Amazing service - Thailand trip
We had a lovely experience with the service received from all the team of Asia Highlights (travel specialist/coordinator, guides, drivers). In particular, the representative that organized our trip, Jimmy, was amazing. He was able to prepare our trip in a very short notice and customize it to satisfy all our requests. He was knowledgeable and always replied very fast. We were very pleased with his service and we highly recommend the agency. More

Every Detail Attended To
Our guide, Marie, was so knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She was really attuned to our needs and spoke perfect English. She even brought me a special gift this morning because she knew I was looking for a Christmas ornament representative of Thailand. We did not have to think about any of the details. More

High Tourism Season: Touring Advice for June
June might be the best month to visit Norway since the days are longest and you can experience 24 hours of daylight. The weather is almost at its warmest, the mountain roads are open, the hiking trails begin to get busy, the flowers are plentiful, and the fishing is good.
The highlights are still less busy and congested with tourists than in July. The first 2 weeks of June are relatively quiet compared to later in the summer. The tourist crowds begin to peak before the summer solstice about June 21.
The light and warmth makes it one of the best months for cross-country road trips, hiking, cruises, kayaking, mountain biking, bike road trips, and fishing. It's best to book accommodations months in advance.
The relatively less tourist congestion, lush green vegetation, and the colors of wildflowers in June make for better cruises in the fjords, such as Hardangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, and Geirangerfjord.
During holidays, prices increase for accommodations and flight tickets. It is best to book ahead if you are planning to tour in June, especially around the holidays in June.
