After soaking in the beauty of Vietnam, we fly to Malaysia, a country of stunning contrasts!
First stop — Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage city filled with colonial charm, historic temples, and the famous Jonker Street Night Market.

Then, it's on route to Penang we visit KL or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s buzzing capital. Marvel at the towering Petronas Twin Towers, explore vibrant street food markets, and take in breathtaking city views from the Batu Caves.

Finally, we journey to Penang, an island paradise famous for its world-class street food, rich history, and stunning beaches. Stroll through George Town’s colorful streets, visit ancient temples, and indulge in Malaysia’s most famous culinary delights.

Eziasiatravel Newsletter No. 1 2025

Welcome to the 1st Newsletter for the year 2025. We have many exciting tours and opportunities planned for you. Below, we have a list of our Escorted Tours up to the end of 2028.
Why so far ahead I hear you say, well people are planning that far ahead and want to lock in their plans and lock in future annual leave. Evidence of this is that we have already SOLD OUT our March/April 2027 Family Getaway to Singapore, Da Nang (Vietnam) and Hong Kong. Those families will be enjoying Universal Studios in Singapore, Ba Na Hills Sun World in Da Nang and Disneyland in Hong Kong to name of few of the inclusions. With budgets tight and time short, Asian holidays are a great option. Approximately, 8 hours away by air and the Aussie Dollar holding value with most Asian currencies, a holiday in Southeast Asia is not only an amazing experience but affordable.

What’s a newsletter, without BIG NEWS? Anyone who has listened to me, read my book or follows me online knows that I am not a fan of those Rack’em-Pack’em-Stack’em Tours advertised by many companies that try and get you to travel from for example, Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and many places in-between in 8 to 10 days. Lots of glossy pictures of iconic, must-see attractions, but the itinerary leaves you with no time to actually take it all in. If you did go from the top to the bottom in under 10 days, you will spend most time actually travelling and not see, taste or really experience the true Vietnam. As you will see in my trip plans, we concentrate on one area and do it well.

More Big News! I developed a tour plan that allows you to see it all, experience it all, on one trip. At this stage I don’t even have a good name for the trip, so my working title is…
“O.M.G Vietnam in 33 days”
Over the 33 days we will only fly 3 times and each time for only around an hour, our time is spent actually on holidays, not travelling between destinations. The itinerary will soon be on our webpage - check it out. www.eziasiatravel.com.au

The other BIG, exciting news is our 1st and 2nd Leg options on our Escorted Tours. We have spoken to many people, who due to time constrains cannot take the 18-or 19-days leave to go on our Escorted Tours. From November 2025 we have broken up our Escorted Tours into 2 legs. For example, our November 2025 Tour is Southern Vietnam and Malaysia.
1st leg will be Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat and Nha Trang. The 2nd leg visits Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and Penang. The full Tour is still available. Leg options are available on all tours apart from “OMG Vietnam”.

Of course, if these locations and dates don’t suit, contact us and we can work out your own tailored holiday.

My wife and I have decided to add an extra tour to the 2025 itinerary in October this year.
We will be taking a small group (maximum of 8 people) to Singapore, Cambodia and Malaysia.
We will be visiting the amazing Marina Sands, Gardens by the Bay and of course a Singapore Sling at Raffles to name a few highlights... then we are off to Siem Reap and a visit to the awesome Angkor Wat complex and surrounding ruins, plus Pub Street and much more ... Then we fly to Malaysia and spend time in KL, Melaka, Penang before a beach holiday on Langkawi.

Dreaming of coffee……

Our group has returned home after an exciting adventure to Hue, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
While they were away they had strong Vietnamese coffee, coconut coffee, salt coffee, peanut butter coffee, egg coffee and Vietnamese drip coffee…..all served with condensed milk! ❤️








🇻🇳

20/05/2024

On the last day in Ho Chi Minh City, our group went on an Authentic Tour.
They visited an underground arms bunker that was used during the Vietnam war. It was hidden under the floor of a shop.
They had very strong but great coffee at the oldest coffee shop in Ho Chi Minh City. They also visited a Taoist Temple that had a wedding photo shoot taking place at the same time as their visit.








🇻🇳


🇻🇳

18/05/2024

Our group went on a full day Mekong Delta Tour.
They enjoyed boat rides to fishing villages on stilts and rode bikes around an island. The tour included snake and bee handling, catfish feeding and crocodile viewing. They visited the Vinh Trang Pagoda, a temple that was built in 1849.
While on tour they tasted snake wine and enjoyed great food.




🇻🇳

17/05/2024

Our team attended a water puppet show and a Saigon River dinner cruise.

Originally performed by the villagers in the rice paddies of the Red River Delta in North Vietnam, traditional water puppet plays tell stories about the Vietnamese folk tales, legends, and significant seasonal events, like the celebration of the rice harvest, and are depicted in a humorous fashion. The stage is literally a large pool of water & the puppeteers stand waist deep in it while performing.
It is definitely worth attending.

After the water puppet show our group did a Saigon River dinner cruise & enjoyed seeing the city by night, while eating an amazing dinner!




🇻🇳

16/05/2024

Some of our group visited the War Remnants museum in their free time yesterday. It was an interesting visit with the Cu Chi Tunnels fresh in their minds.

The War Remnants Museum has 9 permanent thematic exhibitions and various special collections. With nearly one million domestic and international visitors per year, The War Remnants Museum is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most enticing cultural and tourist sites.

16/05/2024

Our team visited the Cu Chi Tunnels located about an hour out of Ho Chi Minh City. One of our group was brave enough to squeeze into one of the tiny entry points of a tunnel!!

The Cu Chi Tunnels are a large underground tunnel system, that was constructed under the jungle and were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous North Vietnamese fighters.

15/05/2024

On the last night in Da Nang, the group took a short car trip to Hoi An and had dinner at Morning Glory. Sitting on the balcony the views of Hoi An at night are so pretty. Morning Glory & Hoi An are one of our favourite places to visit!





🇻🇳

13/05/2024

Our group was taken on tour and dinner excursion by bikes. They had Vietnamese coffees & great food. The tour included Asia Park theme park, night markets & culminated with the Dragon Bridge Fire-show.

The Dragon Bridge is 666m long, 37.5m wide and has six lanes for traffic. On weekend nights, the dragon comes to life in quite an unusual way: the bridge is closed to traffic, and the massive dragon head on the east end of the bridge releases bursts of flames and water in a spectacular night show. The dragon’s head faces the sea for good luck.
