Exceptional Southeast Asia Adventure with Bravo Tours

21-Dec-23

Our recent 14-day journey across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand with Bravo Tours was truly outstanding. I highly recommend their services, especially the expertise of Nikki, our travel consultant, for creating a stress-free vacation. Nikki, our responsive contact, tailored the tour perfectly for our group. As someone with dietary restrictions (gluten intolerance), Nikki ensured I could savor local cuisine by arranging accommodating breakfasts and lunches. The food was not only safe but also exceptionally tasty. Our well-located accommodations allowed us to explore freely during leisure time, striking a perfect balance between guided activities and personal exploration. Our tour guides and drivers were the highlight of our journey, displaying professionalism, friendliness, and deep knowledge. Thong in Hanoi and Amy in Bangkok stood out for their efforts in researching gluten-free options and recommending suitable dinner spots. In summary, our Southeast Asia adventure with Bravo Tours exceeded expectations, offering memorable experiences and delicious food. Bravo Tours and Nikki provided a seamless and unforgettable vacation, highly recommended.

incredible our trip to Vietnam

9-May-23

The tour was absolutely fantastic, and I had an amazing time throughout. Our guide was exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to provide us with an authentic immersion into the country. From spontaneous rides in tuk-tuks to local restaurants, insightful advice on regional dishes, and a wealth of fascinating facts about Thailand, our guide ensured an enriching experience. The group size, consisting of 12 individuals, was ideal. This allowed us the flexibility to explore destinations swiftly without being bound to a large bus. It fostered spontaneity and enabled us to uncover hidden gems such as small local restaurants and unique delicacies. The intimate group setting, where everyone shared similar expectations and desires for the tour, truly enhanced the overall value of the experience.

Could not have asked for a better trip

9-May-23

Our booking agent, Toni, was excellent. We had 10 travelling to Thailand in Feb 2020 and he managed us well including a couple of adjustments to the itinerary and suggestions to assist us when requests were outside of items they covered. The in-country guides, Lucky and Toy, were awesome and knew all about the areas they were responsible for. We could not have asked for a better trip

Our guides and driver were great!

11-Jul-23

Working with Toni was an exceptional experience. From the outset, she collaborated with us to create the perfect itinerary for our family trip to Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, which included two teenage boys. Toni maintained communication throughout our journey, keeping us informed about any changes or delays to our itinerary. At every airport, we were greeted by English-speaking native guides, each of whom shared the beauty of their respective countries with us.

2 Weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia...thank you Toni

Our family embarked on a remarkable 2-week adventure through Vietnam and Cambodia, guided by the expert arrangements of Toni. This journey turned out to be an absolute highlight, surpassing all our expectations. One of the most delightful surprises was the sheer charm and intrigue of these countries, coupled with the warm and welcoming nature of the people we encountered. What truly made this trip exceptional were the impeccable details. The guides in each region and our skilled drivers were not only highly competent but also incredibly helpful. From our unforgettable 3-day exploration of Ha Long Bay to the awe-inspiring experience at Angkor Wat, every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Toni for crafting such a memorable adventure. This journey will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Exploring Four Countries in 19 Days

9-May-23

Thanks to Queen's meticulous planning, my solo journey through Nepal, Bhutan, India, and Sri Lanka was nothing short of perfect. Throughout my adventure, I was never truly alone, thanks to the wonderful guides and drivers in each country. I can't wait to embark on another adventure, and I owe a big thanks to Odynovo for making this incredible journey possible. In Bhutan, my guide and driver even took the time to stop and help me pick wild strawberries when they learned of my fondness for them.

The trip featured outstanding four-star hotels strategically located in each city, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture. What truly set this experience apart was the perfect balance of guided tours and personal exploration.
