I had a wonderful experience with this travel agency. They were always responsive and reliable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout my trip. The punctuality of their drivers and the assistance they provided with additional flight tickets were greatly appreciated. The selection of hotels was excellent, offering comfort and convenience. If I have the opportunity to visit Vietnam again, I would not hesitate to choose this travel agency. Their exceptional service and attention to detail made my journey unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam.
- Vietnam Heritage and Tu Lan Cave Encounter Tour 11 Days
I enjoyed working with this tour company. They were very helpful and could be reached immediately if needed. They designed a tour exactly as requested and changed things as needed to meet physical limitations. Excellent group
- Best of Vietnam - Feel Free Travel
An Incredible Trip!!! Just got back from the 15 day Vietnam tour with Feel Free and also did the Thailand tour back in March. Vietnam was absolutely incredible and I was lucky enough to have Jonny as our tour guide for both trips! He is awesome, and very willing to help with onward travel plans and anything travel related which was so helpful! Everything from the accommodation to activities and destinations was planned perfectly. So much fun and met so many wonderful people, as well as reuniting with the OGs from Thailand <3 Thank you Feel Free!!! Sri Lanka next!
