What our clients say

That was one of the best holidays I have ever had! I am so grateful, we both are, for all that you did and organised for our first introduction to Vietnam and Cambodia. Your meticulous planning was faultless, there was always someone to meet us, always a car waiting and each day a new slant on life in both countries past and present.

What our clients say

I didn’t really want to leave Vietnam at all but, of course, Cambodia was just as dazzling. Dany was a wonderful guide and opened our eyes to things we may never had noticed had we tried to explore Angkor with just a guidebook. There is no doubt that Angkor, particularly Angkor Wat, is extraordinary and I am sure you can go back again and again and always find something new.

What our clients say

As for the highlights, our favourite place in Vietnam was Hoi An – we loved just wandering around the city, the Ancient Hue Garden hotel, The Secret Garden restaurant, our lunch with the fishermen, our cooking class with Mr Thanh and Von, and going to meet Phab and his family on his farm and going round the markets.
