Trip date: March 2024 - VNVictoria· April 8th, 2023The trekking through the villages was great and the hotel was really nice. Just be aware that it's not a tour as such they have just booked every separate element for you, some more information prior to the experience would have been reassuring.Show moreTrip date: March 2023

- RRose· January 9th, 2019Our family of 6 spent 5 N 6 D in Hanoi, visiting Hnaoi city, Halong Bay and Sapa. All itinerary, hotels and transfer are arranged by Thuong. We are very pleased wih her service. She is prompt in response, good in English, pleasant, made a point to meet us at least once face to face, suggesting best itinerary in our specific circumstances, thinking for the best in our shoes as non- Vietnamese speaking tourists. As an example, we are impressed that a special guide was arranged just to take us, with private van, from our hotel to the train station for departure to SAPA...not only to the train station but help us settle in our cabins...Show moreTrip date: January 2019
- LLynsimon56· November 11th, 2018From my very first contact with Jimmy in Swallow Travel for information on our tour we were very impressed. Responses were prompt and informative. The booking process was very easy and we received a full itinerary almost immediately with a breakdown of the costs. On the evening of our overnight train journey to Sapa Jimmy met us at our hotel and ran through all the details of the trip again,the meals, the transfers our hotel and train tickets. He was extremely friendly and attentive and even waited with us at the station to escort us to our train carriage. The two berth cabin on the Chapa train are perfectly Cosy! Two single bunks a little table in between with lamp. We were provided with free water & snacks an slippers. WiFi although patchy was available and Staff kept the toilet & sinks area clean and tidy. Our driver was waiting for us at Lao Chi station an we travelled to Sapa approx 45mins uphill! After breakfast we met our guide for our two days of trekking “Tui” a very friendly local girl who had great English, we did a short trek to cat cat Village about 5km. The second day we did a longer trek about 12km through stunning hills & valleys with amazing views of the paddy fields and mountains. The interaction with the local ladies who joined us in the morning was both fun and memorable. We chose the Amazing Sapa hotel for our overnight stay. Right in the middle of town with stunning views from the balcony rooms and lovely food options. We really enjoyed our trip to Sapa,we didn’t encounter any problems and would definitely recommend Swallow Tours for your Vietnam excursions.Show moreTrip date: October 2018
