  • Reviewer: Helen Zeilberger, Protravel International Inc
    “Just spoke to my clients who are happily at their hotel in Hanoi and thrilled to pieces with the amazing service and attention from the Park Hyatt staff and the miracle workers at Trails of Indochina.“
  • Reviewer: Rachel & Benny Goldstein / Fay & Geoff Sadler
    “My husband and I recently travelled to Vietnam and Cambodia with another couple from the 25th December 2011 and returned on the 15th January 2012. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tour and the experience. We would especially like to commend our tour guide in Hue and Hoi An, Tony who was absolutely marvelous. He could not do enough for us and he was very informative and very helpful. Also Sin in Siem Reap was fantastic as well as Mai Fam in Sapa. The experience of Vietnam was so enjoyable and your tour was so professional that we have recommended you to all our friends and I am sure they will follow our lead and travel with your company. Thank you again.”

    “We would like to express our thanks to your company for a really wonderful holiday in Vietnam. Every aspect of it was just perfect. Ms Moon Tran made the arrangements very quickly, always answering every question and request with no delay, and making every effort to give us exactly what we wanted. Her judgment on the right hotels was perfect. The guides and drivers were wonderfully helpful. We particularly want to mention Mr Nguyen Viet Tran in Hue and Hoi An and Ms Pham Anh Ngoc in Ho Chi Minh City. They were amazing, so enthusiastic, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We have come back to Australia just singing your praises, and urging our friends to use your company for their holidays too. And of course we fell in love with Vietnam. Many thanks to you all.”
