  • From our first contact with Paradise Travel till the end of the tour (21 days) it is difficult to find words to explain. Tracey took care of us, she planned and suggested the itinerary, from Hanoi, Ha Long, Hue, Hoi An, Angkor Wat and Ho Chi Minh city.
  • The selection of hotels was perfect. 5* luxury hotels in prime locations where we were within minutes walking distance to vibrant parts of the cities. All tour guides (thank you to Win, My, Ceck and Hung) were excellent english speakers and gave us a profound insight to the history and present of Vietnam and Cambodia. The golf courses we played were the best one can play on. I can and will recommend Paradise Travel - Tracey to anybody that plans to visit this part of Asia.

Vietnam Family Private Tour in 16 days

View on TripAdvisor Reviewed by Louise Harvey, December 30, 2023
  • I initially contacted Paradise Travel/Ms Liah after reading a positive review from a family like mine who had used their service. I was unsure how the planning & booking process would turn out…. I was EXTREMELY happy with Ms Liah’s efficient service. We returned from Vietnam yesterday after 16 days of touring. We flew into HaNoi and travelled south from there. Ms Liah helped me to plan the whole trip from accommodation, a great restaurant for New Years Eve & daily activities with an English speaking tour guide accompanying us on most experiences, this was great as they all spoke great English and told us interesting & relevant things about where we were visiting. Ms Liah also organised drivers to collect us as we moved around most days, they always arrived punctually.
  • The whole process was completed via email & Ms Liah always replied quickly to my questions. She provided several options re accomodation and activities for each place we visited.
  • We will definitely be using Ms Liah and Paradise Travel to book another holiday.

An awesome 3 week experience through Thailand, Laos, Vietman and Cambodia. Planned for us by Tracey from Paradise Travel. Each step of the way was exactly what we want to experience the countries and cultures. The guides were knowledgible the drivers were careful and caring. The days on the boat on the Mekong, and Halong Bay were delightful and enjoyable.
The hotels were selected for the areas and our taste. Each fitting our needs. In ending our Vietnam for Hue,Hoi An and Da Nang- Tu was nothing less the AWESOME he went above and beyond what would be expected from a guide. His knowledge was exceptional. I could not have asked for more.
I could not recommend him and Paradise(Tracey) higher!
