Overall the tour was good, there were only seven of us on the tour making it a small, easy and manageable group, hotels all good. The driver Addy was excellent, always helpful and forthcoming with advice and information, over and above to what I would have expected. Thanks Addy! Some aspects of the tour I found boring, like the Japanese admin centre, the big Buddha (the Buddha museum), just personal, prefer more like the Alishan Mountain forest experience and fewer temples. To note, the tour commenced on the 2nd July and concluded on the 5th July, seemingly a four day tour.Show more

The 17 Days Indochina Discovery Tour of Singapore was an amazing trip to share, discover and experience culture, beauty, and wonder. The trip was great for learning more about the various traditions, lively cities, historic sites and cuisine of Southeast Asia. The trip was comfortable and enjoyable as everything was well organized from the transport, lodging to the guided tours. Our guides were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the history and customs of each destination. The mix of scheduled activities and downtime was fantastic, and we had the chance to explore the local markets, get to know the people and experience the local culture of each place. The tour was made interesting by the changes of variety throughout it and the overall arrangement made travelling between the various destinations very much easier. This tour is highly recommended for all those who want a multi-country enriching tour.Show more
