I have used this agency for my trips to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. The quality of tour program and accommodations are the same every time. This agency has done perfectly in customizing a tailor-made trip. The services are excellent with great guides, very good vehicles, and a serious care. The quality is quite amazing to the reasonable price. I have recommended Paradise Travel to my friends if they are planning their trips to Southeast Asia.
