Sundowner have designed four holidays for us so far, with a fifth planned for November. Our latest holiday was in Thailand and Cambodia, and we have also travelled to Tanzania, Japan and Madagascar with the company. The holiday consultants listen to what we want and tailor our holidays to suit us. We have stayed in some magnificent places and enjoyed lots of cultural, historic and wildlife experiences. We would also like to mention that they deal with any issues professionally and are always available when needed. We would highly recommend Sundowner for tailor-made holidays and are very much looking forward to our trip to Peru in November.

I put the subject heading as WOW because we feel like that has been one of our main words we've repeated on so many occasions over the past 2 weeks - it also feels like we've been away much longer than 2 weeks too! Cambodia is truly wonderful, amazing, beautiful! I cannot express strongly enough over email how much of an immensely incredible time we have had here!

Vanessa Hewitt-Griggs, Cambodia

We are so glad we chose Sundowner. The hassle was taken out of everything so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. Lucy was amazing and bent over backwards to incorporate all our requests to build an itinerary to get as much out of the trip as possible. Cannot fault anything. Everything happened seamlessly and the guides used locally were incredibly knowledgeable, we never had to wait around for a driver to collect us between destinations, the hotels were well chosen and over and above our expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending and will use for future trips.

Dawn, Vietnam & Cambodia

Thank you all for making our 30th wedding anniversary holiday celebration. We loved it to bits the warmth of the Vietnamese and Cambodians was inspiring, the culture and geography simply breath-taking and the attentiveness of the staff in general was excellent.

Dave and Jo Carter, Vietnam and Cambodia

We had an amazing time in Cambodia! Thanks to you and the ground staff that organised. It was so varied and so many “firsts”, we can't honestly say what was best….it changes every time we say…
