazing trip, and i would use this tour company again for future travels to S.E. Asia.

Having never been to this part of the world, I found Indochina Tours online. The trip planning was easy and seamless with the help of Bliss and Kea as tour planners. They customized this trip for our family of 3 adults and included everything we asked for and more.

Bliss and Kea kept us updated as to travel documents, itinerary and payments. The pay system was secure. We were met at each airport with highly identifiable signs. Local tour guides were fluent in English, friendly and accomodating.

Tour vehicles were clean, comfortable with excellent, safe drivers. Local guides adjusted daily to meet our needs resulting in a wonderful travel experience. We selected 4 star hotels and those provided were above our expectations. Hotel staffs were friendly, met all our expectations and assisted with local transportation and suggestions on our time off of the tour schedule. The food provided by out tour plan was exceptional.

Our highlights of the tour included Siem Reap, The Train Street of Hanoi, Hanoi Bay cruise and local markets and beautiful temples. Be sure your visas have the exact names as they are listed on your passport, birthdays listed with Day, Month, Year, and travel dates covering your time in the countries. If not, you will not be allowed to enter the airport and you are on your own. We would highly recommend Indochina Tour for an unforgetable travel experience.
