Every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned and customised to our interests, taking care of us from the minute we landed until the minute we departed. Every guide and driver went out of their way to make sure our visit was enjoyable, from having an endless supply of chilled water waiting for us, to making sure I (as a vegetarian) was accommodated so I could enjoy the experiences with my family. Our teens loved the Vespa food tour around HCMC and I loved our bike ride through rice fields in Hoi An, but it’s really hard to say a favourite part as the entire trip was just perfect. We also really appreciated that while it was a full schedule, we always had a good amount of downtime to do a bit of extra exploring at each stop along the way. Would recommend paradise travel to anyone looking for an amazing holiday.More --- Rebecca AdorniAustralia April 19, 2024 10.0Paradise Travel are Exceptional with 14 day Vietnam tour[View on TripAdvisor](https://www.tripadvisor.com.vn/ShowUserReviews-g293924-d8647177-r949517051-Paradise_Travel-Hanoi.html) Paradise Travel helped us so much with the planning of our trip; this was our first time overseas with our two kids aged 10 and 6.
