Customer Reviews
I work as a local guide in Halong and I took a cruise group on a shore excursion from Shore Excursions Asia. We spent the whole day exploring the bay and then sharing a meal together afterward. The weather was clear and bright which made the limestone cliffs look beautiful in the sunlight, and many guests stayed on the top deck for quite a while just watching the cliffs and taking photos for each other. Later we had lunch in a local restaurant, and the guests enjoyed trying Vietnamese dishes and asking questions about the ingredients and how people here cook. Shore Excursions Asia stayed in touch with me throughout the whole tour and checked in often to make sure everything was going well.
We were highly impressed by your professionalism and commitment to our bespoke tour. You went above and beyond, you were accessible day and night regardless of the difference in time zones. We would highly recommend Shore Excursions Asia to our friends and family when they visit Asia. You were fantastic! A huge thank you. We will definitely contact you again on our next excursions. We are happy for you to share our feedback though.
We booked the elephant sanctuary tour in Thailand through Shore Excursions Asia, and it was the highlight of our trip. No riding, just gentle interaction with well-cared-for elephants in a beautiful natural setting.
