My wife and I have just returned from a fabulous trip in Vietnam. Mr John of Vietnam Best Holidays Travel organized everything for our tour. We mostly went with his recommendations as this was our first time visiting Vietnam and we couldnâ€™t have been happier with what he had arranged for us. We were a little concerned about food options as I have some food sensitivities but John arranged for the menus at all of the restaurants and hotels we visited to accommodate for us. Honestly, Iâ€™m not easily impressed but this was outstanding customer service so if youâ€™re going to travel with Vietnam Best Holidays, ask for John to take care of things. If you are a little apprehensive about travelling abroad, this really is a fantastic way to travel. You always feel like youâ€™re being taken care of. As soon as you exit the airport your guide is waiting for you and explains everything you need to know and answer all your questions which is really reassuring. All of our guides were wonderful. The accommodation, restaurants and activities arranged for us were all outstanding. The best thing is that this is all customizable so if thereâ€™s anything youâ€™re not interested in, you can change it. Our guide and driver were all very helpful and made us feel extremely safe. We were super impressed with every aspect of our tour and highly recommend travelling with Vietnam Best Holidays. It is a fantastic way to travel. We wish weâ€™d known about them earlier. Weâ€™ll certainly be booking again.Less

I honestly canâ€™t say enough about Maria and Vietnam Best Holidays. We went on a trip through Vietnam and it was a perfect trip. After discussing with Maria for the trip, she took into consideration what type of trip we wanted to plan, what our budget was, and what our interests were while on vacation. She prepared all detail confirmation for us before the trip, and it was very easy for us to see the itinerary everyday. We came in under budget, had amazing and unique hotels with breathtaking views. All of services were set up for us in advance ensuring no confusion when landing in a foreign country. Maria has a vast amount of knowledge on every region we visited and it was clear she did a lot of research to ensure we had the best experience possible. We will be planning all of future trips with Maria and Vietnam Best Holidays and we will recommend this company to our friends who want to travel to Vietnam.Less
