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.

Rosemary & Christopher, Vietnam and 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 the most fantastic trip to Vietnam with Sundowner. Andrew was very personable and worked with us to ensure we had a tailor-made and varied trip to suit our family. Highlights included the street food tour in Hanoi and cooking school in Hoi An. Everything ran perfectly and all the transfers, guides, hotels and excursions were fantastic - we wouldn’t have changed a thing! This was our second trip with sundowners and it certainly won’t be our last!

Juliet Reid, Vietnam

I would have no problem recommending this company to anyone who wants to go somewhere they have never been. They have lots of knowledge and experience in pulling a fantastic holiday together.

Rhiannon Dunne, Vietnam

Everyone had the most fantastic time and will certainly treasure all the great memories. The guides were outstanding. They all were very engaging and informative. We certainly learnt a lot. The hotels were great, and the beach was just what was needed after a hectic but most enjoyable schedule.

Julia Plumb, Vietnam

Thank you for a wonderful trip. The schedule ran like clockwork, all meet, and greets were prompt and of an exceptional standard. The hotels were just as we had imagined, all slightly different, small and very friendly in great locations.
