AMAZING TRIP, AMAZING PEOPLE From the moment I arrived in Bangkok everything was perfect! I was met at the airport by my group leader, who was friendly and put me at ease straight away. Nothing was too much thought out the trip and he was always checking in on everyone to ensure they where ok and if he could do anything to make their trip even better. The accommodation through out the whole tour was really good! My fav of all was Khao Sok national park, you literally wake up on floating bungalows to the most amazing views ever! The best thing about this trip was there was no hidden extras! All the activities where included and we got more meals than I expected included too. The private speedboat trip in Koh Phi Phi was the highlight for me! Thank you Intro Travel and Jay for such an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do Bali next year with you!

Going through the tunnels was so incredible! (Of course, they were made slightly bigger for foreigners, but wow, I emerged with even greater respect for the people who had to endure living and navigating those tunnels during the war.) Also, seeing my 6'4" (1m93cm) tall husband disappear into jungle floor through a secret entrance was just amazing! Our tour guide, Tuấn, was so insightful and told us about his many experiences in the war! Our driver, Hoàng, was great, too, he stopped to give us refreshments along the way, too. If you're in HCMC, you need to come to the Củ Chi tunnels!

Can’t review our Vietnam trip of a life time because Covid destroyed our dreams but definite 5/5 for the people at Asianlink. Nothing was a problem. Gave us a credit when Covid first hit then when serious illness decided to raise its head never flinched. Gave us our money back without question. Can’t recommend enough.

As a couple we were very interested in a morning out exploring the floating market and more. Upon reading the reviews posted about Bin, his experience and care we knew right away he was the guide we wanted to lead us. Straight away upon meeting him, we were not disappointed. Bin has a natural way about him; a caring person who genuinely wants to give his clients the best experience. We had a lovely time learning all about the local area. Bin’s care and attention to detail made our day memorable indeed.
