"Here are the best parts of the tour. I liked the local cooking class and the Irrawaddy cruise, but my favorite was the Inle Lake Fishing Village. It felt like I was seeing the real Myanmar for the first time. And I have to talk about the Bagan Balloon ride. Totally worth the extra cost. Currently looking into a custom tour through Cambodia with AAT for next year, so I’d definitely recommend them!"

"We wanted a tour with a smaller group and AAT got us a tour through Vietnam with just 4 other travelers (8 total!). Most people don’t know smaller groups means more access! And AAT got us into more local, authentic activities that are closed to the bigger groups! The “Cai Be” Cruise in Mekong was my personal favorite, it felt like I was seeing a more hidden part of Vietnam. The relaxed pace, the fun guides, I’ll never forget this trip."

"We enjoyed this tour very much, and that was because of our tour guides and drivers. Our group guide in Laos was particularly amazing. She handled all the questions, pointed us toward all the best restaurants, gave good suggestions for what to see on the free day, she even helped us to get medicine at a local pharmacy! She made our time in Laos very great for us. The low point for us was the hot temps in Cambodia, but we still loved Angkor Wat!"

Our tour changed a lot but she was very patient and her questions and suggestions really helped our plan come together. I would definitely take a tour with AAT again!"

We were so happy, and the tour couldn't have been better. All Asia Tours even helped us with arranging our post-tour trip to Cambodia. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. All accommodations are 5-star or even more. Thanks for this amazing journey."
