“ We booked a Southeast Asia trip through
Easy Tours that included four countries - Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. The
entire trip was for 27 days. We cannot express what a wonderful trip we had because
of the detail and hard work Easy Tours did for us. Every detail was perfect. The
guides spoke good English, were knowledgeable, courteous, and always on time with
their drivers. The hotels we stayed at were incredible. We WILL book future trips
with Easy Tours and we HIGHLY recommend this company. ”

Thank you for visiting the Southeast Asia section of our website. All tours are not created equal, nor are all travel companies. In true luxury travel there is no 'One Size Fits All' and some travelers will not find us to be a good fit for their needs. Explorers who repeatedly travel with us all seem to share the following attributes -
1. You cherish learning about other
cultures.
2. You value your time and don't want it wasted because of poor
planning and/or execution.
3. You appreciate guides with real expertise, intelligence, and passion
for their nation.
4. Your most treasured travel memories include genuine interactions
with locals.
We use the word ‘Tours’ for want of a better term. Since 2004 the Easy Tours family, both at the destinations we offer and in the U.S., has worked tirelessly to design and facilitate authentic luxury experiences for our guests. About 70% of our guests today are Repeats and Referrals.
No other region offers such a potent combination of incredible natural
attractions and unique exotic experiences. A gentle and endearing Buddhist culture,
awe-inspiring historical monuments, friendly and hospitable locals, along with some of the
world's finest beaches and breathtaking hotels and resorts to stay in combine to make
Southeast Asia a destination that is hard to match.
Southeast Asia is a very diverse destination and has something for all types of explorers.
There are vibrant large cities with endless cultural experiences such as Hanoi and Bangkok,
and extremely charming small towns such as Luang Prabang in Laos and Hoi An in Vietnam.
There are dense jungles, lush tropical flora, amazing seascapes and beaches, as well as
memorable exotic experiences such as time with elephants at responsible camps and
sanctuaries.
Combine all this with fine dining opportunities to try out the local flavors with amazing
regional cuisines wherever you travel. Southeast Asia is a region where all city
explorations illuminate the colorful nature of some of the most prolific street food
cultures on our planet.
Our Southeast Asia Luxury Tours give you opportunities to get personalized insights into the
unique culture by handpicking places and experiences that most tourists will never see.
Easy Tours was born in 2004 with two guiding principles - to provide
the best private luxury tours for explorers from North America, and to always value
our guest's time. We have not sacrificed these principles on the altar of
growth - we still guide just a couple of thousand guests a year total in all the countries
we now call home.
Please take the time to review one or more of our detailed itineraries,
which are different from other tours, to determine whether we are a good
fit for you. The best tour of Southeast Asia for you is one that touches your heart - your
itinerary should make you really want it to start right now!
We know that the best Southeast Asia Tours should include experiences that delight and amaze

expertise and focus on the following:

2. Great rooms at wonderful hotels with excellent cuisine and service.

On our best tours of Southeast Asia, you will experience colorful temples and pagodas,
incredible street food (for those so inclined), breathtaking scenery, colorful markets, and
a lot more, and you will do so with Southeast Asia's best guides and support
staff.
Most of our guests say that the highlights of their exploration included the vibrant culture
and street scene of the big cities, incredible historical sights, the plethora of
picturesque natural sights, fascinating small towns, and the Buddhist traditions that vary
from one nation to another. The memories many of you will cherish are interactions with
locals, which your Tour Director will be happy to facilitate if they know of your
interest.
Southeast Asia offers natural attractions that are dotted throughout the region, starting
from the scenic deltas and rural areas, continuing with the lush tropical jungles and
rivers, with many of our guests ending their exploration at some of the world's most
wonderful coastal regions and beaches.
The best experiences and places for you in Southeast Asia depends on what you most enjoy
most when you explore, and what time of the year you will be exploring. Talk to us if you
would like expert suggestions on what we would recommend based on your individual travel
preferences.
Most American explorers start their journey in either Myanmar
(currently not offered by Easy Tours due to the ongoing violent suppression of its people)
or Vietnam and work their way through Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.
Many of our guests plan an exploration that is focused on either Vietnam or Thailand and add
in the incredible Angkor Region of Cambodia and/or the extremely charming small town of
Luang Prabang in Laos. Almost all the flights between the Southeast Asian countries that we
offer are less than two hours, so moving from one exotic nation to another is easy to
do.
As the best tour company for Southeast Asia, we offer the option to completely customize
your travels in the region - you can tell us exactly what you would like to do, or tell us
what your favorite travel experiences are and our destination specialists will design a
memorable itinerary for you to review.
Those who want to enjoy famous beaches and gorgeous luxury ocean resorts for beach time
and/or water activities can easily select one or more of Thailand's amazing beach
destinations, from the Krabi region to Phuket Island to Koh Samui, or Phu Quoc Island in
Vietnam.
If your goal is to avoid warmer temperatures,
mid-October to mid-April is the best time to visit Southeast Asia, but please note that
temperatures in much of Southeast Asia do not vary much throughout the year and stay fairly
warm throughout. Temperatures at norther destinations in Vietnam and Thailand, such as Hanoi
and Chiang Rai, can be fairly cold during winter. The northern highland regions of Vietnam,
such as Sapa, can even see snow!
The main rainy season in Southeast Asia has traditionally been from late May through
September, but many regional variations do exist. Thousands of miles of coastline keep the
temperatures moderate in the coastal areas, while the weather patterns vary inland. Please
note that climate change has affected the timing of the monsoon and the intensity of the
rains.
Some of these destinations don't have a significant drop in luxury tourism during the
rains and infrastructure exists so as to be able to plan private explorations and
experiences at any time of the year. For example, when the Phuket and Krabi region beaches
are less attractive during the rains, Koh Samui in Thailand's gulf gets very little rain
at that time and is a great option.
Having facilitated the top-rated escorted tours of Southeast Asia for North
American travelers for well over a decade, Easy Tours knows what makes for a truly memorable
exploration. We believe that the three most important parts of the best Southeast Asia tours
are well planned itineraries, great guides, and wonderful hotels.
We are able to offer the best private tours of Southeast Asia for upscale explorers because
we understand what our guests enjoy. Our guests like a diverse mix of culture, nature, local
colors, history, and insights into the everyday lives of the locals. Easy Tours focuses on
providing such experiences.
We feel that the most important facet of the best tour packages in Southeast Asia is your
guide's passion for, and knowledge of, their homeland. It is human interactions that
make up a discerning explorers' fondest memories, not how many sights, or cities, they
visited while touring. Our guests tend to wax poetic about our colleagues, and write many
paragraphs about them in their reviews!
Passion leads to excellence, and our guests interact with people deeply committed to your
satisfaction all through the reservation and travel experience. This is a key reason why
about 70% of our guests are repeat and referral travelers today, and our reviewers
consistently state that we are not just the best tour operator in Southeast Asia, we are
unmatched in the world! Please take a minute or two to read some of our guest reviews. You
will notice that almost all our guests, during their exploration, develop relationships with
Easy Tours' Excellent Guides. We have many guests from over a decade ago that, even
today, maintain relationships with our Southeast Asia based colleagues.
