Cambodia and Vietnam with Beach holiday in MUI NE
Despite last minute wobbles and lots of phone calls to Narayan we had the most amazing 2 week tour of Cambodia and Vietnam and a week’s beach holiday in MUI NE as Narayan reassured us, Tour Guides met us promptly at every city, the hotels were good quality, the excursions were also good and at no time did we ever feel concerned for our welfare.

Cambodia & Vietnam tour
Well organised trip with English speaking guides. Hassle free holiday. Hotels were good with good choice of breakfast included. Well received by the local tour company. No language problem. No waiting for the guide at each destination. Only disappointment was two long bus journey from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh nearly 7 hours and Phnom Penh To HMC again 7 hours. If their was an option given to fly then we would have flown. WE would definitely book again with Narayan.

Véronique B.13 days Cambodia and Vietnam
All the hotels were clean with friendly employees, the guides were great even though they have strong accents. The whole trip went smoothly, we felt the whole time well looked after.
Visiting Angkor and Ha Long Bay without forgetting a day tour on the Mekong river leaves us with great memories. It is very important not to forget a good camera and light, strong washable and open shoes, cotton clothing (Clothing is very cheap in Cambodia and Vietnam) since those countries are very humid.

Just got back from doing the 13 day tour of Cambodia and Vietnam. Wasn’t sure at first if this trip would be right for myself and partner.
Turned out we had an excellent time, the places were brilliant, tour guides were brilliant and all hotels were all very clean and very comfortable. We felt secure and were well looked after for the whole trip.
Highly recommend this trip to anyone wishing to explore this part of the world.

Just do it!
If you’ve ever wanted to go to somewhere special and decided to go alone, then don’t hesitate to go with Lumle Holidays.
Despite last minute wobbles and lots of phone calls to Narayan I’ve just returned from a 2 week tour of Cambodia and Vietnam having had the most amazing time. As Narayan reassured me, Tour Guides met me at every city, the hotels were high quality, the excursions were outstanding and at no time did I ever feel concerned for my welfare. I was so touched that Narayan even phoned me in Vietnam to see if I was alright, – now that’s service for you!
I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lumle Holidays again, and I would encourage anyone to do so.

Lume holidays - August 2015 - 3 weeks travelling from North to South Vietnam with our large family
Lumle holidays – August 2015 – 3 weeks travelling from North to South Vietnam with our large family,
We found Lumle holidays to be very professional and friendly. They were really flexible and tailor made the holiday to our specific needs. Our tour was full of so much great stuff and we just could not have put all that together by ourselves. It was such a varied trip and we saw so many different and interesting sights and had some fantastic hands on experiences with the locals. The guides chosen for us were really informative and approachable. They worked well with our children and were understanding of our need to stop and rest while travelling and the fact that with 7 kids, everything takes a little longer. They helped us getting us medicine when we had sick children and bent over backwards to help us have a great experience. They even added extra activities for us that the children liked the look of once we had arrived such as buffalo riding, mud baths and accompanying us to the beach on bikes. We would defiantly recommend Lumle holidays.
Thanks for the trip of a life time guys

Amazing value
This was a Groupon voucher so was a little dubious at first but all contacts with Lumle prior to holiday were positive.
The holiday went without a hitch, being collected at airports, guides arranged for various outings, first class hotels, variety of guides, some better than others and two wonderful countries with so much to offer (Cambodia and Vietnam).
Will recommend Lumle to others without a doubt!

Angkor Wat
The guide spoke English well and was informative. The trip was interesting and varied. We got caught in a shower on one occasion so we were pleased that we had brought an umbrella and a waterproof. We were advised that walking shoes were needed. It was also necessary to cover shoulders and knees in the temples.

Cambodia and Vietnam 13 day tour Fabulous tour at a fabulous price
Good morning Narayan
I wanted to let you know what a fabulous time we had on our holiday! Everything was wonderful. Hotels all very clean and food, staff and all facilities excellent. The locations of the hotels were great and the bus journeys were good too….much better than I expected!
There was someone to meet and greet us at every airport and hotel and the tour guides and bus guides were so knowledgeable and their English was excellent. All hotel reception staff and catering staff were very attentive too. The overnight cruise was so much better than we anticipated….absolutely fabulous and Halong Bay was breath-taking!
I would thoroughly recommend your company to all my friends and family…everything went so well. Could you please put my name on your mailing list for any future offers or special deals as this was such a wonderful holiday?
If you would like to use this recommendation on your website that would be great!
Thanks again and look forward to another fabulous holiday with Lumle…as you know we were booked to go to Nepal and that was cancelled so perhaps next year with Lumle!
Kind regards

Excellent - Cambodia and Vietnam Tour
My boyfriend and I booked the Lumle Cambodia and Vietnam tour after seeing it advertised on Groupon. It was a fantastic trip. Narayan the owner, was in frequent contact with us before, during and after our trip to make sure that we were happy with everything.
Our tour was a mixture of organised excursions with plenty of free time for doing our own site seeing or relaxing. The trip was also good for having a mixture of adventure and touristy stuff. Its good for people of all ages and of all nobilities.
All of our hotel transfers, some meals and entry to excursion sites was included in our fee. We also had our own private tour guides at each location and air conditioned chauffeured car. We only had two group excursions during the whole time we were away!
We were partially impressed with how Lumle connected us with independent local companies in each location which ensured that money was going back to the local economy. Also the hotels picked (3 – 4*) were all involved with responsible travel and helping people in the community.
I have recommend Lumle to all my friends and family since being back and will hopefully travel with them again. It was a fantastically organised trip which was amazing value for money. Thanks Lumle and Narayan!!! 😀

Vietnam and Cambodia 18 day tour
Lumle Holidays made this entire holiday a breeze, I didn’t have to plan or worry about a single thing! I simple listed what I wanted to see and Lumle handled the rest, we were picked up and dropped to every airport and sight we went to and were never lost.
The hotels booked were lovely and extremely central and the tour guides provided were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We saw a number of amazing sights on the trip, the highlights being Halong Bay and Angkor Wat. Only regret I had was not requesting a 2nd night in Halong Bay.
I will 100% be booking with Lumle again for any future Asia visits!

Cambodia & Vietnam tour
When previous booked holiday was cancelled, I was very disappointed as it had been planned for a year, it was a dream holiday for my 60th birthday. I contacted Lumle holidays and within a few hours, Narayan had booked all of the necessary flights and the tour, I was very relieved and he was confident in reassuring me that this holiday would not be cancelled for any reason.
We found the whole experience well organised and all went according to the schedule detailed. The tour guides were friendly and well informed with the necessary information around each destination. The hotels were of high quality and the staff were helpful.
I particularly enjoyed our day trip up the Mekong and visiting the local islands and also the overnight boat trip to Halong Bay,
I would recommend Lumle holidays to others and hope to have the opportunity to book another trip with them in the future.

Cambodia & Vietnam: 13Days 12 Nights With Meals, Tours &Transportation with Lumle Holidays
Fantastic customer service from the very start of our research into the package deal. This formed part of our honeymoon in the Far East of 3 weeks. We really felt pampered and looked after with that little personal touch when Narayan found out it was a trip booked for our honeymoon. The holiday went smoothly as per itinerary. Would recommend using Lumle!
We covered Siem Reap, Phnom Penh in Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi & Halong Bay overnight Cruise in Vietnam. Everything was organised for us from hotel, transfers, tours, entry into sights, and a personal driver & tour guide as per itinerary. We were greeted at every point by an appointed local contact and felt taken care of.

Cambodia & Vietnam Tour - 13 Days
Hi Narayan,
We had a great time. Everything was really good. The hotels were all good especially the last one. The staff could have not done enough for you & the food was excellent at breakfast and in the restaurant. It was a shame about the start but you sorted everything out really quickly and the extra tour we had was really great except for the weather but that wasn’t your fault.
It was really enjoyable on the cruise boat overnight, the food on that was exceptional and the scenery was amazing.
Thanks again and we will recommend you to our friends and you will probably be hearing from us again for another holiday.

Mr & Mrs Benbow
