10.0 Private tour: car + driver and guide
Me and my wife had just returned from a two weeks tour in Vietnam. This was a private tour where we made the program and hired the services of "Paradise Travel" to provide transportation and guiding along our way. Alex Duy from Paradise was the person that we worked with for all the necessary arrangements, schedule,payments etc. When returning, we feel that this company and Alex in particular, is very eligible for our recommendation: Their price was very competitive. Always came on time and program exactly as agreed upon. New vehicles, good drivers and excellent guides. In short just to sum up: very reliable and indeed a good quality service.

We had an excellent experience with Paradise Travel. From the moment we contacted them (Ms Helen) until the end of the trip, we had no complains. Our guide, Mr Nguyen took good care of us especially we had my mom (75 yes old) and a young child with us. He accommodated to our needs and made changes to suit us. Will definitely engage their service again!

This company is fabulous. They are very attentive and are always prompt to return emails. It was very easy to make payment with credit card from the United States on their website and the transaction went through with no difficulty. All of our hotels were nice in very pretty and safe locations. I will use Paradise Travel again in the future and recommend anyone wanting to travel to Vietnam and have a hassle free trip to do the same.
