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.

Bravo Indochina Tours

12-May-23

I highly recommend the Time tour if you're seeking a glimpse into the rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes of northern Thailand and the picturesque countryside near Bangkok. The tour's standout moments featured an enjoyable cooking class in Chiang Mai, led by an exceptional couple, as well as a memorable night spent on a jungle raft in the River Kwai. The small and amiable group added to the overall experience, and I particularly appreciated the intimacy of a smaller gathering. Our guide, Tui, was truly exceptional. She exuded friendliness, was incredibly accommodating, and went above and beyond in taking care of the group. Tui surpassed expectations in her role. Without a doubt, I would choose Bravo Indochina Tours for another adventure.

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

Thank you!

An incredible experience! It's challenging to pinpoint the highlights as the entire journey was exceptional. We gained a profound understanding of Thailand and its people, leaving a lasting imprint on our hearts. I wholeheartedly recommend Bravo Indochina Tours to everyone after such a remarkable adventure.

Truly unforgettable experience

21-Sep-23

Our initial visit to Vietnam and Cambodia marked a truly unforgettable experience. Bravo Indochina Tours orchestrated a flawless 15-day itinerary for my husband and me. Our dedicated travel consultant, Ms. Leila Deng, exhibited exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and reliability throughout our journey. She not only assisted us in obtaining the necessary visas but also provided invaluable support from the outset to the conclusion of our trip. The selection of 5-star hotels left us in awe. Each establishment offered exceptional breakfasts, splendid swimming pools, and top-notch spa services, all in well-chosen locations. Every local flight, tour, and transportation arrangement operated with impeccable precision and punctuality. However, the real highlight was our interactions with the five private tour guides and drivers. Their wealth of knowledge, flexibility, and experience ensured that we had an incredible time on this journey, notwithstanding the intense heat we encountered, reaching 41 degrees in the South of Vietnam. Without reservation, we wholeheartedly endorse Bravo Indochina Tours and are already contemplating our next international adventure with them.

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.

Perfect holidays in India

13-Jun-23

I've had the pleasure of using Bravo for holidays from the UK to India twice, and both times, Lynn has masterfully handled our arrangements. The first trip, in 2019, was with my daughter, and as two females traveling to India for the first time, I had initial concerns. However, those worries were entirely unnecessary, as everything ran seamlessly, and we had an incredible time. In fact, our experience was so exceptional that we couldn't resist returning with the family. Originally, we had booked our return trip for April 2020, but due to Covid restrictions, we had to reschedule for March 2023. Throughout this process, Lynn kept us well-informed and, when the time came, crafted an outstanding itinerary for us. The hotels were top-notch, and the service provided by the drivers and guides was truly fantastic. Now, as we begin to plan our next big adventure, we have no doubt that we'll turn to Odynovo once again. Why risk using another operator when Bravo Tours's service is so consistently fabulous? I cannot recommend them highly enough for their flawless execution of our perfect holidays in India.
