“…..We decided to arrange our holiday to Vietnam with Viet Prestige travel after reading the glowing reports on Tripadvisor and were very glad we did! From the time we first arrived in Hanoi until the last transfer to the airport on our way home, everything was smooth and efficient. Our tour guides were all extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and the drivers were all excellent. Over the course of two weeks we had trekked and explored the north-west part of Vietnam. We are very grateful to Mr. Pham for his advice and attention to detail, it was indeed a memorable experience!….”

Fantastic vacation
– The itinerary was perfect, it allowed us to explore most of North Vietnam
– Everyone from the agent, the guides to local people spoke English quite well
– Hotels were excellent like the one in Sapa, it made me feel like I’m blended into nature as it’s located next to a mountain
– We also had experience seeing how local people in Ha Long Bay live on the water – that’s interesting.
– If I could change, I would extend the vacation to 30 days instead of 15.
