Testimonials

Just returned to the USA from a 20-day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in mid-February to March organized by Indochina Voyages. It was an amazing, seamless experience through Vietnam from Hanoi, Halong Bay through Hue, Hoi An and to Ho Chi Minh City. It also included stops to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

It was a customized tour for 3 and Thuy of Indoachina Tours was our amazing and meticulous travel consultant who handled our logistics with attention to detail and to our prefences. Thuy not only worked with us pre-travel, but kept in touch via Whatapp during our trip answering questions, setting up last minute changes and requests. We truly felt like we had a friend in Vietnam. Thuy was professional, friendly and so supportive. I highly recommend Thuy and Indochina Voyages.

I can’t recommend Vanessa Luong (Ms.) from Indochina Voyages highly enough!

Vanessa planned my Vietnam trip to perfection—every detail was tailored exactly to my preferences, even though my itinerary didn’t fit a standard tour. I gave her a list of everything I wanted to see and do, and not only did she make it all happen, she suggested even more amazing experiences I hadn’t thought of.

She seamlessly arranged travel by plane, boat, train, and car across multiple destinations, and even coordinated meetups with friends in different cities. Vanessa found the perfect spot to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Hanoi and organized an unforgettable birthday celebration for me on Ha Long Bay.

When I arrived in Hanoi a few days early, she met me in person and took me to two great local spots—The Notes Café and Bun Cha Ta, a Michelin-rated Bun Cha restaurant. Knowing I wanted to visit Hữu Tiệp Lake (B52 Lake) and the B52 Victory Museum (two items I omitted from my list), she made sure I got to see both before the tour officially started.

Even when a sudden trip to the ER happened, she immediately adjusted my plans so the impact was minimal.

The tour guides she arranged were fantastic. Each of the three regions I visited had its own guide and driver, and every single one was exceptionally knowledgeable. They shared fascinating history, gave great shopping tips, and recommended the best local places to eat (and what to order).

If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to her!

We had an unforgettable 15-day trip in Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Hue, and Hoi An) thanks to Indochina Voyages. Although it’s possible to plan independently, choosing a local agency helped us maximize our time and experience.

Vanessa did an outstanding job coordinating all transportation, domestic flights, tickets, luggage logistic, and local guides. Every detail was well planned, the trip was smooth and stress-free, and everything stayed within our budget. We even received complimentary accommodation upgrades.

Throughout the journey, Vanessa stayed in touch via WhatsApp, managed transitions between cities seamlessly, and was incredibly responsive, even at 4 a.m. when our airport driver was late. We saved both time and money, and the overall value exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

I have visited more than 40 countries and I often hire private guides. We bought a 13-day luxury private tour from Indochina Voyages, and we were very happy, especially with Van, who is the sales agent who handled everything from the 1st email to travelling with us to the Hanoi airport on our way home. She was willing to tweak things along the way to make sure we had the best time possible.

For me, the foundation of every trip is the combination of hotels, meals, and guides. On this trip, all were excellent. I do not want to stay at the nicest hotels in Vietnam, many of which are the same as all of the hotels in the US where I regularly stay. I want to stay at the nicest Vietnamese hotels. Von booked us with many very nice hotels with lots of old Vietnamese charm. It’s hard to have a bad meal in Vietnam.

My only thought about the food was that a couple restraurants were tourist places. The food was excellent, but it made us feel like we were part of the group tour, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid when we purchased the luxury private tour. We were in big rooms filed with tour bus crowds. Van said she will try to avoid that in the future.

The guides were excellent. Unforutunately, one of the guides cancelled and Van had to find a replacement. She was a very sweet woman and my wife loved her. However, I was unable to understand much of her English.

I have been to so many museums and temples around the world that I now get bored. I want to see all of the sites, but I do not want to spend more than an hour or two at a temple or a ruin. I much prefer activites, like the tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City, spending a night on a Sampam in the Mekong Delta, or an overnight cruise in Halong Bay. Plus we did a bike ride and we rode on a couple small boats on other days. The activities were excellent.

The price of the Vietnam tour was good, and the trip was excellent. I expect to visit Cambodia, Thailand, and Loas early next year, and I will hire Van and Indochina Voages again to organize a private luxury tour.

We had a short but wonderful 7-day trip across Northern Vietnam, beautifully arranged by Ms. An Hoang from Indochina Voyages.
Every detail was taken care of ,from comfortable stays to fully organized vegetarian meals throughout the journey.

Our itinerary covered Hanoi, Mai Chau, Pu Luong, Ninh Binh, and ended with a magical Halong Bay cruise. A big shoutout to our lovely guide, Ms. Linh, who made the experience even more special with her warmth and knowledge.

We’re heading home with unforgettable memories of Vietnam’s hospitality and charm. Looking forward to returning for a longer trip next time!

Thank you, Indochina Voyages, Ms. An Hoang and Ms Linh .

We had an excellent 10 days road trip from Hanoi to Halong bay ( 1night boat trip included) than to Ninh binh( 2 days Tan loc) than 2 days in Sapa than 1 night in Ha Giang.. 1 night in Dong Van.. 1 night in Bao Lac.. than finally 2 nights in Trung Khan… mr.Son was great driver and very calm under all circumstances thanks to him 🙏🙏🙏 ms Hue Nguyen was a greatest trip planner i was ever met. She was on line every time and helped us what we needed. Thank a lot ms Hue and mr Son 🇻🇳👏👏

As eight ladies traveling through Vietnam, one of our dreams was taking a cruise in Ha Long Bay. And we got so lucky to have met Ms. Hue Nguyen of Indochina Voyages who transformed our trip into a princess’s dream. Not only we had the best cruise experience we’ve dreamed of, but we had the best 8-day tour through North Vietnam. Everything was perfectly organized and I believe we were accompanied by the perfect driver, Mr. Nguyen Truong Son! He was kind and efficient, he took us through some difficult routes carefully and safely. I definitely recommend the company for any custom-made trip through Vietnam and I would like to thank Ms. Nguyen and Mr. Son for their endless and kind assistance.

Our friends highly recommended this company as they had great trip in October. We adapted their itinerary and with consultant An Hoang customized our trip. Our 23 year old daughter joined us and An arranged for large hotel rooms with extra bed. We had local guides and drivers in each region, starting in north (Hanoi ,Sapa), Nin Binh and Halong Bay; central (Hue, Danang, Hoi An), south ( Ho Chi Minh, Mekang delta, Cu Chi tunnels) and Cambodia (Siam Reap/ Angkor wat). The itinerary was well paced with excursions that were historic, scenic, food-related, via boats, walking, vespa and bicycles. We had internal flights to maximize our time in each region. Our guides were each knowledgeable, interesting and varying degrees of fun! It was great to have a van and driver as we could store our daypacks safely during the day and it was such a luxury to be picked up and treated to ice cold water and refreshing towel. Our consultant regularly checked in with us to ensure everything was going well. We felt very well taken care of by everyone involved. Our accommodations were all well located, within walking distance of restaurants, shopping at night. We were very happy with the breakfasts and lunches included on the tour. This was a well organized, well executed private tour. We had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Indo China Voyages!

We had a fantastic three week trip through Vietnam ( with a quick diversion into Cambodia for Angkor) organised by Indochina Voyages, and the magnificent Minh Vu. Hanoi, Pu Luong, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Siem Reap, Saigon, Can Tho/Meking, Phu Quoc. The only thing that DIDN’T go well was the weather in the North. I was very disappointed that Minh didn’t fix that for us. Otherwise, a smooth, brilliantly organised trip from start to finish, with Drivers and brilliant Guides for each region (big recommendations for Mr Long in Hanoi, and big “Tom” Lam is Saigon). Ask for these guys if you go there!
Excellent planning support, recommendations and suggestions, and communication prior, lovely accommodations. Great value for money. Can’t recommend Indochina Voyages highly enough, and particularly Minh Vu to sort it all out for you.

We have just returned from a 19 day customised tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. A trusted friend recommended Indochina Voyages to me after she went on a trip organised through them in the previous year. We started in Hanoi, (including a trip to Halong Bay) then down to Hoi An, across to Siem Reap and Phnom Pehn in Cambodia and finished back in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
From the very outset of making email contact to request an itinery for a trip to the delivery of actual services on the ground in each of the places we visited, nothing was too much trouble and all went seamlessly. First of all a HUGE thank you to Minh Vu who took care of all the planning of the itinery in consultation with myself via email. The end result was a bespoke holiday customised to seeing only the sights that we wanted to see.
The hotels recommended and meals included were all great. The Guides and Drivers in each of the locations were excellent. We felt very special having our own guides and drivers. It made the trip more personalised and memorable.
I cannot recommend Indochina Voyages highly enough to anyone wanting to holiday in any of the Indochina countries.

We chose Indochina Voyages based on reviews from people who had traveled with them and information about the company on their website. All this allowed us to conclude that this company is solid and has a good reputation. I prepared a preliminary plan for a three-week trip from north to south, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and sent a request to the company. A day later (!) I received a response from their consultant (Ms Thuy Do) with various suggestions on how to improve the travel program. And from that moment on, we were in the strong hands of a professional! We worked on a detailed tour plan for about two weeks, and it was an amazing collaboration – I received suggestions and comments within 1-2 days! She knew absolutely everything: opening hours of museums, domestic flight schedules, which places are most interesting to visit, etc. She also gave us advice on obtaining a visa and valuable recommendations on preparing for the trip. I also want to note that during our entire trip she was constantly asking on WhatsApp if everything was okay with us. In the few cases where changes were needed, all problems were solved immediately. We have been traveling for over 30 years, and I have never received such service! All our guides were professional, but I especially want to mention Quinh (Kwin) and Tho (Tolya) in Hanoi and Ms Ngon (Maria) in Dalat. All the drivers were experienced and the cars were in perfect condition, with two bottles of water each day.

A little about the trip itself. We started in Hanoi, a very interesting city. From there we took a two-day cruise along Halong Bay. It was an amazing trip and a must-see when visiting Hanoi. One day was dedicated to exploring the picturesque waterways in Trang An. From Hanoi we moved to Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam. Here we dedicated the whole day to exploring the citadel, the famous Thien Mu pagoda, the symbol of Hue, and some of the imperial tombs. All this is very impressive, and certainly worth a visit. From Hue we headed to Hoi An, a charming 16th century port city. From here we made radial trips to the valley of the My Son temples, the Marble Mountains, the Bana Hills entertainment complex, etc. The next stop was Dalat, the pearl of the whole trip. I highly suggest visiting this place if there is the opportunity. And finally, Ho Chi Minh with a mandatory visit the Mekong Delta and the Cu Chi tunnels.

In conclusion, our trip was great mainly thanks to Indochina Voyage and their consultant Ms Thuy Do. I highly recommend this travel agency.

Just returned from a 10 daytrip to Vietnam organised thru Indochina Voyages. We visited Ho Chi Minh City , Da Nang and Hanoi. Thrip was coordinated through MsThuy Do their travel consultant. She meticulously planned the whole itinerary and the associated hotel booking , excursions and transportation arrangements. Everything went off like clockwork and was ably assisted by excellent tour guides. In particular , I would like to commend Ms Vy for the Mekong Delta Tour, Felix our guide at Hanoi and Lee who accompanied us on Trang An river outing. They were exceptionally friendly and explained the sights in detail and made sure we were comfortable. The Halong Bay overnight cruise on La Casta cruises was beutiful. Our gratitude to our driver Hoa of La Casta who drove us to Halong Bay and back . He was kind enough to return to the hotel in Hanoi the next day to hand over the Wimbledon Cap I forgot on the bus. Overall the trip was excellent and stress free and Ms Thuy Do kept in touch with me on Whatsapp from the time we arrived in Vietnam till we left . Thank you Thuy and Indochina Voyages for making it a memorable one
