Cambodia Laos Vietnam Tour

Dr Sreekumar Padmanabhan

This is the first time I am writing about a tour agency even though we have been travelling regularly since last 12 years spanning more than 15 countries 

This trip of ours was so well arranged by the Threeland Travels , our correspondence was handled by Ms Stella based in Vietnam, the day we landed at Siem Reap on August 5th, till we left back from Hanoi on August 16, the whole arrangements including the hotel stay, the transportation , the daily itinerary all was done so meticulously.

The guides in all the three countries Somnang in Cambodia , Bounpone Liam in Laos and Chuang in Vietnam were very knowledgeable and so nice to get along

Can go to lengths about this wonderful trip, however ended by recommending the Threeland travels to half a dozen of my friends too

Excellent Guide!

Adrian Kristin Siebez

Exciting and stunning day full of current and past history knowledge. Staying at a Temple location had a minor pickup issue, but Mr Samnang and team provided and alternative pickup making sure we caught the sunrise of Angkor Wat. Tour guides English was amazing and thorough. Definitely needed for the heat to keep hydrated throughout the day.

Everything was very well organized and very smoothly. From the pick up to the each temple visits. I would highly recommend this early morning tour to avoid the heat and big crowd. Our Tour guide Mr Schea was super knowledgeable, about history, culture and best spot to go! He also helped us to take some very cool pictures. When I arrived to Vietnam, i was mesmerized by the charming of reputed city. Everything was amazing! Thanks to Threeland Travel

Interesting and insighful tour

Chungmyung Park

Our guide did a great job of explaining the history and culture of the temples we were visiting, as well as that of the country of Cambodia itself. She also did a good job of checking in on us and how long we wanted to stop at each place based on how tired we was or how hot the sun was shining at that point. She was also very patient and helpful about taking pictures for us. We go on holiday on September 3rd then arrive back to Hanoi on September 12th, everything was terrific. Thanks to Ms Nara and Mr Vu Chinh so much!

Maginificent day

Kumun and Helen Vakie

This was the best tour my wife and I had during our time in Laos - Cambodia - Vietnam. Our guide was excellent and had a great knowledge of the temples we visited and was only too pleased to answer all the questions we had. We were not rushed and to stand in an area that was 900 years old was truly humbling. I'm especially amazed by the compelling outlook of Vietnam. We highly recommend this tour to all.
