Auasia Travel provides private tours rather than the bus loads we saw pulling up around us...ugh! Our consultant Than was very quick in responding, nothing was too much trouble & he dealt with my itinerary changes & concerns very quickly, professionally & kindly. We were EXTREMELY HAPPY with the kind of service that was provided to us. Would I book with them again? ABSOLUTELY & IN A HEARTBEAT.Less
