Vietnam & Angkor Wat

The itinerary was perfect for seeing all of the key sights, aided by an absolutely excellent guide, Thanh Vu who made sure we did so, and was so good at passing on his knowledge, with excellent organisational skills. Hotels were of a very good standard

Most Inspirational Moment

The people & sights of Vietnam & Cambodia, excellent guide, very good hotels, the group we had, included food was very good

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thanh Vu was excellent in every way. He referred to his group as TV's family, and this is exactly how we felt we were looked after. Cannot recommend him enough

Vietnam & Angkor Wat

Excellent holiday end to end – tour guides, accommodation and itinerary outstanding

Most Inspirational Moment

Very broad ranging itinerary - Ha Long Bay spectacular as was Angkor Wat. But Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh offered different perspectives. The vibrant and lantern lit Hoi Ann was another highlight.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thanh Vu we spent the most time with - what an incredible leader - full of knowledge and enthusiasm always thoughtful to individual needs. Likewise Chan Ly in Cambodia was incredibly knowledgeable and made provided an equal level of support.

What an amazing trip!

The best trip I have ever done with Exodus. Everything was perfect: the itinerary, the accommodation, the food! Vietnam and Cambodia are both amazing countries and this trip was the perfect way to experience them both.

Most Inspirational Moment

The overnight boat stay in Ha Long Bay. Drinking cocktails on the sundeck with the most impressive sunset.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vuong (V) made the trip. He was incredible at making sure everything ran smoothly and imparted his vast knowledge about Vietnam upon the group. He is a credit to both Exodus and his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You can pack light. There are plenty of opportunities to do laundry on the trip (very cheap) and you will most definitely buy lots of souvenirs. Also worth adding on an extra night or 2 on arrival to combat the jetlag before the trip starts.

Vietnam & Angkor Wat

We were very happy with our trip from the booking to the execution. Communication was excellent. We loved our guide V and the group.

Most Inspirational Moment

The group dynamic was terrific; we enjoyed spending time with everyone. Particularly enjoyed the cooking class, bicycling, and the Mekong Delta day spent visiting the chocolate farm and coconut production facility. Seeing Angkor Wat and the other areas in Cambodia. Historical sights were important to see.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Wow! V was organized, funny, knowledgeable, and caring. I couldn't have asked for a better leader. Our leader in Cambodia was a different kind of person.

Diarrhoea and murky pricing

The entire group of 12 people had diarrhoea during the holiday. Also it was clear that firstcomers had paid the full price (having been told by Exodus that they only needed 4 people to make the trip viable) that while late bookers and those booking through Trailfinders paid a substantial discount!

Review Centre
Reply from Exodus

We’d like to thank Antonia for her review, though we’re genuinely sorry that a couple of aspects of her trip and experience with Exodus have left a sour taste for her.

Antonia was in contact with us during her tour with regards to other group members feeling unwell, and we followed up with our local team in this regard, as we take the health and safety of our clients extremely seriously. Having conducted an investigation into the matter, we are confident that the hygiene procedures of all the properties we use, and restaurants we visit, on this trip are of a high standard, and could not find any link between meals and members of Antonia’s group being unwell.

Members of Antonia’s group have also been in contact with us, both directly via email and in their post-trip surveys, and have noted that they felt their health and safety was appropriately managed at all times during the trip, and have not raised concerns about illness. While it can, unfortunately, sometimes happen that clients come down with stomach illnesses, especially in tropical countries, due to a variety of factors such as the heat, we appreciate why this might have been worrying for Antonia.

Regarding pricing, we do run promotions, as do any travel company, which it seems later bookers in Antonia’s group were able to utilise. However, this was a matter of luck for them, as it’s not the case that we drop the prices of our trips the closer it gets to the point of departure; later bookings on this occasion happened to coincide with a promotion Exodus began running. Ultimately, the only way to secure your preferred trip and date is to book as soon as possible, as our groups often fill up quickly.

Again, we’d like to thank Antonia for taking the time to provide feedback, as it is valuable for us to maintain the quality of our trips.

Unforgettable Experience

Extraordinary Leader, great accommodation and everything else in between!

Good experience overall

The group size (16) was ideal and we experienced a wide variety of what Vietnam and Cambodia had to offer. The cities were frantic at times but we were guided around the highlights by our Vietnamese guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

The cycle ride around the paddy fields and cottage industries just outside Hoi An. This gave us a real feel for how ordinary Vietnamese people live outside the major cities.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader in Vietnam was excellent. Very knowledgeable about local history and culture and made some great restaurant recommendations. The leader in Cambodia was also great, though we only had him for a day and a half.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you take enough Vietnamese dong. There were many places outside the cities that were cash only. Take any opportunity to see life outside the cities and make the journey to the river market on the Mekong. Well worth it, despite the early start.

Vietnam & Angkor- Premium Adventure

It was our 10th trip with Exodus and the standard was again excellent as we have come to expect.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many highlights but Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, the Mekong Delta and Angkor Wat stood out. Meeting the friendly Vietnamese people and experiencing the scooters at rush hour was also most memorable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Exceptional all round leader who loves his country and wants to share as much of it as he can in the time available. Definitely another highlight of the holiday.

Vietnam & Angkor- Premium Adventure

Content was good, and all trips were on time and well organised. The tour guide in Vietnam (TV) went out of his way on a daily basis to ensure we all understood what was going on. He really did create a family atmosphere which meant we had no concerns or worries about our expeditions or meals

Most Inspirational Moment

The Ha Long bay experience and the meals in general - TV took us to some places we would not have chosen without his expert guidance. Also enjoyed Hoi An.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I really cannot rate TV high enough - he made the holiday - he was on top of every situation and ensured everyone of us were on board. His organisational skills were excellent - It was a seamless set of experiences. He really went above and beyond his remit to ensure we all had a great experience.

Vietnam & Angkor- Premium Adventure

Excellent itinerary, accommodation and local guides.

Most Inspirational Moment

Marble mountain, Angkor Wat and the Red Bridge cookery trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thanh definitely went the extra mile.
