Selective Asia - Brighton

Sara W.

My family have recently returned from a wonderful Sri Lankan adventure organised by Selective Asia. I was really impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to put an itinerary together, which included all of our hopes and wishes for the trip. My boys absolutely loved the train into Tea Country and seeing the elephants on safari was utterly breathtaking. The orchid house at the botanical gardens in Kandy was a real treat as well. I’m very much looking forward to booking our next trip to Asia and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services of Selective Asia.

Went to Cambodia with Selective Asia. It was the holiday from hell. Cost in excess of £10000. They offered me £200 in compensation. In spite of their claims they clearly don't know much about the places they are sending their clients, and are still sending clients to Viroth’s! Don't let them send you there. They have tried to portray me as petty regarding the broken, cheap, corroded, gel dispenser. They haven't a knowledge that this is DISHONEST.

Had a fantastic trip through Sri Lanka. Great food (seriously!) Lovely hotels and our guide ‘Priya’ was a legend. Very well organised by Selective Asia, I would recommend.

We used Selective Asia to create a family holiday to Vietnam and have to say that it was the best holiday we have ever been on. Whilst I'm not usually one for online reviews, Selective Asia are such a gem of a travel agency that I thought it worth spreading the word.

As everyone knows the key to a truly great holiday is to achieve that balance of discovery and adventure with comfort and security and this is something that Selective Asia delivered expertly. They properly know the lie of the land and ensured that our Vietnamese odyssey had just the right mix of adventure and luxury.

The only real problem was having to coming home and unfortunately the only real cure to this.... is to book another trip!

Selective Asia organised my very best holiday experience of my life! The whole experience of dealing with this company with their in depth knowledge of this continent, with the contacts they have in my particular experience in Vietnam, leaves you feeling very well looked after, the tours and trips we done were brilliant and if I had to say anything negative it would be only to say that driving to one particular trip from Saigon to Mekong Delta was a long time at 4 hours each way, but that is a very slight gripe because the actual Bassac Overnight Cruise has left me with great memories, highly recommend the Vespa Tours in Hanoi and Saigon, because as nuts as it looks the tour guides are very experienced and although it looks crazy when you are amongst the Trafic everyone drives really quite slow, I did not see one person get angry and all of the horn blowing is just warning other road users of their presence and not done in anger at all! Travelled North Vietnam to East, South and West and what a country this is, with what I can only describe as fabulous people, totally safe and non threatening or hassling, for example I’d be happy for my wife or daughter to walk around at night alone with no fear of them being in any danger at all, and the food was superb, the only bad meal which was not that bad was simply chicken and chips and only ate Vietnamese thereafter! Visit Vietnam for sure and if you want it organised to perfection book with
the best Selective Asia call and they will put you in touch with the expert on the particular country in Asia that interests you 👌

We went with the whole family to Vietnam with these guys.. They looked after us at every point we needed them and left us when we didn't..
The pace of the whole tour ,that we decided on together ,was immaculate. We had adventure when we wanted it and we had some downtime in paradise too.
Vietnam is a stunning country and working out where to go and how long to spend in each place was a tough decision, made a lot easier by people who care and who have clearly experienced at first hand what the country has to offer.
I would not hesitate in recommending Selective Asia to anyone.

Really well organised, totally professional and helpful all the way!
we contacted Selective Asia because some friends have booked to Sri Lanka, so we had a look too. Had an idea about Cambodia being interesting, so we contacted Mr Martin Lake at SA. He was really helpful in guiding in our options etc and we assessed a few ideas for trips to do when we got there. With Martins help we very easily came up with our perfect travel options. As time progressed towards our travel dates, we received regular updates and information about our up-coming trip.

At Seim Reap; Our guide, Mr Darlign Srem, was at the airport to meet us, with the driver Pol, and escorted us to the hotel, and he assisted us with check in. Over the next four days everything was brilliant about everything! We were collected on time, and Darlign guided us around numerous temples, markets, floating villages etc - showing us all the must see interesting bits, but allowing us to go at our own speed to absorb everything we saw.

At Phnom Penh; Our guide Ms Van Srei Len and Chiang the driver, met us an got us to the hotel. For the next two days Len and Chiang took us around and showed us Phnom Penh at it's best.
We left Phnom Penh to travel to Sihanoukville, down on the coast. Mr Chiang drove us there and said he would see us again for the return journey back to the airport. He was there exactly on time - just as he said he would be.

Taking everything into account, we thoroughly enjoyed our Cambodian adventure. We would recommend Selective Asia to anyone want to get the most out of their holiday to Asia.

Martin, Darlign, Pol, Len and Chiang,Thank you all very much.

Selective Asia organised an absolutely fantastic honeymoon for my wife and I and they now come highly recommended. From the moment of first contact to the trip itself the whole process was exceptionally easy as well as feeling highly personalised. In addition the cost of such a luxury trip including the exceptional service was incredibly reasonable.
