Here are the most common questions that clients have asked us in the past:
Q. Why do you charge single supplements -
A. We try our best to cater for the needs of solo guests. We don’t ask for any extra
money except if that guest requires single hotel accommodation. All our accommodation
providers charge per room and in all the hotels we use, there are no single-
We only pass on the nett-
We understand that some people just prefer their own space -
We also offer solo guests the option to share with another same-

Q. What do you mean by ‘Small Group Tour’?
Will I just be part of a crowd?
A. Good question !! We limit our tour size to 12 guests. There are a number of reasons
for this.. The main are that at this size we can ensure that all our clients get
sufficient attention from the photo-
We also understand the dynamics
of group travel -
A. Generally yes. There are some exceptions, for instance if you have a passport
from one of the ‘ASEAN’ nations, which will allow you usually 15 or 30 days entry,
visa-
For most nationalities outside of ASEAN, you will require a tourist visa. For entry to Vietnam, this MUST be arranged before you enter the country. You should contact the Vietnamese Consulate in your own country BEFORE you travel.
If you are visiting Cambodia and/or Laos, there are facilities for most nationalities
to obtain a tourist visa on arrival at main Airports and at most land border checkpoints.
Cambodia

Q. Do I need to be an expert photographer? Will I feel out of my depth?
A. Absolutely not! In fact the less of an expert you are -
Our itineraries are designed for all levels of experience: The locations
we visit have been researched from a photographic standpoint. This means that experienced
photographers will be in the right location to shoot. Beginners or improvers, will
receive instruction and advice on how the location and lighting should be translated
into camera settings and will have time to experiment.
We know from experience that the mix of skills of our guests on tour, always leads
to fun and friendly interaction between each other -
Q. What currency will I need? Can I use cards and Travellers Checks
A. For Vietnam, the currency is the Dong (VND). Almost all transactions are in Dong, the US Dollar is accepted at some establishments, but almost always at a poor exchange rate. ATM’s are plentiful and dispense VND, and are generally the best way to obtain cash in local currency, but will charge between 1 to 3 or more dollars.
For Cambodia things are different. The official currency is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), although the Riel is usually only used for small transactions and small change. The US Dollar is the main currency in use. Almost all transactions are in Dollars. Again, ATM’s are plentiful but do have charges of 3 to 4 dollars per transaction. All ATM’s dispense US Dollars only.
Credit and Debit cards are NOT widely accepted in restaurants or bars. Travellers
checks (AMEX USD) may be cashed at some moneychangers or banks, but expect to pay
around 3% commission charge.
Remember though -
Q. What equipment is recommended?
A. Your camera of course! It can be anything from a simple point-
