This trip was a terrific experience. We were 8 extraordinary women, all around the same age, and our host, Carmen, was also an extraordinary woman. None of us knew the others before we arrived in Cambodia, and it turned…

I apologize for being late with this response, but I am seeing how much you rely on feedback and want mine to be included in your decisions for future trips. This trip exceeded all my expectations. The daily excursions,…

It was a great trip overall. The Cambodian guide, Narin, was the best. I was less impressed by the guides in Laos. Carmen was also an excellent host, and was able to adjust quickly to changes as they came up, as well as…

I don't normally write reviews and I don't do group tours. Well, rules can be broken if expectations are exceeded. I was very hesitant to book with a group of unknown people, but I figured that this would be a small grou…

This was a once in a lifetime trip. I enjoyed every thing we did. My highlight was of course seeing all the wildlife in their natural habitat. The gorilla trekking was off the chart. I have to pinch myself remembering si…

well, the trip was pretty awesome on some accounts. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Getting to see the Gorillaz was fabulous. But It was probably not my favorite trip. I did meet some really cool people that I’m hop…

An activity-packed trip mixing gut-punching discoveries (remainder of landmines in Cambodia and left-over cluster bombs in Laos) with mind-exploding experiences (sunrise over Ankor Wat and walking with elephants in Cambo…

This was my trip of a lifetime and I can’t recommend EVA Travel enough for the planning and care taken to see that we have a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I took ill during the trip which is frightening when you are in…

Hi there, I am thrilled that I took this trip. It was the first time I ever went on any kind of group tour, as I've always traveled alone in the past, and it was a very interesting experience. I'm still not sure if Inspi…

The tour was well thought out, the locations fantastic, accommodation great. Lots of walking, so sometimes tiring but worth it. Difficult to choose a highlight, but think for me it would be Raithlin Island.
