Trinh from LUX organized a very well laid out itinerary for us to see Vietnam and Cambodia. We started off in Hanoi, then, on a cruise to Halong Bay, followed by Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, and finally Siem Reap in Cambodia. All of our guides and drivers were fantastic. Had water for us around the clock and an air-conditioned van to transport us from place to place. We really enjoyed the activities that were planned for us, but most especially the Vespa foodie tour in Ho Chi Minh.
Sasha, Canada
We both have some dietary limitations and Ms Duong together with our local guides managed to make sure that our included meals were suitable (and delicious) - this deserves a special thank you from us and provides an indication of the attention to detail throughout the tour. Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend Luxury Travel Vietnam to anyone looking to experience the wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia.
