    Overall it was a great experience with great tours. We really enjoyed the small tour groups. We had a variety of activities, with time to ourselves to explore the areas. Communication was decent. At times it did take awhile to get back, but for the most part it was good.

    This was a wonderful trip, best we have ever done! Despite the soaring heat of over 40 degrees…..We saw so much in the 16 days. Met some lovely people in the 3 counties, and really got the feel of the counties more than a tourist. Probably due to the wonderful guides we had on the tours and the local hotels we stayed at. Though don’t expect 5 star hotels to be at the standard of international 5 star hotels but they all had their charm. A few of the tour guides were hard to understand, but we managed somehow. Others had a fantastic command of English and we learned so much. To our pleasant surprise nearly half of our tours were private and we were the only ones on the trip! The program was well balanced and we did cruises, small boat trips, cycling, hiking and saw some wonderful places. Unforgettable trip ! Will for sure like to go back with my children.

    5 stars for everything! What an experience of a lifetime! I have just returned from doing the 16 day tour through the Vietnam Tour Fun company, and the whole trip exceeded my expectations. Everything was so meticulously and incredibly planned, all the hotels were amazing and were in great locations, all the tours and sight-seeing activities were wonderful, and the support from the travel company before and throughout the entire trip was exceptional. Mr. Long was my tour operator and he was ALWAYS available through WhatsApp. I travelled as a solo female and I never felt scared or alone on this trip since the company was always there as a support. I felt extremely safe, looked after and taken care of on this whole trip. I am amazed at how well planned the entire itinerary was. All the activities were on time - I was always picked up from the hotel lobby on time for day tours and airport transfers. Mr. Long always knew where I was and made sure to check-in with me to ensure everyone was going well. There were absolutely no issues or problems on this entire trip. And ofcourse, the trip itself was immaculate. All the counties are absolutely stunning and worth seeing. Extremely vibrant, rich and full of culture and amazing people. I would recommend everyone to take this trip. It is more than worth it! I absolutely loved every part of it and I can’t praise it enough. Thank you to everyone involved in making this into such an amazing experience for me. Thank you.

    The tour was excellent, the booking manager was in touch with us every step of the way through what’s app, he would give us name and phone numbers of our tour guide that would meet us at every airport with a driver, take to the hotel, gives us our tours then takes us to the airport. Recommended Restaurants witch was a nice touch.

    We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our trip to the fullest. I would recommend our supporter Ms. Emi to my friends who are going to visit Vietnam, she was very supportive throughout the trip. Our tour was 16 days covering 3 countries Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. It's quite difficult for us to mark the most famous destinations at beggining but Emi has given us the best suggestion and arranged everything, she is so amazing. We enjoyed the trip so perfect and unforgetable.
