Custom travel, with private driver and guide has become a most popular option with our clients, who have traveled with us for years. Consider the following:

If you took a tour to South America or India, had your own driver and guide, breakfast daily and accommodation at the finest hotel, you would expect to pay a premium price, right?

Not necessarily so!

You will actually pay less than a similar group luxury tour that doesn’t have the personal attention or the flexibility. Experienced travelers are finding the rewards for customized touring to be genuinely positive. A custom tour allows travelers to experience the best of a particular site, according to their personal preferences while a private driver and guide caters exclusively to them. With their private car, driver and guide, the traveler can choose when to begin the tour, spend more or less time at a particular site and can end the day whenever they feel the urge to return to their luxurious accommodation.

All First Cabin group tours include a tour manager, breakfast, lunch and dinner meals each day, with dinner meals served a la carte and gratuities paid to all service personnel. On a custom tour, the client is met upon arrival in each city, escorted to all sites by private vehicle and personal guide, who later sees them off to their next destination. Over these many years, First Cabin has established an outstanding rapport with the ground operators overseas, who take it upon themselves to make certain that First Cabin clientele are well cared for throughout the journey. Breakfast meals are included; lunch and dinner meals are left for the traveler to choose and gratuities are left to the travelers’ discretion as well. This adjustment allows the traveler to receive the luxury of a privatized custom tour at a price that is less than a similar group tour. Rather remarkable, really! First Cabin clients have grown to love the option.

Leslie Eisen of Denver says, ‘I chose Nepal and Tibet with First Cabin. They assigned female guides for me throughout the journey; it was a marvelous experience.’ The Danzigers of New York comment, ‘Burma on custom tour was superb. Our personal guide Daniel accompanied us the entire journey doting on our every need. We still marvel at how First Cabin can offer such a luxurious experience for less than a group tour price for a similar journey. We say similar, since custom touring affords far greater flexibility and a much greater degree of personal attention. We give First Cabin superlatives across the board.

Hal David, an Academy Award Recipient for his song “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” writes, “On three occasions thus far, my wife and I have chosen First Cabin to arrange our custom tour to distant lands. On all of the trips we were thrilled with the services rendered, which really made our holidays very special.” Lisa Miller of Andavo Travel, California says, “I use First Cabin to assist in creating custom tours for my clientele. It has been a highly successful and rewarding experience.”

Established in 1989 with staff experience in Southeast Asia and the Orient dating back to 1963, First Cabin offers both group and luxury custom tours highlighting Asia, the Orient, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Accommodations at the finest hotels offer the ultimate in luxurious service.

This forthcoming November, First Cabin will offer its most popular tour, "Hanoi To Angkor Wat," accompanied by Mr. Robert Kenyon, Marine Corps veteran and President of First Cabin on this, his 21st return visit to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. The tour will visit all of the major highlights within the cities and towns and Mr. Kenyon will lead his group to out of the way sites, normally missed by visiting tourists. The accommodations across the board will be luxurious and will include the Oriental Bangkok, the Nam Hai Resort in Hoi An, Vietnam, the Grand Hotel D'Angkor in Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) as well as La Residence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang, Laos. Seldom, if ever, will you find another tour that includes these world renowned accommodations within their tour package. And, it does truly make a difference where you put your head to pillow after and exciting day's journey.

Regarding the tour, Mr. Martin Colby of La Jolla, CA comments, "I have traveled internationally with some of the finest tour companies worldwide. The most outstanding trip my wife and I have ever taken is one to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, planned by Robert Kenyon of First Cabin. It was an amazing, touching and emotional experience. In each city, we found our accommodations to be incredibly luxurious, with every restaurant a tasteful and sheer delight. The sights were uncommonly rewarding and the tour planning masterful."
