Remote Lands, Inc

excellent at making sure everything is taken care of...personal cell phone contact appreciated and very customized orientation...also very nice

Shangri La Rasa Ria Resort in Kota Kinabalu was fantastic as was the Kinabatangan River Resort. Raimie our guide was first-rate!

Remote Lands coordinated our trip and made the experience worry-free. All of our transfers and guides were on time, professional, kind and even went above and beyond when a couple of unexpected needs arose. Thank you!

Wonderful experience! This was my daughter’s senior trip prior to going away to college and it was everything I’d hoped it would be. Great guide, driver, travel agent, etc. Overall a very positive experience!!

we had to different tour guides, both were just excellent and well worth the money definitely made the trip more memorable

The Remote Lands Guides were excellent. The cars used for transportation were roomy and clean. The hotels were 5 star and their attention to detail was over the top. There was only perfection from the people we met and it was also comforting to know that our trip was being carefully monitored by Remote Lands supervisors every step of the way. We would recommend Remote Lands to anyone needing exceptional service in Asia.

Terrific professionals! Looked out for us the entire time we were on the road!! Many thanks!

We had 4 different guides (one in each city) and they were all wonderful. We appreciated that they let us be flexible and make game time decisions. We skipped a lot of the "touristy" sites and felt we had a more authentic experience.

Excellent. Guides at each location were friendly, personable and knowledgeable. Want to share a special thank you to Nadia Thakul (Bangkok) & Mr. Buntheun (Siem Reap). After missing my connecting flight from Shanghai to Siem Reap, I called Mr. Buntheun to let him know I was not able tomake it to Siem Reap as planned and for him to notify the hotel. I was flying instead to Phnom Phen and would notify him later of my flight to Siem Reap. Upon arrival in Phnom Phen as I was filling out my visa on arrival form, a Remote Land guide greeted me and told me that Mr. Buntheun had notified the Bangkok office of my predicament and sent him to greet me. As you can imagine being in a foreign land in an unplanned location he was a sight for sore eyes. He got me in contact with Nadia who then took care of the rest of the accommodations (hotel, transportation to/from airport and flight from Phnom Phen to Siem Reap the next day). Assistance provided by Remote Lands got us to Siem Reap on time.

They were terrific.

Our experience with Remote Lands was great. Everything went as planned from the time they met us at the airport until they took us back to the airport. Our guide and driver were fantastic.

Remote Lands employs really great and experienced guides. We wouldn't have been able to navigate so well through so many different countries without their help.

We have had several adventures with Remote lands. They have kept us warm and safe and dry and their guides are top notch, well informed fun travel companions.

Our guides were incredible through Remote Lands! Would highly recommend!

Brilliant guide, driving and attention to detail with museums, food, shopping and sight seeing.

Great. Every aspect of the trip was detailed and executed to perfection . The hotels, guides,drivers and other recommendations were fantastic. I would highly recommend them. Alan

It was our first experience dealing with Remote Lands but will certainly not be our last. Out trip was perfection from start to finish.

Un and Jasmine were beyond expectations. Fabulous trip.

On each leg of this SE Asian adventure I was met quickly, efficiently and with caring demeanor by guides. In one instance Remote Lands hired a facilitator to meet me immediately upon disembarking in Hanoi to fast track me through customs and immigration and get me to my driver and guide. Remote Lands also paid for my overweight luggage since there are no business or first class flights within the smaller SE Asian countries. An important learning experience for me. Each guide became a knowledgeable friend, confidante and remarkable resource for anything I wanted. At one point I decided I was done with temple visits, shoes off/on, etc. and asked Remote Lands to cancel any more temples and instead focus on contemporary art venues and voilà, art venues prevailed. After my next travel experience in Mexico for immersive Spanish, I plan on using Remote Lands in a country where I can continue my new Spanish speaking skills.

Remote Lands were fantastic at executing a seamless trip: there was always a guide, an agent, a driver with a super confortable car waiting for us and escorting us. It is a real pleasure not having to worry about the logistics! They take care of everything. They were excellent at handling last minutes changes during the trip but their response time was sometimes a bit slow during the preparation phase. They provided us with very good restaurants recommendations and made all the bookings for us. In a country like Japan where some places can get hard to get access to, it was highly appreciated. Their network of local guides is fantastic, they were all very nice, knowledgeable and interesting. Overall I would really recommend them if you're looking to plan an high-end trip to Japan.

Everyone we met from Remote Lands went above and beyond for us. Their goal was to make sure we were 125% pleased with everything. They were friendly and accommodating. They changed the itinerary to meet our request - everything done with a smile. When we left an item on the plane Jasmine and her team tracked it down and picked it up. In Bali, Mr Sukrata made sure we enjoyed our tours, learned a lot and that our hotels took care of us. He was excellent. Get the VIP treatment when you land, you won’t regret it.

Remote Lands is all about exceptional service. The best guides/escorts and drivers. The most amazing sites.. The most comfortable, top-of-the-line hotels. Remote Lands listens intently to what you are interested in--and delivers far beyond any expectations, wishes, and hopes. I have had two trips planed by Remote Lands, to date, and definitely will work with them again on future trips. From planning to execution, from listening to follow-through, Remote Lands is The Best.

It was a joy to work with Remote Lands. Travelling to India can be daunting and stressful, but from the planning stage, to getting picked up at the airport, through our trip, and even at departure; remote lands made it easy comfortable and incredibly rewarding. I cannot thank the team at Remote Lands enough, and our guide and driver were honestly the best we have ever experienced.

We were pleased with our tours, guides, and wonderful hotels. Only caveat was that the Ha Long Bay Junk accommodations were not upscale. Not very clean. But the guide on the boat was really good. We were able to go places without crowds—remote beaches, caves. And the food was really good. Hotels sublime in all locations except Ha Ling Bay. Loved the Four Seasons, Capella. All tour guides great! Loved walking through jungle to see sunrise over Angkor Wat Also loved the bike ride on island in Mekong Delta

The Remote Lands team coordinated everything on the ground including a tour guide and driver everywhere we went. Made the trip so much easier and more importantly we saw way more of Japan than I could have done alone. Was a great experience!

Wow is all we can say! We were amazed as to how timely everything was executed. The trip met and exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Hero, was knowledgeable, helpful, and just an all round nice person. He helped us navigate food ordering and gave us a personal experience we won’t forget. He is a treasure with his calm demeanor and patience. Eva was a delight for our Hakone experience. It was a little warmer at the time we traveled but we especially appreciated the driver who met us with cold towels. The accommodations in Hakone was beyond expectations. The Osaka Conrad and Kyoto hotels were excellent. The Kochi hotel could use some improvements (couldn’t provide the number of extra pillows we requested and they were very small). We did enjoy ride on train to Kochi but not sure we would go again if booking again. We however loved going to Nara which wasn’t on our original iternary. Thank you for a well executed and terrific vacation.

Exceptional organization. Made trip very easy and added great value Highly recommend Employees were above expectations

Flights, resorts, and activities all went off flawlessly for our Maldives trip

Our group of six was very pleased with the drivers and guides that RL used during our time in Japan. All were good, and our last 2 guides were superb. They had great depth of knowledge which they shared with us, and they were very nice people to tour with.

Remote Lands took care of us. We were accompanied everywhere including on the bullet train! The guides were superb, friendly and knowledgeable. We liked the variety of experiences- walking through the various sections of Tokyo, learning about renowned Japanese architects like Ando, visiting temples and shrines, and viewing the Peace Memorial at Hiroshima. Loved the vans!!!

Remote Lands provided us with an amazing tour guide, Youngsun Nam, (AKA Angela) for our eight days in South Korea. She traveled with us from Seoul to Busan. What a difference it makes to be able to communicate well. She really engaged, my two young adult daughters and planned a few surprises that we really enjoyed!

The tour guides, Take and Miho, were just the greatest. They were very knowledgeable just about everything. They made it very easy to get around and just provided the greatest service even after hours to ensure we had a great trip. I want to stress that Take and Miho were just amazing. I surely hope their effort and dedication doesn't go unnoticed!

Our guide Assad was amazing and knowledgeable and so friendly!

They took excellent care of us and our needs

We had such a wonderful time on our tour of Japan with Remote Lands! It was truly the best trip we have ever been on! The agenda they set out gave us such a good flavor of the country from the big cities to small ryokans. The guides and drivers were great; each one so friendly and informative. Because it was just four of us, everyone was willing to adjust each day depending on crowds, particular interests and level of energy. One of our group also has a food allergy and, at every stop, special care was taken in the preparation of her food. There were so many beautiful sights and the guides gave us such a wonderful appreciation of the people and the history. The whole trip was so well executed and was truly a joyful experience.

Remote Lands has fabulous guides (and drivers) who not only follow through with the planned itinerary, but are able to adapt if and whenever the client requests an addition or change in the planned schedule.

Awesome adventures with awesome guides.

good and always accessible
