3. Travelling solo isn’t lonely

Many choose our tours because it makes travel so much easier
On our tours you are completely free from the hassle of booking your own accommodation, organising your own transport, finding your own excursions with quality guides. We employ only the best staff with the most extensive local knowledge, so you can rely upon them to find the best places to go for dinner and drinks, according to your needs and budget.

In many places you’ll have the choice to explore with new friends or discover the destination independently if you wish.
The first and last day of each tour are free days for you to arrive or depart. Many clients like to spend extra time exploring the joining cities as there are many sights to see and do which you there may not be time to visit during your tour. Please bear this in mind when reserving your international flights and if you would like to book pre and post tour accommodation or airport transfers (if available), you can book through us.
6. Quality and value
We are proud of the high standards we achieve and the value for money we offer
We take great care to ensure that our tours are the best value for money in the business, and we know that outstanding value means ensuring that all of the ingredients are right, not just the price. Many of the inclusions in our tours are the result of years of careful research to get the right balance of quality and adventure that is best suited to our travellers.
Inclusive prices and included excursions
If you are travelling to distant destinations, you certainly don’t want any expensive surprises or extra costs that you weren’t told about before you booked your tour. Green Discovery Indochina Travel is one of few up-front travel companies that tell you what is included and excluded in our brochure and on our website, rather than after you have booked your tour.
You will find that many included excursions on our tours are chosen for their quality, not their price. On each trip you may find there are some excursions that are not included. This might be because they are not to everyone’s taste or there may be various options of differing value to choose from and we want you to have the choice. There is generally enough time allowed for you to do the options offered, but if you prefer you can always spend some time exploring, sight-seeing or simply relaxing.
7. Make friends with local people
Get out there, meet local people and have fun!
Our itineraries are designed to allow you to become as involved as possible with the local communities we travel to.
Apart from hitting the major highlights of a destination, we also take you to those out-of-the-way local sights that guidebooks don’t know of and many tourists never have the chance to see. We like to encourage our travellers to have a fully interactive experience, all the while respecting local cultures and customs. See our responsible travel policy for more information about how we care for the people we visit and work with.
There is no better way to experience a culture than to learn its language. Brigh a phrase book and try out your conversational skills along the way.
When you embark on your tour or expedition cruise you’ll have new language skills, new friends, more confidence, a deeper understanding of the people and fantastic new insights into the culture of the destinations you’ll be visiting.
On many of our tours you will have opportunities to learn to cook authentic local cuisine in optional classes. There are also optional dance classes such as salsa and tango, and other activities like tai chi on offer, depending on the destination.
8. Activities and excursions
You can enjoy a range of outdoor activities and you don’t have to be super-fit
All you need to join in most of our activities is an adventurous spirit and the willingness to participate and have fun! Few other companies can boast as many included excursions as Green Discovery Indochina Travel – we visit national parks all overVietnam, Laos and Cambodia. There are also many extra options available on our tours – for example you can take a zip line through a jungle canopy in Luang Prabang, or go scuba diving in Mui Ne Sand dunes, cycling to explore ancient Angkor Wat, trekking through the thousand of rice paddies in Sapa… You can also try white water rafting, bungy jumping, snorkelling, active volcano climbing, horse riding and trekking among many other optional activities available.
9. Freedom and flexibility

“Discovery Indochina your way” is our motto and it is something that we are passionate about. We express this passion by giving our clients the tools to discover Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the way that best suits them.
Small private groups – See Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the luxury in your own private vehicle with your own guide and driver.
Group Tours – The modular nature of our tours means you choose can see as much or as little of a particular destination as you like, based on the time you have available. We have carefully chosen departure dates that compliment a wide range of our tours to allow you to combine itineraries in various parts of the continent if you want to see as much as possible while you’re there. Once you’re underway, if you decide that you’d like to stay an extra day in a particularly interesting place, or skip a section of the tour, it is possible to do that and then join your group later on.
Tailor made and customized tours – We specialize in tailor-made and customized travel.
