Just returned from 2 weeks around Vietnam, every aspect of the travel was faultless. From the drivers on time at pickup and to every destination, to the local guides with their knowledge and charisma.

10.0 Family trip to Vietnam
Alex from Paradise Travel organised a fantastic itinerary for our extended family of 10 to spend a fortnight exploring Vietnam from Saigon in the south to Hanoi in the north. The accommodation, transport (including domestic flights), guides and food were of a very high standard and we had a really fantastic experience. Halong Bay was a real highlight of our tour. Thank you!

10.0 An Attentive Organization

For the first time, we used this agency to organize our trip with our 7-year-old son to Vietnam. From the beginning, when contacting via email, we are delighted with the responsibilities and dedication of our travel consultant, Ms Trang Doan. The recommendations we were given, the choices of sites, hotels, and guides were perfect.

Thanks to Trang Doan, we were able to discover Vietnam in all its aspects. The guides in Saigon ("Luck") and Hue ("Son") were fascinating and passionate. They are knowledgeable about history and culture and we gained a lot about your culinary arts. Their French were also outstanding and they were very attentive to our son.

Do not hesitate to call this agency! We will contact them again as soon as we have an opportunity to travel to Asia.

9.8 Amazing holiday thanks to Vietnam Paradise Travel!
Alex Duy arranged a comprehensive 14-day itinerary for us that covered everything we wanted to see (and none that we didn’t) - all at a leisurely, relaxed pace. We visited Saigon, Can Tho, Danang, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi, Halong Bay and many surrounding areas. Absolutely everything went according to schedule, no “hiccups” and not a single thing to complain about. Our guides (Hung in the south, Chang in central Vietnam, and Lan in the north) were warm, personable, extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. They took time to explain the significance and history of each place we visited, which greatly enriched the experience for us. We were also in awe of the drivers in each area and felt very safe as they calmly negotiated the chaotic traffic to get us where we needed to be without any stress (and without excessive use of the horn, I might add!). The hotels selected by Paradise Travel were excellent and well located for some independent exploring during free time. Similarly, the restaurants providing the included meals were first class, with ample servings of a large selection of very fresh, local dishes. Alex greeted us on our arrival in Hanoi, and also drove us to the airport on our departure. His professionalism and customer service delivery was outstanding from our first inquiry until he farewelled us at check-in. We have no hesitation, what-so-ever, of highly recommending Vietnam Paradise Travel to everyone as a trustworthy and customer-focused company.

10.0 Excellent Trip to Explore Vietnam
We found this travel agent via the internet. They were very prompt in responding and were able to customize our schedule with activities we want to experience. They met us at the airport and took us to the hotel. We did an afternoon trip around Saigon and afternoon tour to Cu Chi Tunnels, and spent 2 days in the Mekong Delta. My family (with 3 children) had a private car with a local driver. The tour guides were friendly and they showed us all aspects of Vietnam in both the past and present. Hoi An Lantern festival was amazing and we tried many street food in Hanoi. I would use this company again. Thank you so much!

10.0 Well-organized tour program

We would like to thank you for organizing such a special, well thought-through, perfectly planned holiday for us in Vietnam.

Everything ran so smoothly, your choice of hotels and guides was excellent and we enjoyed every moment in your beautiful country. The Indochina Junk cruise was such a highlight for us and the food provided throughout this tour was outstanding. The vehicles we were driven around in were comfortable and safe and the drivers were cautious and responsible. All along, we kept commented on the excellent planning of our itinerary.

We will be singing our praises of Vietnam and of Paradise Travel to our friends and family. Thank you so much for making it such a special holiday.
