Sundowner Holidays Reviews 

A really easy company to work with. They suggested a supa schedule for us to tour Vietnam and Cambodia which we fine tuned and added too. The flights they arranged for us were exactly what we were after - they really listened to our requirements. The holiday itself was fabulous. All the hotels suggested and booked by Sundowners were exceptional. And the drivers and guides were the best - really friendly, informative and full of local knowledge. It all worked seamlessly and we couldn't have been more happy. Thank you Sundowner Holidays.

Each element was tailored to our needs. It's obvious that the team behind Sundowners are passionate about travel and providing the best experience for their customers. Every transfer was seamless, every hotel perfect and each activity well organised and enjoyable. I won't hesitate to use them again.

Excellent attention to detail by the office staff and the local staff in Vietnam. As a result everything went smoothly and even a typhoon did not cause major disruption to our holiday. The hotels were beautiful and we particularly liked range of accommodation styles that Sundowner chose - homestay, resort, city hotel. We would very strongly recommend Sundowner to anyone looking for a private tour.

Everyone we spoke with at sundowner was amazing from the get go, they helped me plan every section of our honeymoon and were extremely responsive throughout! They were really knowledgable about the areas I wanted to stay and have great recommendations for accommodation and things to do whilst we were in Zanzibar. As I was not familiar with Zanzibar at all before booking, the detail in the itinerary you get sent was so helpful. All our transfers were prearranged for us making getting around the island seamless. They even went above and beyond by helping me organise special surprises for my husbands birthday with the hotels directly. They really took into account everything we wanted from our trip and it felt so tailored to us, we got everything we asked for and more. The places we stayed were better than we ever could have imagined and it wouldn’t have been the amazing trip it was without their help, I would highly recommended booking your next trip through them! Thank you so much everyone! X

We've used Sundowners for two holidays now, both for a group of eight people - one to Sri Lanka and the other Malaysia/Borneo. On each occasion they have been brilliant so I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a great adventure!

Our trip went like clockwork? Flights , transfer everything. The trip exceeded our expectations, drivers and guides were friendly and helpful. The guides on the river and at the lodges were brilliant, their knowledge was exceptional, in particular ‘Ron’. The food cooked for us by the local women at the jungle lodges, was delicious. We were looked after every step of the way. Even when we couldn’t remember what we were doing next our guide did, it was a fantastic trip, the highlight has to be seeing the orangutans in the wild, as well as the sun bears, elephants, crocodiles, 3 million bats fly out of a cave, flying lemas, flying squirrels, proboscis monkeys, storks, horn billed toucans, numerous exotic birds, insect, snakes, we feel so lucky thank you

Lucy and the team helped us plan an amazing trip across Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Responses to emails were swift and patience with requests for changes and questions during planning were no problem. We stayed at a number of different lodges across 3 countries and hired a vehicle. All went smoothly with no issues. Would not hesitate to use Sundowner again.

Fantastic company to book a trip through. Really helpful, quick responses to any queries and very friendly staff. Our trip to Borneo was faultless. Everything went so smoothly. We simply had the best trip ever.

We have just returned from our first trip to Thailand. We absolutely loved it. Andrew put together an amazing schedule and added some trips we would never have thought of. The guides and drivers were brilliant and it made for a very relaxing trouble free holiday. He also arranged for ice boxes to travel with us for some medication. We would certainly recommend and use Sundown Holidays again.

We have just returned from a brilliant family trip to Costa Rica arranged by Lucy at Sundowner Holidays. The whole trip was organised brilliantly and completely met our expectations and more. This is the second time we have used Sundowner Holidays and would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Just returned from a bucket-list holiday to Borneo tailored for us by Lucy at Sundowner. This was our first Sundowner holiday, and will definitely not be our last.
We liked the fact it was easy to look at the different options, and we ended up with something that suited us very well. A short stay in Kuala Lumpur, followed by a week in the rainforest photographing the wildlife, followed by a week on Gaya Island relaxing on the beach. From seeing what other couples ended up with it seems not all travel agents are created equal, we soon appreciated the level of detail in the booking, from A/C in every room to letting the hotel know it was my birthday. The in country reps and details went seamlessly, quite often others were left waiting for their driver to turn up, ours were always there. Before we left for Borneo we had the chance to visit the Sundowner office, and they are as nice in person as they are online. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company, and will be booking our next adventure soon with them.

We have just returned from celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary with a fabulous 3 week adventure in Laos and Thailand,
This is our 5th holiday with Sundowners, each time they have provided excellent well placed boutique hotels and great excursions all with trouble free connections and knowledable guides.
Our sincere thanks go to Hannah and James for puttting this itinerary together for us and we look forward to planning our next trip with Sundowners

We’ve just returned from our holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia which Andrew organised for us. The transfers and guides were all top quality, lovely hotels always in very good locations. Andrew suggested some unusual tours such as a street food tour by Vespa in Hue and a rice cultivation tour in Hoi An - the trip was a good balance of city and countryside, tours and free time.

February 1st to 19th 2025

Hannah turned our specified itinerary for SriLanka into a bespoke tour and holiday. The small owner managed hotels were comfortable, interesting and full of character.

Sundowner’s representatives in SriLanka made the holiday run smoothly. Our driver for the duration of the holiday used his knowledge, experience and local networks to our advantage arriving at destinations at the right time, avoiding crowds and increasing chances of wildlife sightings

Overall a fantastic holiday, consequently we have no hesitation in recommending Sundowner.

Lucy at SunDowner could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Communication and information supplied were excellent. Everything was meticulously planned and executed. Really could not have asked for more from Lucy and the company, and would recommend them without any hesitation.

This is the second time we have used Sundowner to arrange our holiday. This time we went to Thailand in January 2025. Our holiday was organised by Andrew who took time to find out what we wanted to tailor make our adventure.

In Thailand everything ran smoothly with on time pick ups, very knowledgeable guides and super friendly people. Highlights in Thailand were a 3 night river cruise on River Kwai, time in Bangkok, 2 day trip to Ayutthua to see palaces and temples and beach time in the island of Koh Yaoi Noi and then onto Krabi.

A really amazing holiday thank you to Sundowner.

We worked with Andrew to pull together a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka. He took onboard our requirements, budget and he added some great suggestions to make it a memorable holiday. Our in country guide was so knowledgable and really made the trip come together seamlessly and the accommodation was 1st class. This is our second time of using Sundownerholidays and we will definitely use them again.

Sundowner was recommended to us by friends who had travelled with them to Costa Rica, and we had a similarly great experience with the firm (specifically Hannah) arranging a family trip to Penang and Borneo. It was our first trip outside Europe as a family, and a real help to have arranged this through people who really knew the areas we wanted to visit. Hannah was brilliant in coming up with an original outline and very happy to tweak it as we went through several iterations to get the holiday exactly as we wanted it. Everything worked incredibly smoothly when we were on the holiday, and we had a fantastic trip - would highly recommend both Sundowner and Borneo for a family holiday that offers a mix of wildlife, culture and relaxing.

I was recommended Sundowners and they did not disappoint. They were genuinely interested in making our recent trip to India as special as it could be. From their office in Shoreham to their representative/driver/accomadation hosts in Kerala everything was amazing. THANK YOU SUNDOWNERS we would not hesitate to recommend you.

Sundowner staff are amazing. I had huge problems with KLM changing my flights three times and Hannah, with the help of Cheska and James had to rearrange my plans. Brilliant staff. Travelled to Kuala Lumpur and Borneo for the trip of a lifetime. Top tip - Wi-Fi is not free in all of the lodges and even in Kuala Lumpur some places charge. Buy an eSIM before you go. Gayá island resort is overpriced - stock up on snacks before arrival.
