✨ I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Vietnam Allure Travel on the 21-Day Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand tour. This trip was the perfect way to discover the diversity of Southeast Asia. from the bustling streets of Hanoi and historic temples of Angkor Wat, to the vibrant markets of Bangkok and the serene beauty of the Mekong Delta. The itinerary was well-balanced with culture, nature, history, and local experiences all thoughtfully included.

Mark • traveled in November
Our guide Gadi managed our large group really well in Israel. It would be a lot smoother if we only had 1-2 hotels to pickup and drop off at. 4-5 hotels spread out wasted time in traffic. Gadi had deep and excellent knowledge and a treasured well used Bible to share and his Jewish perspective on the “must see” Jesus locations kept me thinking about how the Pharisees and Sadducee’s viewed Jesus. We needed another hour to see Petra so please try to get the Jordanian tour guide to shorten the much stop. Our scheduled hotel was overbooked and an alternate was sourced but that should have been done during the day while we were independently touring Petra. There was confusion at the airport Jordan to Egypt about the visas we feel this could have been handled better. Egypt was frenetic for sure. Again big distances between Hotels should have been avoided. Gigi was lovely very informative especially at he museum. Loved the pyramids and sphinx.
