Our two weeks in Indochina were seamlessly organized, thanks to the fantastic coordination by Toni. Quick email responses were consistent throughout the trip. The experiences were amazing, with a special highlight being the homestay lunch � we recommend asking for more of these. The variety of temples was impressive, each distinct from the last. A word of caution: Halong Bay can get extremely busy during excursions, and we would consider spending more to avoid crowds in the future. The tour company was faultless, offering plenty of opportunities to customize the tour to our preferences. We particularly appreciated the smaller, friendlier hotels and wish we had requested more of them.We have just booked our second trip with Bravo Tours and it always professional and helpful at all times

Amazing trip to Thailand

13-Jun-23

We've just returned from our incredible journey to Thailand! Toni, you're an absolute superstar for orchestrating the exact trip we had envisioned. I want to extend my utmost appreciation to our guides, Jira and Lid, as they truly excelled in their roles. Our driver, Mr. Pod, was equally remarkable. He navigated us safely across the country and was incredibly considerate during our frequent restroom breaks. I'd like to commend your agency for providing us with such exceptional individuals, who contributed to what can only be described as the tour of a lifetime. Please convey our heartfelt gratitude to Jira, Lid, and Mr. Pod for the fantastic experience they offered us throughout our journey. Once again, Toni, thank you immensely for your outstanding work. Sending you many blessings for a job exceptionally well done!

3-week tour of South East Asia

12-May-23

My friend and I embarked on a remarkable 3-week tour of South East Asia with Bravo Indochina Tours in April. From the moment we touched down in Bangkok, our experience was nothing short of perfection. Throughout the trip, we were guided by an exceptional team of knowledgeable guides who shared invaluable insights about their respective countries. Bravo Indochina Tours struck an impeccable balance between activities and relaxation in their thoughtfully crafted itinerary. The hotels they arranged were truly outstanding, and the refreshing swimming pools were a welcome respite from the sweltering heat. What set Bravo Indochina Tours apart was their all-inclusive pricing, covering almost everything except drinks, souvenirs, and tips, simplifying our budgeting for the trip. Among our favorite experiences, the visit to the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai was a privilege as we spent time with these magnificent creatures. Another highlight was our two-day journey down the Mekong River in a long boat. We opted to extend our stay at the Pakbeng Resort, a delightful retreat in a breathtaking location, which we highly recommend for breaking up the long boat journey with a day of relaxation. Bravo Indochina Tours made it effortless for us to tailor the itinerary to our preferences. And let's not forget the exceptional food we savored throughout the journey � truly remarkable. In summary, our South East Asia adventure with Bravo Indochina Tours was nothing short of wonderful. We are eager to travel with them again in the future. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Excellent Holiday in Vietnam

12-Oct-23

Our journey through Vietnam was nothing short of exceptional, all thanks to Bravo Indochina Tours. If you're fortunate enough to have Cathy as your itinerary mastermind, you're in for the smoothest trip imaginable. Cathy was outstanding right from the start, crafting the entire journey to align perfectly with our desires. Our guides, Tu?n and Victor, were the cherry on top of our experience. Their profound knowledge and insightful commentary added layers of history and culture to our adventure. This trip stands out as one of the best I've ever embarked on, and I'm no stranger to globetrotting. Without a doubt, I'll turn to Bravo Indochina Tours again for future travel plans in different countries. This journey struck the ideal balance between immersing us in authentic Vietnamese culture and exploring iconic tourist destinations.

Our travel thru India and Nepal was fantastically executed by Bravo Asia Tours. Mavis was organized, professional and caring about all the details to make our trip memorable in so many ways. Not a glitch and exceptional service from her, as she called us several times to ensure all was well. Tour guides, chauffeurs, hotels ...everything was great.

Oliver

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.

SOUTH EAST ASIA TOUR WITH BRAVO

9-May-23

Our recent 3-week adventure in Southeast Asia, meticulously arranged by John from Bravo Indochina Tours, was another resounding success. This marks our third trip, all masterfully planned by John, and we have consistently been delighted with the results. John possesses the unique ability to collaborate with us to craft the precise trip we envision, then orchestrates all the intricate arrangements to ensure a seamless and enjoyable journey. His availability, both during the planning stage and throughout the trip, is nothing short of impressive�we often wonder if he ever sleeps, given his swift responses. This comprehensive trip encompassed Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos, involving 8 well-appointed hotels, 6 sets of private drivers and guides, and 6 internal flights. We were pleasantly surprised by multiple free upgrades to 4 or 5-star hotels. The guides, with their profound knowledge, enriched our exploration, while the drivers skillfully transported us in clean and comfortable vehicles, ensuring our safety and comfort. Our anticipation for future travels is heightened, knowing that we can rely on John to design exceptional journeys. We are thrilled that Bravo Indochina Tours now extends its expertise to cover a broader spectrum of the world.
