Trip of a lifetime!! Vietnam was the most beautiful and interesting country we've ever experienced.....from the bustling cities filled with street vendors and motor scooters galore, to the ethereal beauty of Halong Bay, to the amazing terraced mountains of Sapa where the minority tribes still fill the world with technicolor fabrics, fascinating markets and genuine smiles. Smiley (Nguyen Hong Phuong) made our every wish come true while we were there, taking care of every single detail so we could simply enjoy the culture, the scenery, the experiences. We can't imagine Vietnam without him! Thank you so much, Smiley! We hope to return and have you show us more of your outstanding country!!! Custom Vietnam Travel was so affordable and so...well....everything we had hoped for and MORE!Show more

Best Vacation Ever While staying in Hanoi for four weeks, we went on several day trips through Custom Vietnam Travel. Every one was fantastic. "Smiley" is the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge of Vietnam's culture and history is amazing. He also helped us to feel completely at home on the other side of the earth. We hope to someday make it back to Vietnam and we will definitely be using Custom Vietnam Travel!Show more
