    We have just returned from a 10 night Cambodian Experience tour with Insider Journeys from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. The tour provided an excellent overview of the country, people and culture as well as a range of experiences including tuk tuks, boat trips, cyclos, temples, pagodas and of course outstanding food experiences and tasting. Accommodation was always comfortable and clean and transport well maintained. Each day was different from the last, covering from the stark reality of the killing fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat. Free time was available for exploring as well. Our guide Virak was knowlegeable, friendly, accommodating and passionate about his country and contributed greatly to our overall positive experience. The highlights of course were Angkor Wat and the nearby temples, the home stay experience, the Cambodian people and of course the delicious food. If you want to see a broad cross section of Cambodia this tour is a great choice.

    I have just got back from a four week holiday in Myanmar by Insider Journeys, and it was sensational. All tour guides were fantastic and do knowledgeable about the area, and history of where I was visiting. This is the second trip I’ve done through Insider Journeys, the first was to Cambodia last year, and both were exceptionally well organised. As a middle aged woman travelling alone, I can not recommend these tours highly enough. I’m already thinking about my third trip!

    Just got back from 2 weeks in Vietnem and Cambodia with private tour organised by Insider Journeys. Never heard of Private Tours but if you want to explore, see, experience and understand a destination, then Private Tour is the answer.
    Insider Journeys had drivers and guides waiting for us, took us everywhere and explained it all. They made this an awesome holiday that we have no problems recommending to family and friends.
    Thank you

    As it was my first time overseas I don't have anything to compare to but in saying that I had the best time ever. The whole trip was filled to the brim with culture, spirituality, humility, great food, the making of long friendships, terrific local guides who were so informative & just great people. I cannot speak highly enough of our tour guide Dave who went above & beyond with all aspects of the tour. Nothing was of any trouble to him (especially for me as I got a tummy bug in the middle of the trip) as he had a wide rang of ages to accommodate. I would not hesitate in recommending the Highlights Tour Of Vietnam to anyone and look forward to the day that I can return to do it all again. Thank you Insider Journeys...

    Our second holiday with Insider Journeys. Thanks to our excellent tour leader we managed to explore a huge part of India ranging from the beautiful Taj Mahal to a Bollywood film in an Art Deco cinema. This holiday seemed to have a "surprise" around every corner! Probably the most exciting and enjoyable three weeks we have ever spent! We are currently planing our third trip with Insider Journeys!
