What people love about Far East Tours
- Treasures of Indochina 15 Days - Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos
Southeast Asia was incredible, and Prestigo Asia made it even better. The guide was so friendly and helpful throughout the trip. Hotels and meals were excellent. Many new places to discover. A great choice to go with family.
- Indochina Tour with Bangkok Extension 21 Days
Overall we were very satisfied with all the arrangements made for our 18 days Indochina tour covered Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. The itinerary was quite comprehensive, the hotels selected were very decent, clean and comfortable; and we were very pleased with the each of the restaurants selected for lunch during the entire tour. Some were unique and left fond impressions. Guides are key factors in any tour. They can make an ordinary point of interest /itinerary extraordinary and also make an extraordinary site/itinerary ordinary! We were very pleased with every guide at each destination, without exception. They were all very well informed, enthusiastic, courteous, and willing to go the extra distance to take care of our needs & make our visit memorable. We were especially pleased with their candor & honesty when providing information. All drivers were very good, as well. They were all cautious and not once did we feel that safety was being compromised. So overall we had a wonderful and very memorable tour
- Southeast Asia Discovery 19 Days
Bravo Indochina Tours designed a wonderful customized itinerary including tours, drivers, guides, hotels, internal flights etc.during our Nov 2019 travels. Throughout the whole process Lam was knowledgeable, professional and responsive to our requests. We were in four countries - Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand and in each we found the accommodations comfortable and the guides informative. We were met by a representative as we entered each country and they provided expedited visa service. Lam also arranged for a variety of activities in addition to the incredible sight-seeing- boat rides (including private sampan and small cruise of Halong Bay), cooking lessons, acrobatic performances,a home hosted meal etc. All these added to a memorable tour. I HIGHLY recommend this company

Our most popular active tours across Southeast Asia run between 18 and 24 days, giving you a proper mix of cycling through villages, kayaking near Halong Bay's limestone cliffs and exploring temples on foot. Travelers really enjoy starting their mornings with surf lessons at Red Island before heading out to meet local fishing communities. The family homestays in rural Cambodia and Vietnam are consistently rated as trip highlights - you'll eat with local families and learn how they've farmed their land for generations. We've worked in some unique experiences like rides on the bamboo train in Battambang and hands-on cooking classes in Hoi An where you'll pick herbs straight from local gardens. The Mekong Delta sections are carefully mapped out with bicycle routes past fruit orchards, stops at floating markets and nights in traditional houses built on stilts. Our customers appreciate having free time to wander through Luang Prabang's night markets or take optional trips to nearby waterfalls. For those interested in wildlife, the elephant sanctuary visits near Mandalao let you walk alongside rescued elephants in their natural environment - no riding or unethical practices involved. Water activities are a big part too, from snorkeling the clear waters of Ang Thong Marine Park to exploring Bangkok's quiet canals by longtail boat. We keep groups small, usually 8-12 people, which our travelers say creates just the right balance between making new friends and getting personal attention from the guides.
Our bike tours through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand run 12-21 days with gentle daily rides of 30-50km on flat ground. The Mekong Delta's back roads are perfect for cycling - you'll pass rice fields, fruit farms and pop into local workshops and homes along the way. Some routes take you around Angkor's temples and through the villages near Battambang. The support vans follow along and our local teams make sure everyone's comfortable; you just need basic fitness to join in. There's always time to stop for fresh coconuts and local treats. Our cyclists often say their favorite moments are riding across bamboo bridges and through fishing villages, where locals give them a friendly wave you'd miss in a regular tour bus.

Best tour companies for Far East tours
Looking at the feedback from our travelers, Intrepid comes out really strong with their cycling tours. Their guide Is Prapassorn gets special mentions - people appreciate how she takes care of everyone and shares deep local knowledge along the way. Bravo Indochina Tours hits the mark too, particularly when it comes to taking care of the details. Their guide Toni stands out for going above and beyond what travelers expect. The whole team seems focused on making sure everything runs smoothly. Hoi An Express offers a mixed picture. While many travelers praise their knowledgeable guides and like the hotels they use, there are some wrinkles to note. A few customers ran into problems with the bus service, and some found the daily plans weren't as clear as they could be. Between these three, each has its strengths. If you're keen on cycling, Intrepid looks solid. For attentive service and careful planning, Bravo Indochina delivers well. Hoi An Express has good bones with their guides and accommodations, though you might want to double-check the transport and daily schedule details before booking.

People love starting conversations at hostels, swimming together at Kuang Si's pools, and sharing magical moments at sunrise over Angkor Wat. With intimate groups of 8-12 travelers, the morning alms ceremony in Luang Prabang becomes more meaningful, as people form lasting connections with guides and fellow explorers. The itineraries blend structured activities with free time - you might join a cooking class in Hoi An, pedal through villages near Angkor, or navigate Bangkok's waterways by long-tail boat before spending evenings wandering night markets with newfound friends. Travelers consistently tell us that homestays in remote villages stand out, where sharing meals and cultural traditions with local families creates natural bonds.

Our travelers often tell us how their evenings in Halong Bay brought peaceful moments under the stars, while dawn alms ceremonies in Luang Prabang connected them to local traditions. Cycling through Hoi An's countryside leads couples past emerald rice fields to artisan workshops, and village hosts welcome pairs into their daily lives with cooking sessions, craft making and also cultural exchanges. With intimate groups of 8-12 travelers, couples receive individual attention as they discover ancient temples, vibrant markets, mountain communities and also local cuisines. Personal guides add depth to every experience, whether you're exploring Bangkok's temples, paddling through limestone caves or learning family recipes in local homes - giving partners freedom to explore these rich cultural landscapes at their own tempo.
The 25-31 day Southeast Asian journeys hit the sweet spot for young adult travelers, mixing guided activities with plenty of independent exploration time. You'll get nights out in Bangkok's buzzing streets, lazy days on Cambodia's Koh Rong beaches and food adventures through Hanoi's Old Quarter. Our travelers often tell us they love meeting people at the hostels and backpacker spots - whether swimming in Kuang Si's blue pools or catching sunrise at Angkor Wat. The itinerary keeps things moving nicely - one day you're learning to make noodles in Hoi An and the next you're checking out massive caves in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
Our 10-21 day itineraries really work for senior travelers, balancing cultural experiences with a comfortable pace. The morning alms in Luang Prabang, Mekong Delta floating markets and quiet Angkor temples away from crowds are consistently popular stops. The hotels are just right - clean, central and well-equipped. Our experienced local guides make a big difference, sharing deep historical knowledge at places like Hanoi's Temple of Literature and helping navigate local customs too. Small groups of 8-12 people mean you can have good conversations and also get to know your fellow travelers properly.

Tell me about the cultural experiences I can join in on when visiting - what's out there?
The Far East is packed with amazing ways to dive into local culture. You can learn Muay Thai from real pros during a 90-minute class in Chiang Mai Thailand which is pretty special. Over in Luang Prabang Laos you'll see this beautiful tradition where monks in bright saffron robes collect morning alms while locals share sticky rice for blessings. Bangkok's Chinatown has this incredible temple called Wat Mangkon Kamalawat where you can pray among golden statues and red lanterns. There's also this lovely alms-giving ceremony at Sa Kaeo market in Thailand where you can offer sticky rice to monks and receive their blessing.
What natural areas can I explore outside the cities and how do I get to them?
The Far East's protected areas are absolutely stunning. Khao Yai National Park is just a 90-minute drive from Bangkok and has these amazing cycling routes through the forest that'll take you past the impressive Heaw Narok Waterfall. Vietnam's Lan Ha Bay connects to the UNESCO site Ha Long Bay and you've got thousands of limestone islands best explored by boat or kayak. For incredible snorkeling head to Ang Thong National Marine Park in Thailand - it's got over 40 islands and you can easily get there on day trips from Ko Samui.
What are some different ways to get around that most tourists don't know about?
You'll find some really interesting alternative ways to explore. In Ho Chi Minh City you can hop on these cool cyclos (they're like bicycle carriages) and weave through the backstreets right near the city center seeing local life up close. The Mekong River slow boat is fantastic - you spend two days drifting past rural Laos seeing all these riverside villages. Over in Vietnam's Mekong Delta there's this flat cycling path through Cai Thai village where you can watch local life and see how they make traditional rice paper.
Where can I go that's really special but doesn't get too many tourists?
There are some real hidden gems worth discovering. Nan in Thailand is super peaceful with this beautiful temple Wat Phumin from 1596 that's been lovingly restored. Pong Nam Ron gives you a quieter base for exploring Khao Yai National Park away from the Bangkok crowds. Chambok Village in Cambodia is part of this great community tourism project where you can experience real Khmer village life and visit the beautiful Chambok Waterfall without the usual tourist crowds.
What local foods should I definitely try and where's the best place to find them?
The regional food here is incredible. You've got to try kao soy in Chiang Mai - these yellow noodles in curry broth usually with chicken or beef that's just amazing. In Luang Prabang head to Talad Mued Night Market for Sindad which is this fantastic traditional BBQ with grilled meats and blanched vegetables. When you're in Ho Chi Minh City grab a Saigon cafe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk) at Ben Thanh Market - it's the perfect pick-me-up while you're exploring.
