Customer reviews and what they say

The most important thing we can do to improve our service is listen to what our customers have to say, which is why you can now read their comments unedited on our website.

Upon returning from Southeast Asia all our clients are sent a review form and here you can see what they are saying about their experience of travel to the region and of the service we offered both during the trip planning process and in the build-up to the trip.

Search the reviews, check the image gallery and see for yourself how our clients rate the InsideAsia experience.

Lachlan Woodland

The assistance, information and service provided by Lachlan was very good but I felt he was hampered by some of the policies and procedures of InsideAsia/Japan. He willingly answered all of my many questions although I shouldn’t have been required to ask some of those questions. I felt Lachlan was a class above some of the other consultants, certainly the first one allocated to me.

Accommodation
★★★★

All of the accommodation were in excellent locations, most rooms were of a good size and all rooms were clean. Some of the breakfasts could have been better. The Cross Hotel in Kyoto was a highlight.

Took time to understand what we wanted

Accommodation
★★★

We found the hotels mainly too big and impersonal. The information provided about them was inaccurate as most of them did not really have a restaurant or anywhere to sit in the evenings

All hotels met or exceeded my requirements, although the Washington in Tokyo was soulless and not well located as well as being so large that they struggled to cope with numbers at breakfast

We had a brilliant experience using InsideAsia Tours. Everything went exactly as planned while we were away, all transfers and tours were on time and our tour guides were excellent. All hotels recommended to us were also nice, clean hotels in excellent locations. The communication and information prior to departure was also very impressive. I will definitely be using InsideAsia again for our next trip to Asia.

Lien Dam

Lien did a wonderful job helping us plan our holiday. She took into account our interests, kids ages, budget etc to put together a great family trip we will always remember. She had a good knowledge of Thailand and was able to recommend some really interesting and memorable experiences. Lien communicated with us a lot prior to the trip and even checked in during the trip to ensure it was all going smoothly. I would highly recommend her to help plan your next trip.

Sam was brilliant throughout the process - even when things didn't quite go to plan (airlines suddenly changing their booking deadlines is not great but she handled this well with us!).

From the initial contact to the actual holiday itself, the service provided was impeccable. Everything was as described and as a family with two young children - we had the most incredible tailor-made holiday.

Liam Koehler

Liam provided an outstanding service from the outset - he took the time to listen to what we wanted from our holiday and provided a couple of options, with very honest views on what we could expect. Based on his experiences, we were able to plan an absolutely incredible holiday in Borneo, travelling to different parts of the country, and really experiencing life in Borneo.

Accommodation
★★★★

Pullman Kuching - Excellent location and amazing views. The rooms could have been cleaned slightly better - but the hotel addressed any issued really well.
Nanga Sumpa Lodge - Incredible, basic facilities but exactly as described.
Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa - Beautiful resort in the most stunning setting.
Shangri-La Rasa Ria - Amazing hotel with exceptional facilities. Staff were lovely but the service didn't always feel '5' star e.g. had to queue for the buffet dinner to be seated. Overall really nice.

The trip is great overall, but with just a few misunderstanding. 1st the driver for pick up made a mistake on getting to the wrong terminal. 2nd, the hotel at check in did not understand I got a welcome package and wifi devices, but they apologized when I spoke to the emergency number. The tour guide that was arranged was great and prompt. The guide gave interesting stories and animated. They made up for the trouble by giving me a free lunch. The train tickets were detailed. 20K won of t money card is great overall, but at least 25K could be better. The food BBQ tour is great. The hotel location is awesome near the subway. If I were to do it again, I would choose inside asia. A big thanks to grant for putting together this trip.

Liam assisted us to plan a truly memorable trip. His knowledge and his understanding of our interests were evident in every aspect of our travels, from carefully chosen accommodation to suggested places to visit (and avoid) and how long to spend there including the best time of day and the best months to avoid crowds.

Accommodation

We particularly enjoyed our time staying at Avana Retreat in Mai Chau and Phum Baitang in Siem Reap - both were peaceful locations that were working closely with local communities and taking considerable care with the surrounding environment.
