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 --- Anna CUS February 27, 2025 9.6It is one of very good Travel Organisation[View on TripAdvisor](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g293924-d8647177-r999817060-Paradise_Travel-Hanoi.html) The company perfect organise for me 3 weeks trip to Vietnam in the places I wanted to visit.

The COVID pandemic forced Vietnam to close its borders, forcing us to cancel the trip while France had not yet banned flights and, in this case, the insurance does not cover it. This October 2024, Paradise Travel reimbursed us in full, demonstrating seriousness and honorable honesty. We sincerely thank them for this. When it's not good, we say it, but when it's good, we must also say it. For the year of the trip, I put 2023 because we can't go back more than one year in the available choices. A trustworthy agency to recommend.More --- Mrs. Elizabeth CostelloAustralian July 31, 2023 10.0Vietnam Holiday Private Tour in 11 Days- We have just arrived back in Australia after our holiday to Bali and Vietnam. I would just like to say that we had a fantastic time in your beautiful country Vietnam. The service you provided us with was exceptional. We even ended up in the Presidential suite on the overnight boat trip. Our tour guides and transportation were all spot on, there was only one small hiccup with a flat tyre, but you solved the problem very quickly. - I would highly recommend Paradise Travel to our friends and will most certainly be in touch with you Liah, for our next adventure.
