In Our Travellers’ Words
ETG look outside the box
They always come up with things that no one else seems to, that's why they are so good. They are original and trying their best to show you the real country and people and not the facade. Great listeners, always a smile and a good banter... exceptional service and insight.
ETG perfectly arranged a complicated itinerary taking the stress away
1 week in Cambodia followed by 3 weeks in Vietnam involving numerous flights transfers tours and hotels which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a well organised itinerary.
Everything we had hoped for and more
ETG really listened and discovered not just exactly the type of holiday we wanted, but also what our particular interests and preferences were, so the holiday was completely bespoke. Our brilliant guide took us to meet Vietnamese people where we saw and heard firsthand how they lived and worked. Too many high points to mention.
