Testimonials

I got in touch with Indochina Voyages in August 24 based on reviews in TripAdvisor. Hue Nguyen one of their senior travel consultants got in touch within 24 hours and started to work immediately on my request for a 15 day Vietnam private tour from South to North Vietnam starting in Ho Chi Minh City and finishing in Hanoi. They have 3 options depending on your budget – deluxe, superior and luxury. We went with the luxury option and Hue came back with a proposal within a day or so. The itinerary was superb and after several Whatsapp discussions we finalised our itinerary which included wonderful 5 star hotels and resorts, daily breakfasts, multiple lunches, occasional dinners, private tours including costs of the visits, internal flights, private boat tours including Mekong river day private boat trip, 2 days/1 night Halong Bay cruise (in a cruise recommended by my friend) along with fantastic personal guides and drivers. Airport pickup and dropoff also included. All this at an entirety reasonable price.
My wife and I have just returned from this absolutely beautiful holiday where we experienced the wonders of a beautiful country and people, saw wonderful sights, had lavish breakfasts, delicious unique meals not to forget Vietnamese coffee, had great adventures and delved into the tragic history of the country despite which the people are so positive and polite.
The guides – Jayden, Andy and Dan were fantastic. All the drivers were polite and professional.
Words cannot explain the unforgettable and beautiful holiday we have just experienced. Every aspect from the pickup at Ho Chi Minh airport and dropoff at Hanoi airport went without a hitch.
Hue was absolutely superb being in touch throughout and ensuring that we are well looked after. Any minor issues were immediately dealt with.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had Hue as our travel consultant. She is a wonderful person, a great asset to Indochina Voyages and an absolute credit to her profession. Indeed it was our pleasure to meet her in person albeit briefly during our stay in Hanoi. She made the effort to visit us on her day off which is deeply appreciated.
We left with fond memories and will certainly get in touch with Indochina Voyages (and Hue) for future travels in the region which I hope will be in the near future.

We were on cruise ship Celebrity Solstice. From first contact to end of tour was seamless. We had the best day with private guide and driver. We wanted to see the local side of Vietnam, away from Tourist areas. Visited Long Tan memorial which was very emotional. Highly recommend Indo China Voyages.

My wife and me (80,79) returned now from a wonderful cruise on the Mekong river.
The cruise was organized by Indochina Voyages travel company located in Hanoi ,Vietnam.
7 month ago I started to look for a good travel agent to organize the cruise. I was lucky to find Indochina Voyages travel company and even more lucky to be handeled by a wonderful lady Miss Thuy. She support me through all the way even help me to issue the visa to Vietnam . The preprations to the tour were a nice experience.
Any one who wish to organize a private tour/cruise in Vietnam, this is the address.

We spent three amazing weeks in Vietnam all booked and organized by Indochina Voyages. The ease of booking via the internet was very easy and we are especially grateful that they were able to incorporate our ideas into the overall plan. Making the bookings and payment were secure and safe and at all times communicated the price and payment details very clearly.
The options offered by the travel agency especially for Halong Bay were very good and despite being a very busy season the agency agency found us space on our desired cruise ship.

All our guides were knowledgeable not only in the sites we visited but also the history and shared willingly with us. The best guide by far was Andy Xuan in Hue and Hoi An. He guided us through the history, the art and the travel very efficiently and was available at all times. He was also VERY patient with us as we stopped a lot and took lots of pictures. My in Sapa was good as well and was very good at making adjustments for the rain and bad weather (she came to the hotel with rain ponchos and rain boots !).

Our booking and communication with Thuy Do was 10 out of 10. Thuy was ALWAYS available even at 6 am as we connected because of a delayed flight. Thy made suggestions changed the itinerary when i had a business meeting and tailored the experience to our preferences. Her suggestions were spot on as she took the time to know what type of journey we were looking for and made bookings and suggestions that matched our preferences and character. When unforeseen changes arose she communicated immediately with several options to choose from and then made the changes instantly.

We want to say from the outset that we plan on coming back and traveling to Vietnam again but also doing some traveling to Cambodia and possibly Thailand and we will be definitely using Indochina Voyages and asking especially for Thuy Do to do all our bookings.

We took part in a wonderful trip organized by Indochina Voyages. In early January 2025. We gained great experiences in a short time. A day trip north from Chiang Rai and the slow boat ride up the Mekong River to Luang Prabang was flawless. Everything happened as we received it by email before.

I was traveling with my wife, two adult children and my 90-year-old mother and I needed a highly experienced travel agent to plan a complicated 3 week trip for us – multiple countries, many cities, many activities.

I was referred to Van Do at Indochina Voyages based in Hanoi. Although I am based in NY, I always use local travel agents to plan my trips. They know the areas inside out.

Van and I spent a lot of time creating a custom itinerary based on my wants and her recommendations.

We were exceptionally happy with our experience with her. She was so professional, diligent, caring and flexible for any changes. I think she is the best agent we have ever used and I’ve traveled to over 60 countries.

I would highly recommend her and the company.

Our 15 day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia was absolutely brilliant due to the care and professionalism the Indochina Voyages team showed us. The planning and preparation were expertly managed by our coordinator Thuy Do. She helped to ensure our itinerary fulfilled the goals we set out to achieve and our guides Long, Jay and Sarrath brought it to life with their knowledge, friendliness and pacing throughout our tours. We were kept active, but never worn out. Our guides shared information and history with us, but then also gave us quiet moments to try to absorb and appreciate the spectacular things we were seeing. This was our first time in either country and since the Indochina Voyages team took such great care of us, we were allowed us to more fully enjoy and appreciate these marvelous countries.

We just returned from 2 weeks in Vietnam, thanks to Indochina Voyages & our wonderful planner Minh Vu. We cannot say thank you enough to their team. Minh worked with us 9 months ahead to plan a trip from 6 (my wife & I plus 4 grown children) from Hanoi to HCMC, through Pu Luong, Ha Long, Ninh Binh, Hue, and Hoi An.

Highlights: we all loved the Vespa tour of Hanoi, cycling around farming villages in Pu Luong, the overnight train drive to Hue, the Cham architecture in Hue, Hoi An in the rain, swimming in Ha Long, a day on the water in the Mecong Delta, endless & delicious street food, and so much more.

Big thanks to our guides (Long, The & Tom) and their drivers who planned last minute changes, offered ideas, navigated traffic with calm, and had answers ready for our endless list of questions about history, food, culture etc.

This was the highlight of our two week vacation in Vietnam. The private cruise a Sampan down theMekong river was a pure delight. The boat is incredibly luxurious, the staff is very welcoming, the food is amazing and a tour guide is with you the entire time for some fun excursions.

The hotels were all in a perfect location and were very comfortable. The drivers and guides were always prompt. The activities were interesting and informative. Highly recommended!!

Favourites: Hanoi, Sapa, Ho Chi Minh City

More time: Ho Chi Minh – probably could have stayed there for another day or two

Less time: Mekong Delta – seems to have lost it’s tourist sparkle

Didn’t fit: Angkor Wat – in retrospect Cambodia was so different than Vietnam, I now recommend to my friends to do Cambodia with Thailand, not with Vietnam

Best activities: Vespa food tour in Ho Chi Minh, Trekking in Sapa

Favourite Hotels: Viroth’s Siem Reap (sensational), Little Hoi An

Least favourite hotels: Can Tho Eco Resort – accommodation was great but food and drink was very poor

Our group consisted of six people: four adults aged between 40 and 80, and two children aged 7 and 10. We planned a 15-day, 14-night tour across four Southeast Asian countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Due to the diverse age range and the complexity of scheduling multiple cities, countries, and flights, we decided to use a travel company. We initially considered about 10 companies and narrowed it down to those that were the most responsive and local to our destinations. We are incredibly thankful we chose Indochina Voyages!
Indochina Voyages has a local team with extensive experience in planning the types of experiences we sought. Despite our limited time in each country, they managed to schedule major attractions and a diverse range of activities, keeping the children engaged. Our consultant, Hue, was particularly helpful, gently advising us on where to trim back to keep the schedule manageable. I am very grateful I listened!
I don’t want to go on and on about the service, but I’ll share one example to show how much Hue and Indochina Voyages care. During one of our transfer flights, the airline made a mistake. It was late at night and the last flight of the day. Hue was reachable, worked with the airline, and likely spent most of the night rearranging our itinerary for the following day. This is the type of above-and-beyond service they provide.
Regarding the tours, we had some initial ideas and were able to cover almost everything we had in mind. What surprised me most, now that we’re back, is the cultural immersion Indochina Voyages arranged for us. This included motorbike food tours, elephant camps, bike rides through rice fields, visits to local villages, and coffee tours. Nothing Hue arranged was ‘stock’; it was all tailored, flexible, and absolutely amazing.
I will not drone on about each city and stop we were on but some memories that I will have for a lifetime are:
• Ho Chi Minh City: Evening motorbike food tour. (Yes, even with the kids, their favorite part of the trip)
• Siem Reap: Angkor Temples at sunrise. (WOW)
• Bangkok: Chinatown. 100%
• Chiang Mai: Elephant camp!
• Luang Prabang: Kuangsi Waterfall.
• Hanoi: Spending time in the city (my wife and I now want to live part of the year here) and the kids favorite, squid fishing in Halong Bay.
To cap it all off, our last stop was Hanoi. Hue went out of her way to meet my family and me while we were there. This demonstrates the commitment and care that the team at Indochina Voyages has for their clients. I highly recommend anyone looking to visit the region to work with Indochina Voyages. Take a minute to visit their Core Values page on their website—this is what they live by, and it was 100% my experience with them!
Thank you!

A colleague referred to me to Indochina Voyages. I emailed them and one of their travel consultants messaged me back the next day. I intentionally wanted a travel agency in Vietnam to help me for my trip there. Ms H was wonderful! She helped me curate an interesting and fun and customized trip through Vietnam for two weeks. I appreciate all of her attention to detail from drivers, day trips, hotels, and overnight cruises. She went above and beyond by checking in with me throughout the trip to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend this agency. And I would definitely recommend requesting Ms H. She is an amazing travel consultant! Check out their website.
