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.

Amy Tadehara

Our trip combined Japan and South Korea. In Japan we were joined by our college-age daughter and her friend. Then in South Korea, it was just my husband and I. Amy did a great job of understanding the two facets of the trip and building itineraries that catered to both the larger group and then to a couple. She was very responsive and detail-oriented.

All the hotels were as expected and as described. However, both the hotel in Hanoi and the one in Sa Pa were exceptional and certainly much exceeded all our expectations

Very pleasant experience start to finish with a very responsive assistance while abroad (we were in Thailand, Ko Samui, when the hearth quake happened in March 2025).

Robyn was amazing planning the whole trip taking into account our preferences. She emailed us every time that she had planned trips and re-directed any enquires to a colleague who could help if we needed to reach out. We felt listened to and most welcome from the very beginning!

Everything was great. Joan was always quick to respond to any and all of my concerns and special needs such as event tickets and transportation.

Accommodation
★★★★

It's hard to comment as standards compared to US hotels are very different. The rooms are very small, as is most everything in Japan compared to here. Of the two, the Nikko Hotel Osaka was a bit better; the room, breakfast, and the over-the-top friendly and attentive staff. The location was also perfect. It was literally on top of a train station and walking distance to shopping and sites. The only small comment was that the hotel controlled the AC temperature in the rooms, and it was a bit warm to our liking. The Mitsui Garden Ginza Premier in Tokyo was a bit older, and while about a 10-minute walk to a train station, it wasn't within walking distance of anything much else. Breakfast was a notch below the Osaka hotel. Overall, the hotels were fine and I feel we got what we paid for.

The consultants know their stuff so our bespoke trip was delightful and exceeded expectations. Although the travel consultant changed over, the level of service and advice remained very high, consequently, we ended up with a tour that ticked all our boxes and avoided some potential pitfalls.

We really benefitted having one tour guide, helped by the same driver and luxury van throughout, which built a relationship and helped him to focus on our interests, needs and preferences. Pat was great, with a lovely sense of humour and a wealth of knowledge. Although his first tour with Inside Asia, his decade of experience, excellent command of English, and a determination to please, made is special.

We were there during the rainy season, and while it was truly torrential at times, it also meant that most of the temples, attractions etc. were almost deserted, which made photography so much better. Also no significant queues.

In summary, it was just what we'd hoped for.

I had a wonderful time touring Veitnam. I enjoyed most the trip to Halong Bay. It was very relaxing. All the hotels accommodation was very comfortable & breakfast was so delicious with much variety. The shopping trips was
enjoyable too as I could bargain the price. The tourist guides were engaging. Trip ran smooth.
