What to Look For in Asia Tour Reviews

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.

Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

Asia is the largest continent in the world which means when visiting you will encounter everything on the spectrum. You’ll see remote villages, cosmopolitan cities, and landscapes that are straight off a postcard. When visiting you’ll also meet a wide variety of people and be put into situations you may be unfamiliar with. 

Many of the positive reviews for Asia tours are the use of local guides and varied itineraries. With Asia’s vast and diverse landscape, having a local expert can help you understand and become fully immersed in the local culture. Some of the reviews praised the tour schedules for combining both city and rural destinations, allowing travelers to see both sides of a country. 

Activities such as eating home cooked meals, meeting local artisans, and hiking through the mountains or forests are some of the favorite activities in Asia. 

Negative reviews generally revolve around the expectations of the trip and timing. Many parts of Asia are underdeveloped and getting around the country may take longer than the itinerary states. Also, in many places in Asia, being on time isn’t the most important thing. Trains are often late and there may be delays at the top attractions (except in Japan!). 

Tour operators in Asia do their best to accommodate travelers and keep to a schedule. However, things do happen. Travelers who are used to precise schedules and timely departures of European tour groups for example may have a harder time adjusting to travel in Asia. 

Additionally, in some countries the quickest and most affordable way to travel is by bus or train. If you get car sick or wish for a more comfortable mode of transportation, checking into a tour operator that provides a more luxurious style may be best. 

If you want a slower tour or a more in-depth experience, booking with a tour operator that focuses on one country or a small area of Asia is a good choice. Many trips to Asia that cover long distances aren’t able to spend as much time in a destination, which means you aren’t able to explore.

The hotel was great, but the service from the local tour director was poor. It would have been better if she kept us more informed on a more frequent basis using email or text messages. Everyone was in Phuket for the first time, and seemed to be wondering what's going on.

the trip was amazing ! honestly the best month i’ve ever had. Renee my trip manager was so amazing and had a wealth of knowledge, always wanting to make sure that we were all happy and did everything she could if we needed anything. i feel like for the full 27 days, the amount of temples were getting a bit much by the end of it (still so amazing and interesting) but was a good amount for the smaller groups that dropped in and out. i honestly loved it, didn’t think i would enjoy it that much. the friends and memories made and the experiences are things that i’ll cherish forever.

라오스에서의 경험은 아주 좋았지만, 캄보디아는 라오스마늠 즐겁지 않습니다. 라오스에서 더 많은 시간을 할애한다면 더 좋아질것같아요

Thinking of eating Shushi in Japan. Well, tour guide told us that it's bad timing for that. I thought Japan was famous for that. Anyway, dinners were awful. The money spent on this trip is not worth it.

Zoe Kelly was the best trip manager!
Her organization and skills to accommodate our needs was amazing. Shes so extremely knowledgeable and was so king throughout our whole experience. She has a lot of patience and was great at problem solving. I never had to. Stress or worry because I knew Zoe had everything planned. Could not be more happy with my experience, the trip my trip manager etc!

Trip was great. Got to see so much in very little time. Activities were fun. Trip manager Jaz gave us many options to do on a couple of the free days. She catered for everyone. I had an issue with my room in one of the hotels. I didnt care but she insisted to get it sorted which she did. Highly recommended this trip and if you have Jaz as trip manager, you'll have an even better time.
