Wonderful Vietnam Trip with Vietnamtour We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vietnamtour and would highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. We explored Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, Ba Na Hills, Hoi An and Phu Quoc, and every part of the trip was well planned and executed. A special mention to Quin, our travel agent, who was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the trip. From airport transfers and hotels to food, sightseeing and all the little details, everything was taken care of very well. She was always available whenever we needed assistance, even when we faced an unexpected flight-related issue that was outside the package. The entire trip was comfortable, well organised and truly memorable. Thank you to the whole Vietnamtour team, and especially Quin, for making our Vietnam holiday such a wonderful experience!

Great Hotels, Helpful Guides & Fantastic Support We had a wonderful experience with the entire trip, and a special thanks to Nancy, our coordinator, for making everything so smooth and comfortable. She was extremely helpful and always available whenever we needed any assistance. The hotel arrangements were excellent, with great properties, comfortable rooms, and good locations. The guides arranged for us were also excellent. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, and informative, sharing interesting information about the history, culture, and places we visited. Their friendly approach made our sightseeing experiences even more enjoyable What really stood out was Nancy’s personal attention. Even after our trip ended, she checked on our whereabouts, our return flights, and whether we had reached home safely.
