- Fantastic of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in 16 Days - Halong Bay/ Hoi An/ Siem Reap/ Phuket
PrestiGo Asia provided us with a memorable and interesting 16-day itinerary through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. All of the trip segment ran on time and as advertised due to excellent coordination of local transportation and guide services. Most of the guides had better-than-average English skills and all were very knowledgeable of their excursions, history and surrounds. The meals provided on the excursions were interesting and tasty, without going into any unpalatable territory. Overall, we’d highly recommend PrestiGo for this “ Fantastic [Discovery of] of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in 16 Days - including Halong Bay/ Hoi An/ Phuket”.
