I never worried about transportation, getting to excursions on time, and overall freedom to do what I wanted all thanks to Az. He's always in a positive upbeat mood which makes the trip even more fun. If you do this trip with Az just know not only will you have #noregrets but you'll also have #noworries.

It was our first group tour we've taken and I don't know if we struck the jackpot or that all guides are actually that awesome, but I highly doubt the trip would have been as fun without Az. He is genuinely a great man, but also has such a passion and knowledge for Asia that is very contagious. He was honest and reliable and I will be going out of my way to try and land him as my guide again for my next Asian trip. Dead set a cracker!!

Everything was planned really well, the accomodation we stayed in was always clean and comfortable, and the day trips/me time options were great.

I've never gone anywhere on my own and made so many life long friends from the trip. Our tour guide Az, was absolutely amazing! He made an effort with every person on the trip (nearly 30 of us). The best thing about Az is his outlook on life; all about positivity and seeing the beauty on everything. I feel like a better person from having gone on the trip and meeting Az.

Az made this trip so accommodating from the start. Our food was amazing we went back to each restaurant, tours were beautiful and the locals were very helpful. Even when Az became unwell and had to stop touring, he made sure our plans were set and the tour guide he was training had all the tools needed. He kept in contact the whole time he was ill and flying home. Pretty much a tour legend really.

Az was a fantastic guide and so helpful especially when I lost my passport allowing me to rejoin the group in ample time. He made everyone in the group feel valued and all transport and me time activities were organised with his help. Contiki is a great way to meet people and travel with ease definitely worth booking a trip especially if the guides are all as great as Az!

He is the friend you want keeping an eye on you when you ambitiously go for another Tsingtao. He is the DJ you wanted at your 21st. He is the kind of fashionable you envy and can never achieve, despite buying a banana bucket hat of your own. He is the enthusiasm and spirit you hope to accrue over a lifetime.

He was organised but relaxed and easy going so we never felt like we were on a schedule. Friendly and PATIENT when it was definitely needed (dealing with us drunken Aussies) Always positive, and no problem was too big to overcome (when my friend dislocated her knee dancing, he helped her on and off boas and buses and even organised a crutch for her to take home to Australia) I couldn't recommend him enough, if you're lucky enough to get him as your team leader then your guaranteed an amazing and life changing trip!

From the beginning of the tour Az was able to rub off his energetic and enthusiastic nature and excite everyone on the tour for the trip that was about to begin. From there. Az went above and beyond what a tour leader should. His in depth knowledge and vast experiences overseas really showed. Az is extreme polite, very organised and as I said very knowledgeable.

I did the Bali island hopper in June and it was amazing. Our tour ran smoothly thanks to az's organizational skills and his suggestions and recommendations for activities were always on point. Az is one hell of a human being, he's kind and funny and knows how to keep a group positive and happy. Not to mention his killer dance moves. I honestly could not recommend him higher. As for the trip itself the Bali island hopper is something everyone should do. Our accommodation was what I would consider 5 star and the destinations are pure paradise. Although as Az helped our group realise paradise isn't a place it's a feeling you share with the people around you. Bali with az and my contiki family was one hell of a trip and it will certainly be hard to top.

If you want a tour guide who is knowledgeable, safe, patient, helpful and who goes above and beyond to ensure you have a good time; Az is your man. SERIOUSLY. I have no vested interested in writing this review other than the fact that he's a good bloke and deserves it. Peace.

Could not have asked for a better, more knowledgeable person to have looking after us. Full of useful tips and ideas that made the experience unforgettable. His enthusiasm was infectious and so was his smoothie addiction (I am still smoothie mad to this day). All in all a fun, kind, generous and all round good guy. A pleasure to have met him.

His incredible knowledge of all the areas and local culture truly enhanced the experience. He was committed to the job and to ensuring that every person had the best experience possible. Az was always ready to join in on the party, but still every morning was prepared and organised for the day ahead. He knew all the greatest cultural and tourist spots as well as great restaurants, bars and rave-caves, making every day amazing. Greatest of all, his enthusiasm and friendly nature was a pleasure to be around.

Surpassed everything I excpected and I had the time of my life. Az is a legend, his knowledge of South East Asia made my time there so much better. Great first Contiki experience and it wont be my last!

This guy is an absolute legend, we couldnt believe it was his first time leading a contiki. Extremely professional, knowledgable and knew all the best places for fun/activities. Could not rate this guy any higher as a person or tour guide. 10/10
