Most amazing trip of our life

13-Jul-2023

Hi Thanh! Jordan and I just got home a little while ago and are already reminiscing on the most amazing trip of our life. Thank you so much for your wonderful planning and having Nam on the ground throughout the trip whenever we needed anything was amazing. We cannot wait to come back to your beautiful country one day! And for any friends that are looking to go to Vietnam, we will most definitely be recommending they go through you.

Richardson family group  

LOVED their entire trip

29-May-2023

The Richardson group just LOVED their entire trip! All the hotels were perfect for them - great locations, not too fancy but very nice hotels, and thank goodness for the pools. The guides were all outstanding, in particular Ha in Hanoi. It was a shame it was just so hot so we skipped a few day tours, but we just had the best time. Thank you so much for all of your organising.

Jordan  

Absolute best time

13-Jul-2023

Thank you for such an amazing experience in Vietnam. We had the absolute best time and we really appreciate all of the hard work that Nam and Thanh put into planning our experience. We love you your country and can not wait to return!

Incredible Vietnam trip. Nam and his team went above and beyond to make this the best trip I've ever had. It exceeded my expectations. Communication was exemplary and I now will be rebooking.

Wendy Vlaar   New Zealand

An amazing experience of Vietnam

13-May-2024

Nam and his team of local guides were fantastic. All hotels and day tours/transfers were ‘on point’. Everything on time and Nam was genuinely concerned that everything was what we hoped for and going well. We put a lot of trust in Nam and we were never disappointed- thank you Lang Thang Travel and guides for an amazing experience of Vietnam!
