Our expectations were high, and yet they were exceeded!

April 2018

I found the 16 day "Hidden Charm of Vietnam" holiday on the Travelzoo site. As I read through, it seemed too reasonably priced to be true. With the flights, international & domestic, sleeper train to & from Sapa, cruising 2 days & 1 night on Halong Bay, 2 night, 3 days HomeStay at the Meekong, all accommodation, many meals, all tours & guides, pick up and drop off plus more....all inclusive, it appeared too cheap. I was sceptical and to be honest thought it was a scam. I emailed SVIET Travel asking for verification and I also did my own research emailing Travelzoo. Wherever I looked, SVIET Travel came up genuine so we decided to book. Without exaggeration this was a phenomenal adventure. We had an initial hiccup at the airport but Hien owned it and promptly sorted it out. We travelled from Hanoi, to Sapa, to Halong Bay to the Meekong, to Ho Chi Minh over 16 days. The accommodation was excellent, all well appointed hotels with breakfast. The guides were affable, knowledgeable and had good English. The drivers arrived promptly. As an Australian English speaking couple we were at the mercy of the hotel receptionists and at all times we were given all the information we needed for each day - this had been provided in advance by SVIET Travel. Hien was very easy to work with, whenever I emailed her, she promptly replied and even did so part way through our trip to ask if we were enjoying our time in Vietnam. We, my husband and I would definitely recommend SVIET Travel, and gladly book through Hien and her team again. Thank Hien for providing us with a memorable holiday! Margot

A great experience.

January 2020

Our tour was booked by Realistic Asia thru Travel Triangle. The total itinerary arranged by Realistic Asia was really good. All you have to do is give them the dates and the type of holiday you are looking for and they'll customise the itinerary. The best part is even the smallest details were taken care of. And they ensure that you enjoy your vacation. Unlike other companies, they continuously check whether you have reached all the places correctly, time adherence is of prime importance for them and they are available for any guidance whenever you want. Hotel availability and private transfers were pre arranged, so no waiting for the cabs to come and pick you :) It was a really great experience and Ms Lana from Realistic Asia actually ensured that we make the most of the trip. And yes, Vietnam is really a good place. Would love to settle there.
