We just had a northern Vietnam tour with Hanoi Voyages, touring Van Ho, Pu Luong, Ninh Binh, we had a superb time. Sophie c/o with Hanoi Voyages was so helpful, gave us so many valuable advice and make sure everything goes smoothly from the beginning of the planning till we return to our home country. The driver Mr Dong, the guide Mr Quach Tan (also guide from minority village) are amazing. We cant wait to visit Vietnam again with them.

A "sur mesure" fantastic trip in Viet Nam ! A fantastic experience with Hanoi Voyages who perfectly understood the type of travel, hotel, experiences we wanted. They organised all transfers, guides, internal planes and hotels. Everything was perfect and adapted to us; and possibility to contact them any time during our trip. A great confort and security for us all along our trip (3 weeks in Viet Nam and Cambodge). And...Viet Nam is a so beautiful country! I would recommand Hanoï Voyages with no hesitation!

I wanted to travel to Halong Bay, Vietnam and the major attractions in Thailand and looked to find a competent travel agency to plan and execute the trip. Hanoi voyages was what my top choice from my research. End to end they customized my trip based on my unique requirements and helped with travel, tourist guides and accommodations. The hotels were really good in each of the four cities I stayed in and the guides took care of me extremely well. The trip went off without a glitch, thanks to Hanoi voyages. I would strongly recommend them for anyone from the US traveling to Vietnam and Thailand.
