Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore Tour Review: Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Angkor Wat, Elephant Experience, Biking, 17 Days

Excellent trip.

For improvements, there are a couple of items.

The first tour guide in Hanoi did the minimum. He didn’t escort us through some of the exhibits and explain what we were looking at, for example, the "Hanoi Hilton." He also didn’t escort us into the airport on departure. All the other tour guides escorted us through the exhibits and brought us into the airport for check-in.

Flights in-country were middle seat and window. We expressly stated we did not want cheap seats on a 30k trip.

We wanted a cooking program one day. None of the activities met our stated expectations.

We could not have been more pleased with our trip with Zicasso’s tour operator. Our travel specialist and all of the guides were highly professional, thorough, knowledgeable, flexible, and kind. They listened to us and planned and executed a trip of a lifetime for us. We were amazed at the unique experiences they arranged. We felt that we gained insight into the culture, history, and life of Japan and Vietnam that we could never have gained on our own.

FYI, this review is for both countries we visited: Japan for three weeks and Vietnam for three weeks.
