What we do
Holiday Indochina is a tour operator that builds private itineraries across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. We plan the route, book the hotels and transport, and put a guide and driver on the ground for the length of your trip, so the only decisions left to you are which stops matter most.
Every itinerary starts from a blank page rather than a fixed template. We ask where you want to go, how many days you have, and what pace suits your group, then build the route around those answers. Two travellers with the same number of days rarely end up with the same schedule.
Who we plan for
We work with couples, families and small groups of friends who want someone to handle the logistics of a trip through the region. Most clients are visiting Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia for the first time, though repeat travellers who already know which province or temple complex they want more time in are just as common.
Group sizes stay small by design. A private car and driver, or a minivan for a larger family, means the pace of each day answers to the people in it rather than a bus timetable set by someone else.
How a trip comes together
You can start with a country, a shortlist of places, or nothing more than a number of days and a rough budget. A consultant on our team turns that into a draft route with a day-by-day breakdown, then adjusts it against your feedback until the balance of driving, sightseeing and rest days feels right.
- Tell us your dates, group size and interests
- Review a draft day-by-day route
- Adjust stops, pace or hotel category until it fits
- Confirm the trip and receive your final itinerary
Once you confirm, our operations team locks in guides, hotels and transport ahead of your dates and sends a final itinerary with a contact number for every leg of the journey. Nothing about the route changes without your say so.
Guides, drivers and vehicles
Guides on our trips are based in the region they show you, not sent out from a head office elsewhere. Someone born and raised near Hoi An knows a different set of streets than a guide from Hanoi, and we match people to territory rather than rotating one guide across an entire route.
Transport is private for the length of the tour: a car, or a van sized to your group, with a driver who stays with you between cities. You aren't sharing a seat, a schedule or a route with another group booked separately.
Support once you're on the road
A phone number for our operations desk goes into every final itinerary, and it stays live for the whole trip, not just office hours. If a flight moves, a border crossing runs long, or plans simply change once you're there, that number is who reroutes the day around it.
Working with local communities
We book homestays, family-run restaurants and small local operators wherever an itinerary allows it, rather than defaulting to chains because they're easier to manage. A meal cooked in a Mekong Delta kitchen or a boat run by a family in Ha Long Bay puts money into the place you're visiting, not just into the trip.
The same goes for guides and drivers: most are hired from the province they work in, so income from a booking stays local instead of routing back to a head office in a capital city.
Plan your trip
Have a look through our [Vietnam tours](vietnam-tours), [Laos tours](laos-tours) and [Cambodia tours](cambodia-tours), or start from a place rather than a route by browsing [destinations](destinations). If nothing fits exactly, tell us what you have in mind and we'll draft something around it.
