This was an absolutely amazing vacation. We traveled to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. We had never been to SE Asia and had no idea what to expect. In each location, we had incredible guides who were extremely knowledgeable and related to my 15 year old son with ease. The choices made in terms of hotels, sites to see, etc were great overall. In two instances, we determined we wanted something different and everyone pivoted quickly to accommodate us! I cannot speak highly enough about each aspect of our tour. Mr. Time in Thailand was unbelievable, his knowledge of the country, history, and he's a foodie!!!!. Mr. Dat in Cambodia is so passionate about history; and Hue in Vietnam brought culture to us in just a few short hours. All were also great photographers! We have told many people about this trip and I'd recommend it to any and all. We felt comfortable and learned so much throughout the entire trip. It was a great balance of lots of activity and some down time. The experience with my son was wonderful. We made two changes to the trip, midstream. The first was in Thailand on the Kwae River. We were staying in a barge hotel on the water with no electricity/AC, etc. I knew this up front and thought it would be fine. That said, given the heat, etc, we moved after one night to different and beautiful lodging. (Wetravel accommodated us quickly!) I'd recommend asking about upgrading here, especially in the middle of the hot season. The other was in Cambodia when we determined we would prefer one day of ruins and one day other exploring. On our day exploring, we went to the Landmine Museum which turned out to be the most impactful experience for both of us during our time in Cambodia. Again, we are truly grateful for the incredible experience we were provided. It brought memories that will last a lifetime and beyond. 5 stars all around! Thank you!

Had an amazing experience meeting the people at the schools and getting to know the families we travelled with. South Africa is an incredible country whether your in the main cities or out on a reserve. The people are very welcoming and have a lot of pride in their communities. The safari experience is one of a kind. The people at the lodge were so sweet and made you feel like family. The game drives are worth the early morning wake up. Not only do you experience beautiful sunrises and sunsets, but you get up close to wild animals and never know what you will see on a drive. The rangers are all very knowledgeable and will explain what they are seeing when tracking. The only part we did not like, was saying goodbye. After the safari lodge, you catch a plane to Victoria Falls to see one of the seven wonders of the world. After walking along the falls taking in the breathtaking views, you'll sit at a cafe over looking the Zambezi River. There, you can sign up to do a tarzan swing, zipline, or "fly" on your stomach like superman over the gorge.

What an experience! Thank you Jeremy for all of your organization, for utilizing such knowledgeable guides and planning. The only suggestion I would have would be to warn people of all of the tipping required and especially that the tipping should be in US dollars. I was totally caught off guard and felt bad when I ran short of dollars.

Our trip with the Simmons was amazing and we enjoyed their top-notch service. We're excited for our upcoming trip to Brazil and Argentina this summer!
