✨ I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Vietnam Allure Travel on the 21-Day Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand tour. This trip was the perfect way to discover the diversity of Southeast Asia. from the bustling streets of Hanoi and historic temples of Angkor Wat, to the vibrant markets of Bangkok and the serene beauty of the Mekong Delta. The itinerary was well-balanced with culture, nature, history, and local experiences all thoughtfully included.

Erika • traveled in December
I spent 25 days travelling across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and I couldnt have had a better partner for this than Asia Focus Travel, and especially Ms Thu. They were flexible to adjust the travel itinerary to my interests and to allow me to change the direction of my travel so that I could see both the Vietnamese and Thai lantern festivals. For the preparation of my travel, they sent me all necessary information about flights and visas, and Ms Thu remained 24/7 available throughout my travel, always caring for me. It was a great help that all transfers, hotels and programs were booked, so I did not need to worry about anything when I arrived to a new country. The hotels were very high standards, the drivers were fully reliable, always on time, and in-between the interesting programs there was sufficient time left to discover the places on my own. During the travel one day I got sick (luckily nothing serious), and Ms Thu moved mountains and alerted everyone around me to look after me, until I could reach the hospital. This was very much appreciated as a solo traveler, as despite being far from my family, I was not alone. Ms Thu also remained very helpful and flexible when I modified some of the travel days towards the end of the travel, and even helped for me to look up information regarding visas and re-entries to some countries. All in all, this travel was a lifetime experience for me, and the help of Ms Thu made it absolutely safe, reliable and smooth. I can fullheartedly recommend this agency for any travel plans.
