Our first-hand inside knowledge of this region enables us to offer memorable holidays that consistently exceed our customers’ expectations, as proven by the client feedback on our websites.

Vietnam Vietnam is a country on the move. The American-Vietnamese War ended almost forty years ago and, whilst not forgotten, it no longer defines today’s Vietnamese, who are young, optimistic and dynamic; ready to welcome the world. There is a real buzz on the streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, contrasting with and complementing the more traditional aspects of the country to be found beyond the urban sprawl. Whether you are hiking through the rice terraces of the north, cruising through the magical scenery of Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta, relaxing on Phu Quoc’s palm-lined beaches or sipping coffee on a colonial boulevard, there’s plenty to discover in this beautiful country.

Cambodia is the Southeast Asia of countless postcards: a land of smiling people and orangerobed monks, tropical fruit, hidden Khmer temples, lush rice paddies, tuk tuks and delicious coconut curries served on banana leaves. Although best known for the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor, Cambodia has much more to offer: teetering stilt villages on Tonle Sap Lake; palaces and colonial villas in Phnom Penh; golden beaches, jungletreks and river cruises - not to mention fantastic Khmer cuisine and artisan craftwork.

Laos Laos, “the Land of a Million Elephants”, remains one of Asia’s least-visited and most underrated destinations – and is all the better for it. In Luang Prabang, a former capital brimming with ornate palaces and temples, Laos boasts one of Southeast Asia’s most atmospheric towns. Beyond the cities, rugged jungle-clad mountains, bisected by great rivers, cover much of the country, pocketed with vast caves, archaeological sites and laid-back riverside resorts.

Burma Arriving in Burma is akin to travelling back through time to a Southeast Asia of the 1980s, when international influence was just beginning to gain a foothold and the sense of the mysterious and exotic was still pervasive. Remnants of Burmese colonial era architecture are still evident across the country, whilst beyond the cities you’ll find a dramatic variety of scenery and topography: semi-desert plains, lush jungle, snow-capped Himalayan peaks and idyllic beaches that stretch from Bangladesh to the Thai border.
