AST6

Dieter Bredow says:
The tour was very well organised. The tourleaders were punctional and reliable, gave good advise and made sure we knew the rules and traditions of the country we visited. We never had to wait and all was as in the programm and more. We loved the many experiences and each day had another highlight. We couldn't wish for a better trip.
Introduction: Anyone taking this exciting journey will experience sights and sounds that are sure to be etched in your memory for a long time. Not only will you be able to see three of the leading countries in South East Asia, but also compare their fascinating scenery, cultures and rich historical pasts. Thailand begins in the Grand Palace and the canals of Bangkok, followed by the famous Bridge over The River Kwai and then on to Chiang Mai, the jewel of the north, for trekking among the hillside villages. Here we also meet the tribes people, try bamboo rafting and stay in traditional Thai minority village houses. On to Laos, where you will find some of the friendliest people in the world, who welcome visitors with a smile. The highlight of any visit is a trip along the Mekong, and we have chartered a private boat so that you can fully enjoy its scenery and people. There are also trips to Luang Prabang and Vientiane, the capital. In Vietnam we take you to the lakes of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, and to the beautiful limestone islets that have made Halong Bay a World Heritage site. Hue with its great cultural heritage is followed by picturesque Hoi An, a stopover in Nha Trang with its miles of white sandy beaches, and then time in Dalat in the Central Highlands. The tour ends in Ho Chi Minh City - formerly Saigon - a dynamic and energetic centre, and includes a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels.
