Great Experience with VietLong Travel – Big Thanks to Thanh Loan We had an absolutely wonderful experience with VietLong Travel, and the entire trip was made smooth and enjoyable thanks to Loan’s exceptional support. From the very start, Loan took the time to understand our travel preferences and carefully planned an itinerary that suited our needs perfectly. Her attention to detail and thoughtful recommendations really made a difference to our overall experience.Throughout the trip, Loan remained consistently responsive and supportive. Even when we encountered a few unexpected hiccups, she handled everything calmly and efficiently, ensuring the issues were resolved quickly without causing us any stress. Her flexibility, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile truly stood out.Loan’s professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for her clients made us feel well taken care of from beginning to end. If you are travelling to Vietnam and want a reliable, trustworthy, and attentive travel planner, Loan is definitely a must-go-to person. Highly recommend VietLong Travel for a seamless and memorable travel experience.

Beautiful Vietnam and incredible VietLong Team Our journey to beautiful Vietnam with our family group of 16 people was incredible and the entire experience was beautifully curated by Ms. Thanh Loan and VietLong Team.Ms Thanh Loan was thoughtfully planned the itinerary. Her constant communication and attention made us feel truly cared for and completely at ease throughout the trip. In Sapa, we were in awe of the breathtaking beauty of Fansipan and the Cat -Cat Village. The Halong Bay cruise was a highlight—luxurious, relaxing, and unforgettable—with scrumptious food, mesmerising music and entertainment. Our journey through Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was equally insightful, brought to life by knowledgeable, warm, and professional guides.This trip to Vietnam was a collection of beautiful memories that our family will cherish forever. Our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Thanh Loan and her VietLong Team for creating such an enriching Vietnam experience.We highly recommend them to everyone seeking a truly special and personalised family vacation.

Magnificent 15-Day North Vietnam Tour I just returned home from a wonderful customised solo tour of North Vietnam organised by Mrs. Giang from VietLong Travel. I had an incredibly enjoyable, fun, and memorable time, experienced delicious and unique Vietnamese food, spectacular landscapes, rich culture, and history. The tour and itinerary was planned perfectly for my needs and interests, and everything ran seamlessly. I am thankful for the assistance that I received in planning and organising such a great itinerary, and for the kind help and care I received during my 15 day tour. I truly appreciate and love Vietnam and the friendliness of its people. My sincere thanks to Mrs. Giang and VietLong Travel for this amazing experience ☺️. I'll be sure to seek assistance from them again when I plan to visit Southeast Asia!

Wonderful experienced for our First travel in Vietnam Our first visit to Vietnam surpassed my expectations. We thank Mr. Simon, Mr. James, and of course Ms. Loan for the customized itinerary, transportation, tour guides and accommodation. All details were meticulously taken care of and there was constant communication before, during, and after our tour ended. We are grateful to Vietlong for the outcome of our first trip to Vietnam, which brought us great joy and gratitude. We highly recommend this company.

An Experience beyond words Thank You!! Vietlong & VietnamSome trips deeply connect with your heart, making you feel that the places you visit are perfectly suited for you to truly immerse yourself. Our journey to Vietnam far exceeded all our expectations and anticipation. The people of Vietnam are wonderful—kind, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to support and guide you. The food is exceptional; I would gladly visit again just for the cuisine and coffee. The landscapes are vast and breathtaking.We cherished every moment—from the vibrant, beautiful cities of Hanoi and Saigon to the treks in Sapa, boat rides in Ninh Binh and the Mekong River, and the cruise in Halong Bay. It was deeply moving to witness a country, once devastated by French and American occupations, rise against all odds and prove its resilience to the world. Visiting the Cu Chi tunnels and the War Museum was profoundly overwhelming. Their preservation of history is remarkable.Perhaps we can learn from Vietnam and start truly caring for our own nation by embracing discipline and civic responsibility. We are also grateful to our travel partner, Vietlong Travels, for curating such a comprehensive 13-day trip for us. Special thanks to Tran Thanh Loan for the excellent trip planning.

Dependable Tour Company in Vietnam The Sales manager was in contact with us all the time and promptly for our acceptable length of 13 days; ensuring everything was going well. Our stay and guide in Cambodia was exceptional even though we chose the 3-4 star option. Hoi An was amazing with a hotel with first class service and room; even though we arranged most of our activities prior before leaving home. The guide was kind and made good recommendations for the tailors and additional activities. The hotels in Saigon and Hanoi were conveniently located to the old town and night markets and the company included adequate activites in these two busy cities. The highlights of our tour with exceptional guides for the provided tours were Angkor Wat in Siem Reap and Halong Bay on Hanoi and the Saigon Cu Chi tunnels and City tour. Definitely would recommend this company.

Excellent. Excellent tour guides who were friendly and knowledgeable. Great to have private car and guide for all activities and the tour guide was able to tailor the activity to our needs and wishes. The young type guide we had for the walking tour of Hanoi was brilliant. He was so pleasant to talk with and so knowledgeable and did everything he could to make the tour memorable including lending me his jacket to cover my shoulders when going in to Ho Chi Minh mausoleum as I had worn a sleeveless top. Another guide sorted out an internal flight for us when it's had been cancelled and got us through priority so we could catch it. Altogether very well organised and good communication throughout. Thank you. Would certainly recommend.
