Hoa at Exotic Voyages did an excellent job planning our trip. I’m usually an over-involved, Google-every-detail travel planner, but Hoa took all the pressure off and made perfect choices for hotels, guides, and excursions. I loved having someone with local expertise, something a travel agent in my city couldn't provide.
Communication was super easy, accurate, and always immediate; I was the slow part of the process.
I also appreciated the package options presented. Hoa was very detailed with each option's level of luxury, and she was quick to pick up on what I was looking for, say it be an authentic experience with elephants or a day outside a busy city, or a down day on the beach with the highest level of luxury and comfort. She fit it all in and timed the busy vs. slow perfectly. We did not feel nearly as rushed as expected, since my itinerary was super packed.
As for the guides, Nana in Bangkok became part of the family and made us feel so comfortable and gladly joined us for a great impromptu day to visit my family outside Bangkok, Sunny in Chiang Mai was so sweet and made the most memorable videos for us at the waterfalls and elephants, and our wonderful van with massage seats! Rith in Siem Reap was so knowledgeable and patient, he made the visit to Angkor Wat and the floating village so memorable. Bach in Hanoi was super fun and energetic; he kept us going at this stage of a 3-week trip and really helped us understand Hanoi and the Vietnamese people. The boat trip to Ha Long Bay was also a highlight, so incredibly beautiful, photos barely do it justice, and the boat experience was so different and unique.
Lastly, our visit with a Vietnamese family is now the highlight of the whole trip; the food they made for us was so delicious, and this visit will not be forgotten.
Thank you for the most memorable and luxurious tour of Southeast Asia ever. I would say it was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime trip, but I won’t, since I hope to do it again!
Until next time, Gina Waco

Thank you for making this impromptu day so fun for everyone, even with some of us just arriving from the US, you had the perfect day planned.
Beautiful boat and great food, loved the experience and the welcome before the cruise was nice too.
Great experience, very memorable and interesting.
Thank you to our guide Nana for joining us and adding to the our experience with family.
Perfect comfortable hike, waterfalls were incredible, so unexpected, better than Hawaii, and the lunch spot was the best, loved that we hiked to lunch!
Very nice evening, great food, loved the Chiang Mai red truck and the temple visit.
The islands were so beautiful and the Phi Phi island town was very cute.
The backstreet alleys were so incredible, the life that takes place behind the main streets is amazing. Our visit with a Vietnamese family is now the highlight of the whole trip; the food they made for us was so delicious, and this visit will not be forgotten.
Beautiful show, would recommend for sure.
Incredible experience, must do, I would love to see more of Siem Reap, very neat town.
One of the most memorable experiences, the interaction with the elephants is nicely planned and very engaging, not too much and not too little. The facility is so impressive and lunch was wonderful. The property is very well designed and maintained, loved it!
Highland of the cruise, very beautiful, serene, and relaxing, not another boat or person in sight, well worth the extra day on the cruise.
