    I cannot thank Swallow travel enough for the amazing trip they organised for my mother and I. We had never been to Vietnam and choose the 10 day trip. From start to finish the company was professional and so helpful . Being a Vietnam company they knew all the small working parts and everything was organised so well. We had small group day trips booked which were perfect to beat the crowds and massive bus loads They messaged us every day to check in.

    We loved Vietnam. It was just my husband and myself. Hotels well organised and being picked up and dropped off made everything very smooth. We were able to organise our own days with the exception of a few booked tours. People of Vietnam are friendly and helpful and navigating our way round was easy enough.

    This trip was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect mix of free time and organised activities. All the excursions were highly enjoyable and were led by locals that could give great insight into the activities conducted. The hotels were all within short walking distance of the main attractions in each of the cities and hotel staff were attentive and friendly. Thuong from Swallow travel was there every step of the way to offer support and answer any and all questions I had. P.S - It's worth upgrading to 5* for the Halong Bay cruise. The Aspira cruise was amazing!! I'd be happy to book with Swallow Travel again

    Swallow Travel has been wonderful to deal with especially during this pandemic. They constantly provided updates and also refunded the cost of the trip when the international borders were closed. Would highly recommend them and will definitely be booking my first trip once borders open with them.

Vietnam traveling North to South starting in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City. Can’t thank Thuong enough for organising an amazing holiday & also for being at end of phone whenever we needed her. Thank you again Swallow Travel

    Thuong went out of her way to make sure we had a great time and everything ran smoothly. When we wanted to do something different to our itinerary Thuong arranged it for us. The Typhoon arrived when we were meant to go to Ha Long Bay. She kept us updated and offered us accommodation at the hotel and other day trips while we were waiting for the Typhoon to pass. She was really helpful and we were very relaxed knowing that she had everything taken care of and we didnt have to worry about anything and it allowed us to enjoy our holiday better. I cannot recommend Swallow travel enough. They have been fantastic to deal with and everything we wanted they made sure it was included in our itinerary.

    We had a such a wonderful time in Vietnam. Thuong from Swarrow Travel was very helpful and kind. She organised our special request as well beside the original tour e.g. extra nights, fly instead of train etc. The tour itself was just amazing. I highly recommend Swarrow Travel.

    I can highly recommend Swallow Travel. They are a very professional travel company. Staff are very caring. My family are going back to Vietnam in August. This is our third time with Swallow Travel. We wouldn’t book with any other company. They choose the best tours for you. They are in contact with you almost daily to check if everything is ok. So professional.

    Well done Swallow Travel, very organised and it was great to have the information given to us at each hotel as to what time to be at the front of the hotel for pick up. Tours were well organised my only tip would maybe check out location of hotels and if need be upgrade to be closer to the city centre, another couple had upgraded and was very happy still a very affordable holiday with upgrades. I highly recommend Swallow Travel !!!!!

    Asked on February 21st, 2025

    I would like to know what the cost would be if we were to get a private berth for the train ride. Also do we need a visa to come to Vietnam and is the flight to HCM included in the price. We are coming from Canada.

    • Swallow TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      One soft-berth cabin has 4 berths. If you have 2 travelers, the surcharge to upgrade to one private cabin is 74USD per person * 2 = 148USD. Yes, you will need a visa to Vietnam. We will send you the guidelines to apply e-visa after you process the booking. It costs 25 USD for a single entry visa if you apply directly on the government website. Regarding the flight, the international flight from/to your country (Canada) is NOT included. The flight from Danang to Ho Chi Minh City is included (20kg check-in baggage + 7kg hand-carry per person)

    • K

      Katherine

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      How much would it be to go on a 3 day /2 night cruise on Halong Bay compared to the regular 2 day /1 night cruise. Also which boat would it be for the 3 day cruise and for the 2 day cruise. Is it the same boat? What more do you see and do on the 3 day cruise? Do you recommend it.

    • Swallow TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      For 3 days 2nights boat trip, you still overnight on the same boat. However, the daytime activities will be on the day boat - not the main boat. Personally, I don't recommend 3-day itinerary because you just have 1 extra day, and the price of 3-day itinerary is double of 2-day itinerary. If you want to fill free time with an excursion, I would recommend you add an extra day trip to Ninh Binh than do 3-day Halong Bay.
