Reviews & Feedbacks about Vietnam Local Life Tours

"Great Trip"

Thank you Rin and to Asia Tours for making our holiday such a wonderful and smooth experience. We didn’t have to worry about anything and love the special care and hospitality in Vietnam and Bali. Deepitika Chand - Fiji

"Amazing vacation with zero glitches!"

The Asia Tours representatives were super responsive and communicative from start the planning stage of the vacation through the our time on the ground. Drivers waiting for us at the airport, guides at our hotels each morning, perfectly orchestrated daily itineraries, coordination of two internal flights and lovely accommodations. Our guides in each of the three cities were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely travel through Asia Tours again and have already recommended them to friends and family. Angela Thornhil - United States

"Great trip. Wonderful support!"

Rin was amazing. When we arrived at the airport in our hometown it turned out my husband had accidentally entered his birthdate wrong on his Visa Application for Vietnam. Rin was able to arrange a transit Visa in time for us to make our flight and then arrange an entry Visa before we landed. What could have been a disastrous beginning to our vacation was rescued. I have no words to express how grateful we are to Rin and her team for making that happen. The rest of the holiday was blissfully free of any similar events. The transfers between countries (we did 5 days in Vietnam and 5 in Laos) were seamless. We were met and walked through all the connections. All the guides and drivers were very friendly and very flexible to our needs. All the hotels were very clean and comfortable. The holiday itself was wonderful. On the day of my birthday we hiked to the top of a 7 tier waterfall in Laos and after swimming in the pool at the top I was able to zipline down to the bottom. Absolutely stunning day. That evening our local guide surprised me with a birthday cake that had been arranged by AsiaTours. I was so happy and felt so celebrated. The bamboo experience in Laos is not to be missed. The weaving and the cooking classes that were a part of that experience were a real highlight for me. Of course meeting the elephants at the elephant sanctuary was another highlight. In Vietnam the real stand out experience was the Vespa food tour. It was an unforgettable night, a four hour amusement park ride with stops for incredible food. I can't recommend it highly enough. Next time I travel to Asia I will definitely be contacting Asia Tours again. Thank you very much! Anna Mora Mieszkowski - United States

"Explore Mekong delta with family"

Hi Mia thank you for an excellent trip. All the tours, hotels and arrangements were excellent. I appreciate all your help and support. We had a lovely days in Hanoi, Hoi An, Hue and Ho Chi Minh. Tour was really interesting and Tour guide was lovely and very informative. We will definitely plan another trip with you and we will recommend you highly. Sara N - Canada

"An unforgettable trip with Asia Tours"

Everything was amazing. I want to thank Ms Nhi very much for your hard work and for planning in the best possible way our vacation. We have requested a lot of changes for our trip, and Nhi had tried her best to adapt our changes. I was travelling with my old parents, and they need a slow paced tour. Everything was organized so well for us and always being available to help when ever we needed you! We had a really great trip and enjoyed it all enormously. If and when I decide to do another trip in Asia I will definitely be in touch and I will recommend you to my friends! Once again thank you, regards. Elizabeth - United States

FAQS About Vietnam Local Life Tours

While on a private tour, will it be an issue for the guides/drivers should we need to return to the hotel prematurely? I can’t imagine this happening but we still need to ask the question.

In the event that a flight or a tour is delayed or cancelled, I imagine you will notify us and take care of rescheduling if need be, transportation (flights, drivers…)? Does your office provide this sort of service throughout the whole tour have organized for us?

For the rural tour in Hoi An, I see that biking is included. I’m not very comfortable riding a bike—will we have to ride very far?

We prefer to upgrade our train accommodation to a private room for 2. Is this possible?

Do you have a general recommendation between visiting November 3-12th vs December 1-10th? Would the weather be better during one time vs the other or prices drastically different?

What do we do with our luggage in Sapa while trekking? Is it better for us to leave our suitcase (carry on with wheels in Hanoi) and just take an overnight bag?

I have some food allergies for example, I don't eat pork and I am allergic to shellfish like lobster and shrimp but is ok with fish. Is this a problem for a food tour?

We would be traveling from the US, so not sure which city in Vietnam would be best to start with and where to fly back?
