Another Absolutely Incredible Trip!
Reviewed By LabFam - Seoul,Busan,Shanghai,Hong Kong,Tokyo,Siem Reap,Nah | Traveled to South Korea | East and Southeast Asia
To describe planning and booking through Thao, a few standout words come to mind:Dedicated, Seamless & Thoughtful. Our family has been extremely fortunate to have arranged travel plans with Thao twice in the last 3yrs. Both trips were multi Asian countries and several cities over the duration of 7wks each. Once with our family of 5 and the most recent ending Aug 17 2025 with 2 more extended family members. Right from the start, it feels as if Thao has his focus solely on your trip with an incredible outline within just days. He is very versed in finding out just exactly what every member might have an interest in and tailoring an agenda with several options to suit. Thao is utmost reliable and always making himself available. This was abundantly evident as we were attempting to get our Chinese passports and as several added questions were hurled at us Thao assured us he would stand steadfast by his phone & help in any way possible, this not only alleviated the stress but he was able to provide the exact necessary documents and emails required. Not only would we book again with Thao, we look forward to booking again with Thao!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Noergia - Calgary | Traveled to Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
We travelled from Alberta to Japan and Thailand for a 3 week graduation trip. The entire travel experience was extraordinary with every detail thoughtfully organized by Thao. From modes of transport, to vacation activities, Thao catered our itinerary to our interests and budget, while also offering his personal expertise on the must-see sights of our destinations. Additionally, as an LGBTQ couple, Thao ensured we felt safe and accepted at all of our destinations and accommodations. Overall, we cannot thank Thao and Live to Eat and Travel enough for making our first trip to Asia so seamless, enjoyable and overall unforgettable. We have recommended Thao to several of our friends and family, and would emphatically encourage anyone to reach out to him for their travel agent needs.

Fabulous Vacation
Reviewed By M & J - Calgary, Alberts | Traveled to Southeast Asia | East and Southeast Asia
From the first time I spoke with Thao, I was confident he would organize the perfect vacation for my husband and I. We were not disappointed. Thao arranged a six week private tour of S.E. Asia for us. He listened carefully to our needs and requests, making changes whenever we changed our minds on details. He arranged a tour which included lovely accommodations in great locations and with diverse sites and activities, allowing us to really see each country we visited. He also included down days where we could relax and see things on our own. Thao also provided us with an incredible amount of extra information regarding transportation, SIM cards, foreign currency, etc. He was very willing to answer any questions I had and go beyond what I would have expected to provide additional information about the places we visited. As well, he responded to an e-mail regarding a slight glitch while we were away and followed up immediately. I would also like to mention that I had originally booked th
