We just returned from an 20 day tour of Vietnam & Luang Prabang with My Way Travel. Kevil was our travel consultant and He put us at east straight away, which was good as I was nervous about booking long-distance. Everything was awesome, though. From the sightseeing, to te free time, the food and the accommodation, everything was perfectly well-organised and we were centrally located so we could do a bit of exploring on our own too. It was the perfect balance – My Way Travel are definitely experts in knowing how to organise these things!

We booked this tour through My Way Travel, which covers Southeast Asia. My travel consultant, Stephen, put together a trip for us that was so fantastic. We shopped around but were worried that the majority of agencies were trying to book too many activities in too short a space of time. Stephen was completely different – He listened to us and arranged a trip that was to our specifications and suited us perfectly. The guides and drivers that we met along the way were all friendly, knowledgeable and well-organised, the hotels were great, and the entire experience was absolutely fabulous. We had a slight problem with a delayed flight, but Stephen helped us slightly alter our trip so that we didn’t waste any time. We will definitely be booking again with My Way Travel for another tour to Asia.

Mr. Stephen arranged a two-week trip for us to visit Laos and Cambodia. We are experienced travelers who had specific requests and high expectations, and he met both. He was responsive, attentive, and reliable throughout the planning and to the very end of our trip. We saw magnificent landscapes, sampled the rich Laotian and Cambodian cultures and cuisines, and became witnesses to the effects of their tortured histories, especially in connection with the "secret war" and the US bombings. We highly recommend Absolute Asia Tours and Mr. Stephen.

We just finished a 5-week private tour of Thailand/Laos/Vietnam/Cambodia & Burma organized by Discover Indochina - My Way Travel. We have nothing but praise for MWT - Kevil was our travel consultant, he organized us a trip of a life time. Our trip started from Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai, Luang Prabang, Nong Khiaw, Muang La, Vientiane, Hanoi, Halong bay, Hoi An, Siem Reap, Mandalay, Ayeyarwaddy River Cruise, Bagan, Inle Lake, Ngapali Beach, Yangon, Bangkok & Phuket Island. All our guides and drivers were wonderful! I admired Hoang, our guide in Hanoi, he was excellent! Knowing that we were there for such a short time, he changed our schedule to make sure that we got to see as much as possible. It was definitely worth the stop.

Me and my brother with our wives spent three weeks in Indochina. Thanks to Stephen (MyWay travel) these 3 weeks were just wonderful. The planning and booking of the trip was as simple as it could be. I just bought airplane tickets to HCMC and back. Then I started to search for the travel agency on the net, chose MyWay travel. Why MyWay travel - I liked the range of services offered and reviews on TripAdvisor were quite positive. I wrote an e-mail with my wishes and received a reply very quickly. In short, MyWay travel arranged for us everything – starting with visa invitation letter till “see you again” when we were leaving. What I mean by the word everything – here it is: 3 countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos); 7 places where we lived (Saigon, Muine, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Siem Riep, Luang Prabang, Phu Qouc Island); 6 internal flights. All arrangements where just perfect, we didn’t have any troubles, cancelations, misunderstandings etc. Every activity was on time, the drivers and tour guides were excellent, the hotels selected were good! If you’re looking for a well-organized trouble-free trip, we highly recommend you book with My Way Travel.
