10.0 Family Holiday in Vietnam
We had a wonderful time. We flew between major towns/cities and had a guide and driver at each destination. In total we had 5 guides and drivers and all were excellent - knowledgeable, prompt and friendly. We selected the areas we wanted to visit and saw a good range of different places and some great activities. There's lots to see and do in Vietnam and it's very safe but it's more enjoyable when there's also time to just wander the lane ways and find amazing treasures for yourself!

10.0 My Honeymoon
We had an awesome 5 day-honeymoon in Saigon, which we just finished. While planning, we were initially not sure of going on a tour and selecting remotely. Relying on the reviews, we decided to choose Paradise Travel. From the time, we engaged to plant the trip, the tour agents were very helpful and helped plan my intinerary. The entire trip was customised to our needs. We definitely had an awesome trip throughout. Anyone planning a trip to Vietnam, Paradise Travel is highly recommended!

Great tour, Great chatty guide, Great agency, awesome experience away from the masses on other tours. Despite the drizzle we all enjoyed the leisurely relaxing pace. This tour was the perfect experience and duration was perfect, except for traffic on return journey.
