For scaredy-cat travellers like us, using Indochina Voyages to organise everything was a blessing in disguise!

November 4, 2023

Everything from go to woe was organised promptly and professionally by Van, she was very prompt with any any queries we had before we left. Accommodations that were recommended to us were all stunning and Long our tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge and a very proud Vietnamese man. We were lucky enough to meet up with Van at Train St in Hanoi and saw the train which was a highlight for me. We chose the Dragons Pearl for our cruise of Halong Bay, only 20 people plus staff and the food was absolutely 5 star, it just kept coming! Cabins are small but very comfy. I will definitely use Van and Indochina Voyages when we return to explore central and South Vietnam.

Cultural Highlights of Vietnam

October 29, 2023

Our 14 day Vietnam Cultural Highlights trip was most enjoyable. My husband and I decided to go only a week before departure. Minh Vu was incredibly attentive and professional planning our tour and went over and above when it was touch and go as to whether our Visa would come through in time. He made contact via email throughout the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly.
We travelled with our own guide and driver which made the trip flexible and to suit our requirements. The guides had very good English and shared their great knowledge at all times along the journey.
Jayden, our guide in the south was so positive and enthusiastic given the grim history of the American war he shared with us through Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. We had our best bowl of Pho for the trip at a local restaurant he recommended.
Steve, our guide in Central Vietnam had an incredible knowledge about the Kings. The history was fascinating. He was very caring and attentive when our flight was delayed due to heavy rain. We had the best Bahn Mi of the trip from a street side shop in Hoi An bought by Steve.
Our third guide, Long, in the north was so interesting with his knowledge and explanations about places and history. He was flexible with our itinerary when we were delayed with no issues at all. He was chatty and friendly on our longer drives to Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay. We loved our food tour through the old town of Hanoi with Long.
The highlights of our trip were:
1. Our cooking class at Jessica’s Kitchen in Hoi An.

2. The food and boat trip in Ha Long Bay with the spectacular surroundings

3. The row boat trip at Ninh Binh through the caves in such a magical setting.

The hotels chosen by Minh were all of an excellent standard and each one had its own special features.
The staff at Victoria in Hoi An, La Sinfonia in Hanoi and La Siesta in Ho Chi Minh were particularly friendly and attentive.
The Vietnamese people were so friendly and helpful everywhere we went and always had a smile.
We loved our trip and would highly recommend using Indochina Voyages for their level of professionalism and personal care and planning.

An Incredible Trip to Vietnam and Cambodia

August 7, 2023

We are a family of five with children ages 15, 18, & 20, and we recently returned from a 17-day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. We started planning this trip pre-Covid and were finally able to go this summer! After considerable research on places, travel agencies, etc. I decided to go with Indochina Voyages and am so glad that I did. I worked with Minh Vu to plan the trip and he was excellent. He considered all the information and preferences I requested and produced a trip that was exactly what we were looking for. We had incredible guides and drivers in each location. Always professional, on time, and knowledgeable about the people and locations.

Our first week was in Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Halong Bay. We loved the northern area of Vietnam, and our guide Snow was exceptional! She had amazing recommendations, information, and took care of even the smallest of details before we thought to ask. A couple highlights from this area were the Hanoi markets, bicycling in the Ninh Binh area, climbing to the top of Dragon Mountain, the lotus flower fields, and of course our cruise in Halong Bay. Minh booked us with Indochina Junk, and we had a private overnight wooden junk boat cruise. It was so much fun, and we highly recommend it!

I also want to thank Minh and Snow for making our daughter’s 18th birthday so special. We arrived in Hanoi on her birthday and Snow greeted us with flowers and a basket of fruit. They also made sure the hotel was aware of her birthday and the hotel, The Oriental Jade Hotel, had a cake, flowers, and drinks prepared. I had not even mentioned it was her birthday, and they noticed from her passport that she was turning eighteen. This extra attention to detail is what made the trip even more memorable.

After Halong we flew to Hue and spent a couple of nights each in Hue and Hoi An. Our guide Steve did a wonderful job introducing us to both cities and was able to help us find exactly what we were looking for at the market. A highlight was the night market and lanterns in Hoi An. We then flew to Siem Reap and spent a few days exploring the ruins of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Banteay Srei. Our guide Sarath was a knowledgeable historian and a great photographer as well. We learned a lot and were awed by all the temples. We stayed at Viroth’s Hotel while in Cambodia and loved the amazing service and terrific location. From Cambodia we flew to Ho Chi Minh and spent our last few days there exploring the city and visiting the Cu Chi historical district. Our guide Jayden was very flexible as we made some last-minute changes to the schedule. He had great energy and even took us to a favorite coffee shop which was a highlight.

It was a fantastic trip and we were amazed at how smoothly everything went. Minh kept in touch to make sure we were happy with how things were going along the way, and each guide was good at tailoring the day to our requests. We highly recommend Indochina Voyages!

Amazing 4 weeks trip through Vietnam

July 25, 2023

My wife and I had an amazing trip trough Vietnam which started in Hanoi and brought us via Ninh Binh, Ha Hong Bay, Hue, Hoi An to Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc. We appreciated the culture & hospitality and made many exiting experiences.

Key contributor to this memorable trip was the team of Indochina Voyages or better said Hue Nyguen who helped us to put together the trip and orchestrated everything from the back office during the entire trip as well as our guides Sinh, Dan, The, Sang and drivers Hai, Trung, and He.

We received excellent service and help in planning and organising our trip and experienced a high degree of flexibility, responsiveness and professionalism. By combining proven recommendations with our ideas Hue has put together a trip which was fully based on our needs. She coordinated everything and was also available during our trip for questions, recommendations or even adjustments or extensions of our plan. Also a shout out to our guides and drivers who have made our trip special with their empathy, knowledge and humour. From start to finish we always felt of being in good and safe hands.

We can only recommend you get in touch with them if you are planning a trip to Vietnam or that region.

10 tour of north Vietnam

April 17, 2023

Amazing service. We had a 10 day family tour of Hoi An and Hanoi including the surrounding mountain area of PuLuong and NinhBinh and Halong Bay. The guides were excellent and provided the perfect mix of education, activity, fun and relaxation for our active family We really felt like we got to experience Vietnamese life in many of the beautiful rural and urban areas. We loved both our guides Kent and Snow and can not say enough about what good care they took of us and our three children 12, 14 and 16 years old. The drivers were also excellent

5 Star Travel Company

April 14, 2023

We used Indochina Voyages for probably our 5th or 6th time this past March/April 2023. They are the most amazing company to deal with. Tim (Owner) and Minh (Agent) were fantastic at answering all of our emails and numerous questions. We travelled to Hanoi and Halong Bay in Vietnam, Siem Reap in Cambodia and Chiang Mai, Thailand for 3 weeks. Everything went without a hitch! We even decided we didn’t really like one of the hotels we had requested and Tim and Minh had us moved to another hotel we had stayed in on a different trip, within a few hours making everything seamless. Every airport transfer, day trip, flight was organized leaving us to relax and not worry about a thing.
If you are planning on taking a trip to SE Asia at any time, please consider using Indochina Voyages. They have become our family. We can’t wait until we go again.

Wonderful Experience

April 9, 2023

We have just returned home from a 25 day trip to Vietnam. After requesting information from a number of companies I connected with Ms. Hue Nguyen at Indochina Voyages as she provided the most detailed and professional response. I was organizing 3 tours for multiple groups and Hue’s support and organization for our tours was flawless. She responded to my many questions, organized our tours, and provided direct payment access to the participants which took me out of the loop of collecting money.
We had a day tour to Mekong Delta (tour guide Minh), a 2 day 1 night cruise to Halong Bay (tour guide Peter Parker), and a day tour to Tam Coc/ Mua Cave (tour guide Vito). We have been to Vietnam a number of times with tours to each of these areas and wanted to share these experiences with our group travelling for the first time. The tours exceeded our expectations in every respect.
All tour guides were extremely professional, personable, and engaging with lots of information and stories. The activities and food were amazing. And of course the non-stop beauty of Vietnam scenery can’t be beat. We were in Vietnam for a wedding so on the Halong Bay tour, Hue (our tour consultant) arranged for special decorations in the honeymoon room. It made everything so special.
A huge thank you to Hue Nguyen for all of her help and to our tour guides who made our days delightful. We had a wonderful time, and when we come back I won’t hesitate to contact this same company for our tours.

Great Tour Company, Highly Recommended!

October 17, 2022

I booked my Ha Long Bay cruise and Hue city tour with Van at Indochina Voyages, and it was a fantastic vacation! Everything was perfect, and the cruise and tour was better than I expected. There were no hiccups with the trips and our drivers were never late for our timed pick ups and drop offs. Also, our guide for the Hue trip, Tran, was exceptionally well knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour. Very insightful and full of facts and points! When my friends book their trips to Vietnam, I’ll be recommending Indochina Voyages to them for all their tour needs.

Vietnam Discovery

April 2, 2020

were all excellent. He was so informative and attentive and put together an amazing holiday for us. We decided on 12 day private tour which included Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh and Mekong Delta. Trip was seamless, internal Flights easy and most of all the Guides and Drivers we spent time with were fantastic. Joe showed us Hanoi and took us to Halong Bay for our cruise and then took us to the airport for our flight to Hue, he introduced us to street food (delicious) and we learned so much through his passionate personality. In Hue we met with Tai, his English was great, very experienced and he showed us many interesting places, we drove over the mountains to Hoi An and spent time exploring. Our 3 day stay in a beach bungalow at Palm Garden Resort was so enjoyable. When we arrived in Ho Chi Minh we met Cody, a young, charming and funny young man who we loved spending time with and he gave us so much information, we laughed a lot and shared many stories, we have contacted him and the others since returning home and shared photos. Minh Vu organised great accommodation and a wonderful itinerary. We highly recommend Indochina Voyages to experience a memorable holiday.

Top-Notch, Custom Vietnam-Cambodia Tour

February 29, 2020

We used Indochina Voyages for a 17 day custom tour of Vietnam and Cambodia – Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, HCM City and Siem Reap. From the first inquiry to the final send-off, their service was excellent. As we planned our trip, they listened to our interests and requirements, offered helpful advice and prepared a first-rate itinerary to meet our needs. We threw in a couple late changes, which they handled with ease. On arrival, their top-notch service continued with flawless airport transfers and knowledgeable guides at each of our stops. Hotels and restaurants were well-chosen and met our standards for quality and comfort. We had a couple hiccups in our return travel plans and even though Indochina Voyages was not responsible for booking our international flights they stepped in to help us make alternate arrangements. All-in-all the trip was a wonderful experience and left us wanting to stay longer. I highly recommend Indochina Voyages if you’re considering travel in Vietnam or nearby.

Worry Free Tour of Vietnam and Cambodia, This is an excellent company!

January 31, 2020

I can highly recommend Indochina Voyages! We just came back from a 20-day custom designed Vietnam and Cambodia trip that was well organized and stress free.

Originally, I started looking at small group tours. I found them very expensive and many used an overnight train from Hanoi to Hue (not for me). In researching I kept finding people that used Indochina Voyages for private tours and spoke highly of them. I decided to email them with my dates and places that I wanted to see. The reply was prompt and they worked with me to plan a trip that included a Halong Bay cruise and a 3-night Mekong river cruise.

After deciding on an itinerary and hotel style, we were given a price in US dollars. It included a private guide and driver who met us at every airport, hotels that included breakfast, tours, cruises, inter country flights etc. This was just perfect for a first-time visit. The entire trip went as planned and Daniel from Indochina Voyages contacted us numerous times during our tour to make sure we were happy. He even made a point of meeting us in Hanoi for coffee.

Here is how it worked for us:

We contacted Indochina Voyages by email and together planned the trip.

When we arrived in Vietnam a guide met us at the airport (they had a sign with our names). The guide and driver took us to our hotel and helped us check in. That same guide and driver stayed with us showing us the sights until our flight to the next destination. At the next airport a new guide and driver would be with us to explore that area. Can you imagine how nice it was for just the two of us to see everything privately with just a guide? Affordably luxury! We never felt like we were being herded around as you do on a group tour. All the vehicles had aircon, were roomy, comfortable, and water was provided. Our drivers were excellent, and we appreciated their calm maneuvering on such chaotic (to us) roads.

Our itinerary detailed what we would see, what meals were included (beverages like beer, juice and soft drinks are always extra). There were never any hidden charges. Great care was taken to ensure the restaurants we went to were good for tourists and had clean toilets.

This was a wonderful trip and Indochina Voyages made it extra special for us. Thank you to Huyen and Daniel at Indochina Voyages and to all our guides who each in their own way, created very special memories.
