      I find the final price a bit steep if you still have to pay for the airfare

    • Realistic AsiaOperatorWritten May 2025

      Our price included all domestic airfare, transfer, entrance tickets,...as per the itinerary. But the international flights for arrival and departure of this tour are NOT included. You will book it yourself as it'll be more flexible to your availability.
