What people love about Far East Tours in January
- Splendid of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand 18 Days
Important things to note!!! Overall the tour was nice. The activities were all very nice and the transfers were easy. There are some things to note, if you are going to upgrade to 5 star accommodations. The cruise in Halong Bay (Dora Cruise), while nice was definitely not 5 star. Also the hotel in Saigon (Rex) while very nice, is very old and outdated. The wing of the hotel I was in was very old and very dirty on the outside. The room was very outdated and dark with no balcony. The remainder of the accommodations were very nice. The other biggest thing to note is the "bus" between Phnom Penh and Siem Riep. This is basically a city transfer bus and not a tour/coach bus and it is a 6 hour drive! I did complain and the tour operator had me removed from the bus and arranged for a van to pick me up and drive me, which was nice, but had I known, I would have arranged this ahead of time. Another important things to note is that on all the transfer days between cities/countries, the pick up time was around 1 pm. I thought this was good because I had the morning but I ended up not getting to my destination hotel until 7 pm or later. I would have preferred to leave earlier to arrive in the destination in time to get settled and have a nice dinner. I was travelling solo and no one else picked the same start date as me so I was basically on the tour alone. There were a few days that I was with other groups but mostly I had private tours. As a solo female, I sometimes found this nice and sometimes wished there were other people around. I have traveled solo before but on small group tours and it is nice to meet and get to know people over the tour. That being said, having private tours was nice because I got to do more and see everything I personally wanted to see/do. The tour operator was very responsive throughout the tour and while I was not happy with some of the accommodations, they were very helpful.
- Cambodia to Vietnam: Night Markets & Noodle-Making
Enjoyed every part of the trip! Minea was awesome such a sweetheart. The only thing that I think could be improved is the amount of travelling done during the day through Cambodia. If there had been some more overnight travelling it would have allowed for more time in the day to see each City.
- Bangkok to Singapore: Jungle Hikes & Island Nights
That was a nice tour! We visited nice places, we had good accommodation and Fon was an excellent guide! There are not so many activities included but those offered are not so expensive. I totally recommend this tour!
