Lee our guide and our driver Hung were both very helpful and accommodating and showed great knowledge which gave us opportunities to experience a wide range of experiences.
Our TripADeal was such an amazing experience and one I would be happy to book again. Every place we went to was spectacular especially Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh. Our tour was very well run by Son and his expertise and consideration for all of us made the trip so special. The bus driver also was great and we felt very safe especially when travelling long distances. I highly recommend Vacation Indochina travel!
The boat tour on Ha Long Bay was an absolute highlight! The staff were friendly and attentive. The onboard catered dinner on the sundeck was fantastic and a must do. The rooms were exceptional! In addition to this the landscape is magical! You will visit surprising cave, which is well worth the walk, and swim in the beautiful calm ocean waters. I highly recommend this trip!!
It was well organised! Food excellent Our guide, Cong! Was excellent, knowledgeable and very organized and informative!
We had the most incredible holiday and the BEST Guides ever! Thank You Bobby, Nam & Hang for making our experience so positive and memorable, we will never forget your hard work & wisdoms.
Halong Bay was simply incredible! What an amazing and beautiful part of the world. Such unique landscapes and beautiful water. Our guide Son was extremely informative and helpful. His vast knowledge of the local area and history made the experience all the more enjoyable. Son is a great guide. The junk style boat was large, the rooms were spacious and very well appointed. All meals were excellent and the dinner in particular was delicious. The staff on board, led by "Happy Buddha" were exceptional - special shout out to "Windy" who is a very polite and funny young man and an asset to the company! Highly recommend this tour - truly unforgettable!
Cruise around Halong Bay went to the caves by tender boat and on a row boat under surprise caves seeing the monkeys was amazing. All the staff were very helpful especially with my dad as he was the oldest on the tour and tour guide Huyson looked out for him making sure he wasnt left behind.. Onboard the cruise the staff were so friendly caring and acommodating.. Food was fantastic and plenty of it. The cabins on board were very nice especially for an older boat and looked vintage but beautiful. Would definately recommend this tour
Very enjoyable . Son was amazing
One of the best experiences , Bobby was great with his professional team and we enjoyed every minute of it .
CongN was our guide and helped to make it one of the best experiences of our lives. The Halong Bay overnight cruise was absolutely unforgettable.
Absolutely loved our trip exploring the north of Vietnam! A huge shout-out to our tour guide, Johnny/Tưởng, who was amazing from start to finish. He went above and beyond, taking us to so many incredible places, sorting out extra bits and pieces for us, and giving us great recommendations for food and shopping. His fun, bubbly energy made the whole trip even better! Mr Minh was our driver, and we felt safe with him every step of the way. His bus was always well looked after, with water on hand for us the entire trip. Couldn't recommend this trip more!!
Had the most amazing start to our journey through Vietnam for the first 10 days Hanoi, Halong bay, Ninh Binh and Sapa. Our guide Bobby went way beyond just being a guide with incredible knowledge of the places we went. His sense of humour, help, kindness along with a cooking demonstration made our time in the North exceptional. Thank you Bobby for making our time so memorable.
Our stay in Hanoi was a fantastic experience and our tour group had so much fun. Our tour guide was the best. Cong always ensured we were looked after and he went above and beyond ensuring we had the best experience of our stay. He shared so much local and history knowledge. As a group of 20 he recommended options for us all to suit everyone, even sending links with directions to many places and restaurants that weren't included in the tour. Cong was always available, helped one couple get to the right hospital and came to our assistance when our bank card was stuck in an ATM. We would not have solved the issue without him. We are very grateful Cong came to our rescue. We all had the best experience in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay. Highly recommend Cong snd the tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an amazing time our guide Thanh has been more than you could ever ask for. He has gone above and beyond to ensure everyone's needs were met and the group had the best time. He treated us like family. Thank you... if you have not booked. Do so as this trip is beyond amazing
We have just done the Ha Giang tour with Trip a Deal and I cant praise it enough. Our tour guide Tom and driver Ian were brilliant.
Zoom went above and beyond in every aspect of the holiday. He resolved concerns promptly, professionally & empathically. Very informative on local areas history.
The tour guide was wonderful - the best ever!
Great experience with Garvin as a wonderful and informative guide
It was a great experience overall, the boat was comfortable, staff were fabulous and attended every need. Our tour leader was very informative, fun and delightful.
Fantastic!!!!!! Super value, well run, fun, comfortable, highly recommend. Garvan was attentive, informative and loads of fun.
We stayed in North Vietnam with our amazing tour guide Donnie and our great driver Doung! They were fantastic and really helped us immerse ourselves in Northern Vietnamese culture! Our favourite part of the trip was the 2-day stay on a river cruise right on Ha Long Bay. Donnie took us up to see a beautiful stalagmite cave on one of the islands and the view of the bay was incredible!! Could not recommend Donnie enough for allowing us to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience through Ha Long Bay and Hanoi! Thank you!! 🥺💛🫶
Dat (tour guide) who met us at airport was on time. Very friendly and courteous, English well spoken and very knowledgeable. Talk about history of his hometown, show us around the town, catering to everyone’s needs. One of the best tour guides we’ve had. Would recommend the tour company and would recommend tour guide “Dat”. Don’t know if he does private tours but if he does I would definitely ask for him.
Fabulous. Friendly very affordable and efficient. Highly recommended.
Thanh our guide and Hai the bus driver were fantastic Thanhs knowledge of the area was interesting the tour was great. Every day we saw something different and beautiful. We went to Hao Long Bay, Ninh binh and Pulong. We have enjoyed this leg of our trip. Highly recommended for anyone thinking of doing it.
Our tour guide Cam was knowledgeable, helpful and fun. The boat was good condition and food delicious and plentiful. Kayaking was excellent in the lagoon.
Day 2 - Great cruise, great food, great guide, great company, fantastic massage. Next time I will arrive a day early to hotel as we didn’t arrive till after midnight and went to bed early on the cruise night due to jetlag.
Experience was good and the crew on the boat made it even better . The tour guide Mac made the exprrience even better with his knowlwdge of the bay and the country side on the way to the bay.
Exellent tour guild went above and beyond, very friendly and helpful. Great group of people . Guild made our trip lots of fun
Went on the Vietnam Mountain discovery plus Howlong Bay overnight Tours. Our Tour Guide Lucky Khan was absolutely amazing and made the trip exceptional. I can’t rate Lucky high enough.
Excellent experience. Rain cleared and all activities were able to go ahead. A beautiful part of the world. Accomodation more than adequate. Food exceptional. Staff very friendly.
Great guide , he was very helpful and gave us lots of options. The activities were very enjoyable and very informative. I would recommend this to my friends .
Our trip a deal tour of Vietnam and Cambodia started with 3 days in Hanoi with Tony as our guide. It was our first time ever doing a tour such as this. It didn’t start well due to a plane transfer error by qantas in Sydney and we arrived a day late. Tony was fantastic making sure a late lunch was kept for us and we fit in with the group. The rest of the tour with Tony went fantastic. He was patient, knowledgeable, caring for the group and a great sense of humour besides.
We booked our tour with Trip a Deal which include the 2 day cruise of Halong Bay. From start to finish our tour guide Tony was sensational! The food was excellent on the boat and we had a fun night engaging is really bad karaoke !!! He answered all of questions and in my case took my partner to seek medical advice. He was very knowledgeable and provided a personal service to all the activities. He organised a rickshaw, a drink with at the railway cafe, and Banh Mi roll for lunch which were delicious. I would recommend this trip but only if it included Tony again! A wonderful tour guide and human being!!! Thank you Tony
A wonderful experience to Halong Bay full of great scenery and activities. Tony, our guide, was brilliant, making sure everything was well organised and communication with his group very timely and clear. I would visit anywhere in Vietnam with Tony.
We completed our trip which was an extended 17 days to Vietnam as a couple to celebrate both our birthdays. I chose to upgrade to luxury for an extra $1100 which I would highly recommend. What we received was an amazing experience. We were able to learn about the local culture and experience the local food as well as take in the amazing endless scenery Vietnam has to offer. Our tour guide Garven was with us for the first 10 days of our trip. Garven was exceptional. He was very well spoken, and very knowledgeable on the history of Vietnam and it's culture. We were lucky enough to be a smaller tour group of 8 and being still in the off peak season it was quieter than at peak time. The weather was still around 30 most days with the expected high humidity. Garven took us on our overnight tour of Ha Long Bay which was superb. We also took in Ninh Binh and Pu Long with Garven. He kept our small group, which was very diverse, well organised and ensured we collectively had a great time. This included karaoke on the bus which was great fun 😂. For the second leg of our tour, we chose to relax and enjoy the 5 star resorts we were staying at. During this time we also undertook some night market shopping in De Nang which was a fantastic experience with some great value purchases. For this reason we had less contact with our tour guide Men but she was still fantastic and checked in each day with us via whats app. She was full of ideas for us related to what we wanted to do which was great 👌. This is our 3rd trip a deal overseas holiday and we couldn't have been happier. They have all been great value and they certainly pack in a lot to maximise your experience and importantly everything has gone like clock work each day of each trip. We made some great friendships with the other members of our tour group and we have already talked about catching up at a later time. One suggestion for the first time triper considering this experience, we took Travelan medication before each meal which assisted in avoiding any "quick trips" to the toilet due to the change up of food from what we are normally used to. Happy holidays and I hope my review assists 👌👍
The boat was so big, very clean. The dining and the top floor very spacious for activities. The food got lots of variety and big serving. Very delicious. Well organized and the tour leader Mr Nam who was with us all the time, giving us all information and expectations. In the boat, the leader Mr Harry is also very helpful and the staff are very respectful and courteous like Jackie and Jamie. The activities are very fun and happy. Highly recommended.
So relaxing and most enjoyable. Cruise staff so helpful and weather was beautiful. Food was very tasty and the bar was also good
Great experience, fully enjoyed it. Tony and Jimmy extremely helpful along with the staff on the boat. Food and service excellent. Will recommend to friends.
Very interesting experience. City tours were good. Liked Cu Chi tunnels, a real marvel. Tour guide Betty was excellent. She communicated very well with everyone, good local knowledge, friendly and very honest. In Cambodia, the tours need to be more spaced. The bus journey to Siem Reap for 7 hours was tiring, followed by Angkor Wat temple tour which needed one to climb up to 300 steps was physically demanding. All the hotels were very good especially Paragon and Tara Angkor location wise.
11 days in the north as part of a bigger tripadeal tour. Our tour guide Vic was excellent. He was highly organised, informative, and very thoughtful of my elderly father and his movement restrictions. The hotels and food were all great.
A beautiful part of the world. Our tour guide zoom, was so interesting, and had so much knowledge to impart. The staff on the boat were very warm, and friendly. Overall, it was a wonderful introduction to Vietnam.
Recently, 3rd of July-14th, we travelled to north Vietnam through Trip a deal. Having visited a lot of countries i have found that nature, temples, museums etc are beautiful everywhere. What i think it makes a difference is the people you meet and the experiences with them. We were very happy with our tour and especially our tour guide Lee. He offered us a lot of different sights, as well as insights on the local people with visits to homestays,villages, temples that otherwise would have been missed. His knowledge and impeccable customer service went far beyond our expectations and whilst I can't thank him enough I am sure I made a new friend. The tour was really packed with different things to do and sites to see and everyone in the group had a fantastic time.
Hiep our tour guide was self assured, friendly and eager to please. He had the ability to bring 30 strangers together cohesively and mould as one. Hiep s knowledge of the north was extensive, made sure everyone was safe, in a happy environment and went above expectations by organising other tours in down time to complete our experience in culture and history. Well organised, respectful and a happy person reflected every day to everyone A remarkable tour guide. Your company is very fortunate and he made themselves available freely trip memorable
We had such a great introduction to Vietnam through our fantastic guide Tony, Would definitely rate the experience as a must do on your bucket list HaLong Bay, the scenery was majestic, the city of Hanoi was a bustling city full of surprises on every corner with Tony showing us hidden gems as well as exploring the city on our own.
We had a wonderful time on board Amanda Halong Cruise ship for two days. The staff were bright, engaging and friendly, specifically, Tom, one of the crew on board who made the time on board more personal. We really appreciated the effort given to help us feel relaxed.
On of the best holiday we have had, tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, Ha long bay overnight cruise was amazing
Yes, it's a beautiful place and Hung arranged everything so well it just flowed so smoothly, enjoyed every minute of it. Would rate it 10 out of 10
