Testimonials

From start to finish Vanessa was so incredibly helpful. I am coeliac and vegetarian and Vanessa made sure our Halong Bay cruise and our Sapa tour could cater for me.
She made it all so easy and we had the most amazing trip to Vietnam!
I highly recommend using Indochina Voyages for your next trip.
Thanks Vanessa 😊

From start to finish our Vietnam holiday was brilliant. Van, our travel consultant, was accommodating and supportive of any changes we wanted to make. Our different tour guides and drivers, in each major city, added their expertise to ensure we had a wealth of knowledge about the culture and the history, of where we were visiting. The hotels were beautiful and some of the highlights were the Halong Bay cruise, My Son Sanctuary and the Golden Bridge. Would highly recommend Indochina Voyages if you want to create a unique holiday where you get to choose your itinerary.

Indochina Voyages did a fantastic job planning our first time family trip to Vietnam. For pre-trip planning we communicated through emails and Whatsapp messages. Vanessa worked with us to create a trip that satisfied everyone from 15 to 72 years old. I just wished we had more than 2 weeks. Vietnam is such a beautiful and big country that 2 weeks was just not enough. We had a private tour guide (Tuan in the North and Jun in Central.) Both of them were very accommodating to my sometimes demanding family. My teenage daughters really wanted shopping. They did a great job incorporating it into the already jammed packed itinerary. They took care of the admission fees and tickets which was awesome. Our drivers were very good and we felt safe despite the crazy traffic all around. We really enjoyed our 2 night cruise on the Violet at Ha Long Bay. The Violet is a small boat that accommodates only 12 guests. The food was absolutely amazing. (Not buffet style) The staff was also wonderful. The one thing that I would change if I were to go again is to eat more street food. The restaurants were great but there is something about eating on the street or even in small hole in the wall restaurants that give it the authentic feeling of being in Vietnam. I don’t recommend the large buffets at large touristy destinations like Fansipan Mountains or Ba Na Hills. I would highly recommend using Indochina Voyages to plan your next trip to Vietnam.

Our 8 day trip to north Vietnam was a great success. The whole trip was organised by Huong at Indochina Voyages, who was always quickly responsive by email and attentive to our requests and needs. Our guides were all wonderful: Dong at the airport, Yong for the lovely bike ride at Sa Pa and Mai Li for the trip up the cable car. She gamely walk up the 350 steps with us to the peak. Dat was a truly charming companion for our food tour and walk around Hanoi, and for our trip to Nimh Binh. The final two days on the cruise at Ha Long bay was wonderful too. Mr Ha was our efficient driver and we always felt safe and secure with him on our journeys through the traffic of Hanoi. We were well looked after when we had an afternoon to rest in Hanoi before our flight with a hotel room just for the afternoon.

So in summary, we are grateful for the kindness and attention of our tour organiser and for our guides. We loved Vietnam and would recommend the country, the company, and the guides to all.

My husband and I just finished a 3 week private tour to Vietnam and Cambodia…we have been blessed to travel, and this was our best adventure yet! Last June, we reached out to Indochina Voyages and were connected with the wonderful Van Do. From the very beginning, she was amazing and worked with the rudimentary ideas that we had (some misguided, but she kept us out of trouble!) and provided wonderful recommendations which were spot on. Our tour guides and drivers were the best! The accommodations were unbelievably beautiful and relaxing, and we opted for smaller places. She was so patient with our numerous emails…we can’t imagine working with anyone more kind and capable.

We began in Hanoi, where we were welcomed at the La Siesta Classic, and began with massages, dinner, and a visit to Train Street (a must!) Our guide for northern Vietnam was Lee who was superb…warm, knowledgeable and tireless! We had so much fun leisurely winding our way to Pu Luong and stayed at a retreat overlooking rice paddies, with a grand outdoor tub and patio. In Ninh Binh we loved our accommodations at Tam Coc Garden, which was serene and intimate, with delicious food, followed by a lovely Halong Bay Cruise on the Orchid Classic.

It was then onto Hue and Hoi An. We stayed at Ancient Hue Garden Houses, which was beyond beautiful and luxurious, and enjoyed a very special private Royal Dinner. In Hoi An we went on bike tours to see this historic town and surrounding villages, had clothes tailored for us, enjoyed a private boat at night with the beautiful lanterns, experienced a very cool private cooking glass, and more. Our guide Law was energetic and generous with his time. (On our arrival evening, he recommended a great tailor and he insisted on waiting to make sure we were taken care of. We offered to take a Grab Back to the hotel but he wished to make sure we got back:) One of our very favorite activities Hoi An was visiting the surrounding villages by bike with Chicky…he was awesome!

This is very overdue for Van Do the wonderful job she did to help plan our family trip to Vietnam in December. We are a family of five traveling with our sister-in-laws and cousin and she was able to blend our trips together, as we all arrived at different times. She was able to plan family friendly activities that kept the kids involved. Every hotel recommendation, tour guide and shuttle driver were all wonderful and friendly. We were traveling together for over two weeks, starting in HCMC culminating and a wonderful New Year’s Eve cruise on Halong Bay. I would not hesitate to use the travel agency again when we return.

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 .
