“Rundreise Myanmar 1 Woche mit privatem Guide Sensationell!!! Wir hatten einen deutschsprachigen Guide der uns vom Hotel in Mandalay abgeholt hat und eine Woche alles für uns geregelt hat. Er war durch Exotic Voyages (Quynh Hoa hat unsere Reise zusammengestellt) ausgesucht worden. Wir waren in Bagan, haben eine Ballonfahrt gemacht, diverse Tempel und Pagoden besichtigt, 2 Radtouren unternommen, Mount Popa bestiegen, Inle-See, auf dem wir auch genächtigt haben mit diversen Ausflügen. Unterwegs waren wir mit Auto, Flugzeug, zu Fuß, mit (sehr guten) Mountain-Bikes und Rückfahrt mit Schlafbus nach Mandalay. Alles, wirklich alles hat super geklappt, großes Lob an Hoa, an Evaneos und vor allem Jo, unseren Guide. Wir kommen wieder - keine Frage. Danke für alles! Gisela und Karsten aus Hamburg”

“Perfect Honeymoon My wife and I were getting married in January 2020 and we knew we wanted to take our honeymoon in South East Asia. In typically fashion, I had procrastinated the trip planning and only first stated looking into every in mid November 2019. I first came across Exotic Voyages (EV) through a simple google search. It was literally one of the best things I could have done. From the first communication with EV, everything was super simple. We were contacted by travel designer Lucy (Thu Hang). She was fanstastic. We were interested in one of the pre-packages trips "Paradise Unotuched" in Thailand with a few modifications. Lucy was super attentive to our wishes and seamlessly made the changes we wanted. Within a few days the entire trip, including international flights, was taken care of and all we needed to do was send payment. Now to the trip/honeymoon itself. Everything was planned PERFECTLY. Every flight, tour/excursion, transportation was perfectly planned out. We had some issues with out first flight being delayed, which caused us to miss our layover. I emailed Lucy to advise her and she was immediately responsive and relayed the information to the individuals who were meeting us when we arrived in Thailand. We landed in Bangkok and were immediately greeted by an individual with a sign with our names, who then walked us through fast tracked customs (it took 5 minutes!). We were then escorted outside to an english speaking guide and driver ready to take us to our hotel. This is how the entire trip went. Every step of the way we had an english speaking guide and driver waiting for us. All we needed to do was walk down to the hotel lobby at the time provides to us and there was someone waiting for us. The accomadations Lucy picked for us were fantastic. We stayed at Hotel Muse in Bangkok, Na Nirand in Chiang Mai, Koyao Island Resort in Ko Yao Noi, and Sri Panwa in Phuket. Each hotel was fanstisic and very different from each other. We had four completely different types of experiences. Mark, the EV regional manager personally came to our hotel in Bangkok to drop off a beautiful gift from EV. Bangkok was very cityish, Chiang Mai was classy and full of Thai traditions, Ko Yao was rustic and beautiful (we stayed in a tent villa with a fanstic view!) and Phuket was more modern and beach resort like. Each one was better than the next. As for the tours/excursions Lucy planned - hands down made the trip. Again, each one showed a little bit different side of Thailand. We toured Bangkok on Tuk Tuks and saw night markets and street vendors. We went to various temples in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, including a private blessing from a Monk. In Ko Yao we had a private candle lit dinner arrange by the beach. And in Phuket we took a kayak tour in, around, and through the various islands and caves. Every aspect was priceless. Every guide/driver we met was so so so nice. They were all super knowledgeable about the areas we were headed and provides so much insight in the land and culture of Thailand, which really made the trip and provide us with such an appreciation for the country. And throughout the two weeks we were there, Lucy periodically checked in on us to make sure everything was going well (which it absolutely was). The ONLY downside, which is at no fault of anyone, was the fact that to travel from NY to Thailand, we were on flights for 20+ each way. But it was unequivocally worth every second on those flights for the experience we had in Thailand. We cannot thank EV and Lucy enough for putting together a picture-perfect honeymoon. It was such an amazing way to celebrate our new marriage and it was an experience will NEVER forget. The trip felt so personal and EV and Lucy treated us with such great service and sincerely wanted us to enjoy our time. We hope to travel to South East Asia again in the future and when we do EV will be our first call. I cannot recommend them enough!”

“Thailand excursion with Visit to Anantara Elephant Sanctuary My sister and I had 12 amazing days in Bangkok, the Golden Triangle and Phuket. Ha Vy planned this excursion and was with us the whole way. She was always there to answer questions and help us; even when our flight home was almost cancelled! Everything was 5-star at the Anantara Resorts with really good and knowedgable tour guides in all 3 places. Our walk with the elephants will always be remembered. Incredible service by Ha Vy and her staff. Only complaint--wish it had been longer. 4 airplane rides made for a bit more jetlag! Thank you Vy and all!”

“Great Planning Again! This is the second time I have used EV to plan a visit to Vietnam. As before, fantastic communication from start to finish. Special mention to Hoa who managed to get a corrected visa approval letter at literally the last minute. I'm thinking about traveling to Thailand next year. I will certainly use EV again. Highly recommended if you are considering travel to Southeast Asia”

“Another perfect adventure! When I see all of these 5-star reviews for Exotic Voyages, I think “It can’t be true. How can anyone be so good?” But, having recently completed our second adventure with EV, all I can say is “Believe it!” My wife and I have used them twice for travel to Asia. In 2018, they arranged a private tour (me, my wife, a local guide, and driver) for 25 days in Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long, Hue, Hoi An, HCMC, and Mekong Delta). We were so pleased with the experience that we booked them this year (2019) for another private tour (~23 days). This time for Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Hanoi (we love Hanoi). We just returned from this trip and it was another outstanding experience. Our travel designers Tran Thuy (aka Judy) and Thu Ha were outstanding. We listed the types of things we wanted to see/learn, activities we like, and our general fitness level. They responded with suggestions for each area and lodging options at low/mid/high price points. We chose mid. We were able to check each hotel before deciding at which property we'd like to stay. Planning with them was fun, easy, and, in our opinion, surprisingly affordable. Some things that we really appreciated: - Timely communication with EV. Communication before, and during, our travel was outstanding. Several times throughout our trip, EV checked-in with us to see how everything was going. - Visa Service. We chose to have EV obtain necessary visas as we traveled. The process was seamless. Representatives met us at airports, obtained our documents, and whisked us past long lines. - Private Tours. As we saw so many groups following tour guide with a flag, we really enjoyed walking side-by-side with our personal guide. All were knowledgeable of both local history and culture, personable, and had good language skills. My wife says that she’s been completely spoiled. - Itineraries and events. Everything was truly customized to our request. During our planning process, we went through several versions before finalizing our plans. In several cities, we even had EV build-in a couple of days of free time for exploring on our own. - EV travel designers and support. We’ve come to feel like we are working with close friends. They’ve taken time to understand what we like and don’t like and did a wonderful job of matching activities and accommodations to our approval. During our travel, everything flowed perfectly. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experiences and are already thinking of our next trip.”

“32 day bucket list trip across South East Asia with Exotic Voyages In 30+ years of travelling I have never written a review but I feel compelled to recognize the incredible service provided by Exotic Voyages . Every detail was perfect from the planning ,personalized recommendations and seamless schedule changes provided by our trip organizer Mai Phung. All the guides were quite knowledgeable and each one took the time to determine our personal interests and adapt the day’s activities accordingly. We travelled through Hanoi, Ha Long,Hoi An ,Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta,Cu Chi, Siem Reap,Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Singapore by plane ,boat and car without a single problem. That is quite an accomplishment and it illustrates the attention to detail that this company excels at. The absolute best travel experience I have had!”

“Thailand Family Adventure I usually prefer to book my own travel, yet my cousin highly recommended I speak with Vy at Exotic Voyages to help plan our time in Thailand. I am very glad I did! Vy was able to put together a personalized experience that really fit the interests of myself, husband, along with two daughters in their 20s. We stayed at beautiful hotels, engaged in wonderful things each day. From a cooking class, to visits to elephants, to hiking in National Parks, it all occurred smoothly, making for a relaxed and very exciting experience overall. The most exceptional was that each of the tour guides were very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. It was a first time for most of my family to Asia - I am very glad I had the support of Exotic Voyages when planning our travel.”

“Excellently designed honeymoon Exotic Voyages planned the most amazing trip for us. We traveled through Thailand and Vietnam, and felt safe and cared for all along the way as guides and drivers picked us up at the airport, facilitated the customs process, and helped us acclimate to our surroundings. We did a variety of activities, each more wonderful than the next. Speedboat rides, street food tours, Vespa adventures, sea canoeing, tuk tuks, spas, cooking classes, bike tours, fabulous accomodations and knowledgeable, friendly guides! I could not recommend this service highly enough. Lucy listened to our ideas, and revised our itinerary based on our feedback kuntil our trip was just right, and then checked in on us throughout our trip to make sure all our needs were met. We are so glad we chose Exotic Voyages to plan our honeymoon! A truly once in a lifetime trip.”

“Fantastic Trip Organizer Hoa at Exotic Voyages worked closely with us (I'm sure over 100 emails!!) for our 12 day trip to SiemReap, Luang Prabang, Hanoi and Saigon. All arrangements worked seamlessly; all accommodations were great; and all special activities equaled or exceeded our expectations (e.g., river cruises, special lunches, Vespa street food tour). All of our guides were wonderful and the drivers and vehcles good as well. Highly recommend using them.”

“Trip to Vietnam organized by Chi Bui This was a marvelous experience--well-organized and informative, with expert guides. It was a short trip--only 7 days--but we saw so much and stayed in great hotels. I very much recommend Chi as an organizer for a trip to Vietnam. I loved the country and all the accommodations!!”

“Other worldly experiences in Thailand in Cambodia! Would do it again without hesitation My friend did a solo trip in 2018 and raved about his experience. I asked to tag along on the next one. I am so happy I did. Phuong Anh with Exotic Voyages is a superstar. She work with us to shape a custom vacation in Thailand and Cambodia that exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The level of detail from the airport transfers to the accommodating tour guides. We could not have had better tour guides. From knowing shortcuts to the best angles for photos. They were extremely knowledgeable about local culture and historic sites. Working with Exotic Voyages is a no-brainer. I am still processing how we saw so much in such a short time frame with out feeling rushed. By far, the absolute best hospitality that I have received anywhere in the world. Pure magic!”

“The best way to discover Myanmar We had an amazing 3 weeks tailor made trip to Myanmar organized by Hoa. She was extremely good in advising us and trying to make all our wishes reality. Pace and guides were amazing. Looking back, I would still change some small things about our visit to mandalay and a couple of hotels that could be improved, but nothing that can negatively influence our fantastic experience.”

“Thailand and Cambodia WOW! Exotic Voyages Delivered! I stumbled upon Exotic Voyages in 2018 when planning my solo trip to South Asia. They delivered an amazing experience that stuck with me. I was so impressed by Exotic Voyages attention to detail that I decided to head back to South Asia again in December 2019 - this time with 2 of my wonderful friends. Phuong (PA) planned our itinerary - she listened, and delivered a trip that was fun and lead by the BEST tour guides. WOW! Each were on point and touched on all the important details on the sites we visited. I’m already planning my next trip back and will be using Exotic Voyages to help plan my trip - we are friend for life. SO IMPRESSED! AND WON’T EVERY FORGET MY EXPERIENCE.”

Hi Anonymous, We have received your review but we believe you've mistaken us to a different travel company - Exoticca. We are Exotic Voyages and we did not operate any tour like you mentioned in your review. Would you mind revising your review and removing it because it affects our general ratings badly. Many thanks! Kind Regards Exotic Voyages

“Southeast Asia girls trip I stumbled across Exotic Voyages while attempting to plan a Tour of Thailand girls trip when comparing prices with a local travel company I often use for out of the country travel. I found my rep Vy to be very prompt, accommodating and super helpful with answering all of my questions in tailoring our trip, excursion choices and length of days as we wished. We spent time in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, and a last stop in Singapore. We had exemplary service from guides, tours, airport pickups and drop-offs without having to worry about anything. We even added a last minute excursion in Phuket that Vy was also able to arrange. Would I use the exotic voyages team again? Absolutely! I've already referred them to someone else since our return back to TX. The price comparison was actually also cheaper than my travel agency person that I ordinarily use.”

“Great Vietnam and Cambodia Adventure Exotic Voyages knocked it out of the park again! Vietnam/Cambodia was our second trip with Exotic Voyages and, just like our first adventure to Thailand, was fantastic! Our trip started on my wife's birthday where flowers and a cake were waiting at our first restaurant and ended with us enjoying the sunset on a private boat on Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia. It was especially memorable because our eldest son accompanied us. Hoa Tran is a travel guru who has planned both of our trips. We had the pleasure of meeting Hoa and her family in Hanoi and she was a delightful lady. The biggest challenge now is where our third adventure will take us.....we can't wait!!”

“EXOTIC VOYAGES DELIVERS - METICULOUS SERVICE, COUNTRY SPECIALISTS, PATIENCE, WARMTH, GOING THE EXTRA MILE!! I am a traveller who does meticulous research when planning any vacation - I also prefer to book some aspects of the trip on my own. Attending a wedding in Bangkok this past November prompted us to embark on that once-in-a lifetime trip to Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand, Siem Reap, Cambodia and Hanoi/Halong Bay in Vietnam with our adult twin daughters - major foodies!! How would we manage the perfect trip with them in 10 days? A Travel Agent friend recommended Exotic Voyages. I started planning in August with Judy (Tran Thuy) whose knowledge of her areas and sensitivity to our particular needs, were quite remarkable. .This was a kindred spirit planning my vacation - Judy was never too busy to respond to me!! Before she went on Maternity leave in mid-September, the Itinerary was complete - and she gave over to Ha Vy, her colleague, who also epitomised service with a smile. In Bangkok, we were exceedingly lucky to have their Regional Manager, Manop Sakchiraphong (Mark) take special care of us. He is very professional, warm and friendly, with a detailed knowledge of his region - it truly felt like someone in my family, a perfectionist, was looking out for me! Their tours, guides, drivers and staff were superlative - all my personal requests were given utmost priority and the FOOD TOURS were fantastic!! They helped with reservations at all restaurants I wanted and advised candidly on what suited our family. We will always be grateful.”
