(Travelling Period: 27 December 2006 – 7 January 2007)

“I just want to thank you and say that Circle of Asia provided an excellent tour. The guides were excellent and our photographic experiences were truly wonderful.

We were not sure what to expect as we discovered Circle of Asia on the Internet and we were not familiar with Circle of Asia. In the past we typically traveled independently or on occasion on a group tour. Your tour is basically a “private” tour which is the best of both worlds. Your customers avoid being part of large bus groups and are provided a flexible personalize experience.

As you know our goal was great pictures at Angkor Wat. We succeeded so the trip was successful. Each evening we were at a good spot for pictures of our choosing. Sarith was a perfect guide. He was friendly, spoke great English, and really knew where all the good pictures were located. I can’t say enough about him. The hotel in Siem Reap was perfect as well.

As tourists, Phnom Penh and Kok Kong were nice to see once, but not places that we’d ever choose to visit again. We appreciated the free time in Phnom Penh after the much filled days in Siem Reap. Both guides were excellent and we especially liked Ritthy in Kok Kong.

As a traveler and photographer, I’d think a great package to offer would be 4 nights in Siem Reap (flying in and out of Bangkok), perhaps 3 nights in Bangkok with an option to visit Northern Thailand for 4 nights, skipping Phnom Penh and Kok Kong. Just a thought, but I think there are more great sites in Thailand than Cambodia, but of course Angkor Wat is the major attraction.

Chalida Kantayaporn did an excellent job as our Bangkok guide. Unfortunately we had an overcast day, but we still took plenty of great pictures.

It would be helpful in your instructions if you provided a discussion on tipping suggestions. We tipped generously, but guidance would be good. Your itinerary talks about riding bicycles in the Angkor Wat area. Suggest you eliminate this. We did not ride bicycles (didn’t really want to either) and saw no way bicycles would have been helpful when compared to being in a car.

We’d available to recommend Circle of Asia to perspective customers.

Thanks for a great trip.”
