What people love about Budget Tours in Asia
- Fantastic of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in 16 Days - Halong Bay/ Hoi An/ Siem Reap/ Phuket
Embarking on a 16-day trip across three countries with two girls like us was the most daring thing we've done, and it turned out to be the most rewarding. The activities and experiences in each country were grea, and Dat's constant support made the journey feel like home. we enjoyed and made new friends during 16 days. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure—I highly recommend it to everyone!
- Splendid of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand 18 Days
My wife and I have just returned from our 18 day holiday to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. It was truly a holiday of a lifetime. I’d like to say a huge thank you to Tour Radar and Prestigo Asia for helping to make this happen. Every aspect of the holiday was flawless and smooth. All the pickups were on time, all the guides were brilliant and the organised trips and tours were the very best. We opted for the five star accommodation and we were so glad we did. Every hotel was truly brilliant and well worth the money. Even when I had a minor problem downloading a flight check-in card, Tour Radar handled everything brilliantly. I communicated with them through WhatsApp and replies were immediate and the problem solved in minutes. I cannot praise the company enough. I’m so glad I chose them. The holiday was worth every penny. Thank you so much.
- Circle Indochine 16 Days - Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos
It was an enjoyable tour. Just wish more info on places to visit and what to expect. Overall experience was good. A lot of free time, don’t feel rushed but tour dates are sort of cut short because no planned activities for the entire day before afternoon flights are booked, sitting in a hotel lobby for hours with no planned activity which I think we are not getting our monies worth.
