Thoroughly enjoyed two weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia with Travel Talk Tours. Our guides Trong and Sal made moving around their respective countries seamless and we were able to pack so much in, whilst also having the freedom to customise our experience. Traveller, the guides and group environment made me feel safe which was particularly welcome as I was travelling along. Trong was great at recommending food and services whilst Sal was particularly passionate about his culture and country which made our time in Cambodia uniquely memorable.
