Our Story
When it comes to our story of how Travel with Leon started, every single team-member would love to sit for hours and tell you that story. But in short, our journey began in 2004 when the young Leon Le came back from Germany. After living there for 12 years and having the chance to travel far and wide, he gained a "multi-perspective view" of everything. So he asked himself why only be a guide and show people one common tourist's trail? With that doubt, he started to infuse his ideology into the mind of people he met along his path. The result? Travel with Leon is proud to announce themselves to be on the market for over 10 years. We are also one of the rare operators who offer real authentic experiences through our off the beaten path tours with highly credited Experience Specialists whose ultimate goal is to become your friend through the trip and ensure you a trip experience that lasts for a lifetime.
Travel with Leon Experience
What makes the "Travel with Leon Experience" outstanding from the others? Frankly spoken, all tours and trips are ... fascinating. All places you will visit are new and exciting to you and you will, in one way or the other, enjoy that trip. However, that is just a good tour, a great tour is when you get back and feel the urge to give that company the highest rating possible. BUT a Greater than Great tour is when you get life-lasting memories by becoming a friend of the places you visited and people you met. We strongly believe that a Greater than Great tour is made 40% of the places you visit and 60% of the person that accompanies and shows you those places. Therefore, our highly credited Experience Specialists and Travel with Leon team will regard you as their friend and have the ultimate goal of becoming your friend in need!
You will start the tour with a handshake but end the tour with a hug! Money back guarantee on that!
Eco and Local friendly Tourism
Ecotoursim is part of Travel with Leon's DNA. Since the beginning, we've worked with local people and businesses in all our destinations. Not only do we feel this gives you the real authentic experiences, it also brings benefits to local communities. As a result, local peopl are motivated to preserve what attracts you, be it their culture, tradition, wildlife or environment. Conversely, we actively avoid "tourist traps". There's plenty you can do to travel the right way, and the first step is to enquire our support.
Our core value
Our core value has been defined right at the start, it is simple and short but has not been changed over the past decade:
Travel with Leon makes people HAPPY!
We make our team-mates happy through our competence in providing a friendly, energetic and incentive work environment. Simply because we care for each team member as we care for our family.
In return, each and every team member will passionately run that extra mile to give you that real experience encounter and make you happy.
That's what I stand for with my name! - Travel with Leon
Our Team
Our team team started from just 1 guy - the "Inspirer" Leon Le, to a remarkable number of 22 within 6 years. However, that was pre-covid outbreak. During the great pandemic we had to cut down our team to 6 members working part-time.
Hope was thin for the whole year 2020 and even with the kind help of clients agreeing on postponing their tours throughout 2021/2022 instead of just canceling them, we could not keep our achievements and had to close down 2 homestays and 1 cafe. Despite the odds being against us, we kept faith in the path we are going and a miracle happened, a client turned dear friend became our investor.
With that boost, our team is back! 6 full-time members and we gave each other the promise that our first great achievement will be getting all former members back into the Travel with Leon team. Next time you visit our website and read this, you might see this picture with one more member on it!
