Testimonials

“We are about to depart Vietnam after experiencing a wonderful week, and wanted to thank you for looking after us so well. The Vespa tours in both Hanoi and Hoi An were highlights of our tour and all of the guides in general were extremely helpful. We would like to particularly recommend our guide Duc in Hanoi, who gave us a fantastic introduction to Vietnam. Not only was his English excellent, but he had outstanding knowledge across a very wide range of subjects, including history, geography, anthropology, biology and the social aspects of life in Vietnam today. He was very welcoming and friendly, as well as punctual and reliable and we would highly recommend him to any English speaking visitors.”

“Thanks for a job very well done. The selection of Hotels and suites was superb, the Metropole in Hanoi Vietnam , was one of the best hotels we have been in for standards and service. The suite was sensational and the manager recognised our 50th wedding anniversary with a huge spray of red roses and a beautiful box of chocolates. The Eastern Grand hotel in Saigon was not up to the standard of the rest of the accommodation . Cambodia was Raffles and brilliant. The guides, cars and drivers throughout with Trails of Indochina were excellent and of a very very high standard and we recognised this with our gratuities. The cruise vessels on Halong Bay and the Mekong were also excellent felt as if we were back in the 1950’s. Meals food service and tours were all of a very high standard. Once again well done and thank you.”

“We had a fantastic holiday – Vietnam was everything that I had heard it to be and hoped it to be. The hotels were all top notch – particularly The Metropole. The Boutique Hoi An was fantastic – a beautiful white sand beach, great pool area, and wonderful newly renovated rooms that were very big – and it was only a 5 minute shuttle to Hoi An itself. The Caravelle was really nice too – though the rooms a little dated. Wonderful breakfasts though. The guides we had were brilliant – it would be hard to do without them. The Ho Chi Minh city tour and Mekong Delta tour were great. The Hoi An walking tour was a bit of a waste of time – we kind of only got taken to places that people are pushing stuff on you to buy, but the farm tour (which I thought would not be great) was so much fun, and a great surprise as it included a cooking class. The tour of Hanoi was also great. The trip to Halong and the overnight cruise I loved – my two daughters and husband enjoyed it but felt there should have been wifi on the boat we were on!!! First world problem!! But I guess its something that is now really important. It appears they state on their website that wifi is available. Vietnam Air was great. Our only issue was on the Vietjet flight – we should have stuck with Vietnam Air – our flight from Hoi An to Hanoi was cancelled – no notification – and we had a rather long wait at the airport for the next one. But all in all a fab time was had by all of us. Thanks for your help with organising our trip!”

“Thank you for organising our fantastic trip. We had an awesome time. The cycling was the absolute highlight. We loved our time in Hoi An. It felt like the honey moon we never had 24 years ago! All the travel went smoothly. The trails of Indochina people were great. The young man we had in Saigon was doing an English speaking exam that afternoon, so he spent the whole day with us, practicing his talking! He is applying to come to NZ with the company, and will come and spend some time with us if he gets on the trip. The whole trip was fantastic and we loved it. Thank you for all the planning. We are such novices but have learnt a lot on this trip. Hopefully we will be planning another one soon. I would love to take the kids back to do the cycling tour. It really was quite magical. Thanks for everything.”
