Best experience at Vietnam with Asia Trip Deals
Thank you Emma and Asia Trip Deals for arranging an awesome and unforgettable vacation in Vietnam. We were 4 friends who were planning for Vietnam and were confused about how to kick start and complete our trip in 10 days within budget. Right then we got in touch with Emma and she handled everything for us, starting from our trip itinerary, domestic flights, accommodations and must-visit places. Our entire trip was fun-filled and knowledgeable, all thanks to the tour guides provided to us, they were super friendly, helpful and filled with enthusiasm. The trip deal included a few good dining options to enjoy local food, loved it. We strongly recommend Asia trip deals if you are planning a trip to a place you have never been to before. The team is very responsive and on top when it comes to communication, just to make sure the trip is as planned.

We booked our vacation to Vietnam and Cambodia for 18 days. Very professional handling of our request by Asia Trip Deals’ trip designer, who was able to provide us with all the advice and information necessary over the phone to validate our stay. Very attentive and eager to provide precise and reliable answers to our questions. A big thank you her and all the team

Life changing experience
My travel in Asia was truly life-changing. I traveled to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. None of it would’ve been possible without the amazing strategy and help from Ngoc Ahn. She was instrumental in organizing all my stays, activities, transportation, and all around, I felt protected and taken care of at every step of the way. There was never a glitch, there was never a problem, everything was smooth, and I didn’t have to think about anything. It was also a pleasure to meet her, as she is absolutely lovely, and spend time with her in Hanoi!
I cannot recommend Asia Deals enough.

Wonderful 15 days trip to Vietnam with Asia Trip Deals.
Wonderful 15 days trip to Vietnam with Asia Trip Deals.
Mr. Luong – the advisor from Asia Trip Deals, gave me excellent advice; he was courteous and very professional. He helped me a lot, considering that I am not very competent in computer matters. I thank him for taking the time to explain everything to me. Thanks to Mr. Luong, I have passed a very enjoyable vacation with my friend.
Sincerely.

Thanks Asia Trip Deals for a memorable trip!
Hello Helen, all the tours have been wonderful. We especially enjoyed Halong Bay and our tour guide Petal. Even though the weather was not so good we had a wonderful day. The lunch was good too. Also enjoyed our Hoi An visit with Toan. Very knowledgeable guide. Saigon city tour was good but such a busy city.
Thank you for organizing everything so well.
Kind Regards
Ann
