Thach - Tour Leader
On a long road of the region, maybe you'll meet this guy who is very talkative, active and funny, with a hat, red T-shirt and sunglasses on his head. Traveling with him is a fate. He really enjoys his job, just introduces an amazing country for tourists. He can talk whatever you concern in respects and knowledge. We also love him in the way he behaves with colleague and friends.
Huy nguyen - IT & Webmaster
You couldn’t find a better IT guy! The entire office would agree that as quiet as he is, he makes digital harmony, playing and fine tuning his favorite instrument. The only noise he makes is the rhythmic striking of his computer keys. Not only a musician, he is also a doctor, curing all viruses at their first sign or symptom. He could easily spend all day working away designing and re-designing the Indochina Guides website or developing new programs to make everyone’s life a little easier

Tourism is the world’s fastest growing industry. Traveling to far flung places gives us a wonderful opportunity to experience cultures that are so different from our own. But with the wondrous joy of travel comes the responsibility of ensuring that we do not adversely affect those countries that we visit. In a nutshell, Responsible Travel is about ensuring that you, as travelers, and Indochina Guides Travel,as a promoter of travel:
Respect the local culture
Do not inadvertently introduce new social ills and promote & practice environmental responsibility in the places that we visit That way, you enjoy a unique and memorable experience as well as authentic cross-cultural exchange and our local resources, cultures and customs are protected.
How do we operate?
Low impact – we travel in small groups, and eat at local restaurants, whenever possible.
We try to interact with locals. Blend in, rather than stand out.
We respect the different culture and people of the country we are visiting, like honored guests.
We wear appropriate clothing during our stay.
Don’t flash too much flesh! Ask if you’re not sure.
We seek permission before taking photographs/videos, and try to give back rather than just take.
We are environmentally conscious. We try to set an example, without being judgemental.
We help recyclers. We use less plastic and power. We don’t buy coral or endangered species. We try to make a positive contribution through our visit, supporting various organizations and initiatives in the countries we visit. It is usually better to not give to anonymous beggars. |

1. Active
As you'd expect, activity is the key. Though we're talking cycling, kayaking and walking rather than rock climbing or paragliding - we'll leave the extreme sports to the experts! Active trips offer new travel experiences, combining a challenging day's hike, say, with a night's stay in a remote village. You don't need to be super fit for all Active trips, but they're ideal if you want a physical challenge along with plenty of cultural interaction.
2. Comfort
Comfort is your kind of style if you want a few little extras, but don't want to compromise on the whole grassroots travel experience. You get to stay in better hotels and guesthouses, all with plenty of local character, and may travel in private transport as well as joining locals on public transport.
3. Original
Original trips are all about variety: the places, the people, the activities, and even the accommodation and transport we use. From homestays to market trips to visits to community projects, there's a new experience every day, with many activities included.
4. Luxury Travel
The trip offers more luxurious accommodations, transports. Yes, more activities included. High level of service fits your holidays. However, this is the good way to get a new travel experience, interaction with local culture, people, and ways of life and see real world.
5. Family
A long way from the typical 'child friendly holiday', Family adventures give your kids a chance to discover the world as you do. And the best thing is there's just as much for parents to enjoy too. These trips are an opportunity to spend time together in a truly stimulating way.
6. Overland
Big adventures through big landscapes; these journeys take you well off the beaten track to experience the sights, sounds and smells of remote regions up close. Travelling in purpose built vehicles along rugged roads, you'll search for wildlife, visit isolated communities and camp in tents. On an Overland journey you're more than just a passenger, you're part of the crew, pitching in to set up camp, shop for food and even cook. And, like all great adventures, the more you put in the more you'll get out!
7. Special groups
If you, your friends, family or organisation would like a new travel experience but would prefer to travel in a private group, the talented Special Groups Department at Indochina Guides will be able to help.
For groups of 10 people or more we can organise a special departure of one of our advertised trips just for you or tailor-make an style itinerary to one of our destinations. If you have special requirements, that's no problem either - we can give your trip an educational, physical or even an historical focus!
8. Independent traveler
If you're looking for something different (perhaps group travel isn't for you) or you want an extension to your trip, an Independent adventure could be just the thing. These private itineraries can accommodate a special interest, such as cookery or meditation, or can be as simple as a beach break. Transport, accommodation standard and inclusions vary from trip to trip
