1. Why should you consider private tours to Vietnam and Cambodia?
a. The comfort to enjoy your customized itinerary
Private tours mean you do not have to depend on other people like a group tour – you can customize your wish list as convenient and flexible as you want.

You can design your own plan with friends or family vacation. You can consult reviews online or via friends and be eager to explore primitive or adventurous places.
Unlike group travel tours, everything is planned available. By contrast, for private tours, you have to plan your own trip from scratch – from the beginning, asking for reviews, customizing the trip to the most convenient approach like traveling by plane or car, or staying at a hotel or a homestay, all are in your favor and budget. You can also add your personal touch, or adjust your plan by adding more exciting or reduce the less attractive destinations.
As a result, the final plan will be what you’ve designed yourself to be the way you enjoy it most – it will be much more encouraging and relaxing than group travel tours. And of course, larger group tours via agencies will never enable you to create and customize your journey like this.
b. Higher flexibility for your journeys

Flexibility is for sure in private tours as you are the planner and it is yours. Whatever you want, adding or deleting some places or activities is up to you. Tours can often be extended or booked for consecutive days with the very same guide if you are tired after long distances among the cities or just wish to explore the culture and new places. On the contrary, large group tours with many people have scheduled a fixed plan for that day, there is no much time to stop and take pictures or access closer to the local culture and people. In larger groups, you must follow the tour guide and even run to catch up with them, in order not to be lost.
Flexibility, therefore, is the most favorable benefits of private tours – it all depends on what you want, just inform your tour guide if you want.
