The hotels were pretty good and the fun things were awesome. Things I should point out is that Thai owned businesses will take good care of you compared to some of the ex-pats businesses that have connections with contiki. The good side I made some good friends on the tour and its one of the best times of my life.

Larissa was the Tour Manager and I can honestly say we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was knowledge, exceedingly organised and fun to be with. I was particularly impressed with how she dealt with problems that arose and how she stayed collected in stressful situations. As a 'customer', I felt like I could completely trust Larissa and I really hope our paths cross again. Thanks for the best month ever Larissa <3

As soon as Lari walked into the room and introduced herself as our guide, I knew it was going to be great. She was happy all the time, always always willing to help, absolutely full of knowledge about every place we visited, and if she didn't know she'd find out quickly and be straight back with an answer for any question. She went above and beyond to ensure we were never without suggestions from her of things to do, places to eat, etc. (which by the way, we're always amazing suggestions). She was the heart of the group and she absolutely exceeded all expectations, the trip was the best experience of my life, Lari being a huge part of the reason for that. wouldn't change a thing, and would do a tour with Lari again a million times over!

This was secured through Larissa being a fantastic and positive person with immense drive positivity and commitment. Further she is the key catalyst why I would do another contiki tour in 2017 and thus thank you.

From the very first meeting I knew I would like Larissa. She came into the room with all this light. She made me excited about a new experience. I felt like I could really talk to her as well. Despite getting sick on our trip she made herself readily available to us at every juncture. She never skipped a beat and it was awesome not having to worry about the logistics and simply enjoy the ride. Thanks Lari for being genuinely amazing.

My first time snorkelling, first time I saw a turtle, first scuba dive (which was the most amazing traumatic experience I've ever had). I meet some lovely people on the tour and made unforgettable memories. Larisa, the tour manager was amazing, very professional and approachable. She is the BEST!!
All these experiences equal a holiday I will always remember.

She was super direct and also super laid back at the same time. Very knowledgable about the islands and tour. I fell in love with Thailand when I went. It's definitely a different world out there but you somehow adjust or deal with it. I was out there for a little over two weeks. Best time of my life for sure

She exhibited a strong professional nature and a wealth of knowledge about local areas, Vietnamese culture and the war. I cannot recommend a Contiki tour with Larissa highly enough.

Larissa was an absolute dream for myself and for everyone on our tour. She went above and beyond constantly and exceeded every expectation I had for a tour leader. She not only made the trip 1000% more enjoyable but guaranteed contiki get a return customer again. The Asian Adventure tour really hit the nail on the head when it came to my "fear of missing out" or FOMO as it's known. As the contiki hashtag says I left with #noregrets, apart from not continuing on to the Big Indochina. 10/10 recommendation for the Asian Adventures Tour and a 12/10 recommendation for Larissa. #happyaslari with my trip.

Larissa our travel guide was great during my 'Asian Adventure' contiki. She gave us advice that we all needed and info on places that we visited. I've been to so many contiki trips and I've already booked my next one to America next year. I recommended it to everyone

Larissa was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fun. Being my first tour she set an extremely high bar for future tour guides. Highly recommended!

Larissa, our tour guide absolutely made the trip the most spectacularly experience possible. She was incredibly informative, accommodating to everyone's needs and always willing to listen and answer questions. Her always happy demeanor kept the entire group going, especially on early mornings and super hot days. Our accommodations on the trip exceeded all my expectations. We stayed only in great hotels and 2 guest houses that provided the right amount of local charm.
I loved every second of my trip! And would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Asia.
