We had great trip to Vietnam thanks to the great customer service provided by Custom Vietnam Travel and all of their staff, especially Liliana Pham. We were two couples who decided to make the trip after many months of planning with the help of Liliana. The first stop in Hanoi was excellent with good accommodations and everything was open. One highlight was the cooking class we took that introduced us to fresh Vietnamese cooking and shopping at the markets. We also took a day trip to Tam coc which was great. We then went to Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Danang and Saigon. On each step of the way we dealt with Liliana who made sure our trip went smoothly, despite the difficulty of travel during the threat of the Covid-19 virus. She helped us re-arrange our itinerary and had incredible patience as we substituted a few new activities. We particularly loved Hoi An with its colourful atmosphere and fantastic restaurants and scenery. Our drivers and tour guides were all very helpful and courteous and definitely helped us get the most our of our trip. Liliana even managed to get us on a different boat for the trip up the Mekong Delta and we ended up with the boat to ourselves! Since our trip was cut short (we did not make to Cambodia), Liliana arranged for the company to reimburse us for the lost portion of the trip. Overall, I would highly recommend Custom Vietnam Travel and their representatives like Lilana who clearly go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service with a friendly attitude and also pride in the rich culture of their country.

Excellent guide! We learned so much about life and culture from Lee. And the car was fantastic. I am only sorry that we did not have time to do a Vung Tau tour with him. I bet it's amazing, given that his family still lives there and he grew up there. Lee has a passion for guiding and speaks English really well, too. We thorouly enjoyed our full day with Lee and would highly recommend him for your next tour.

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.

We booked and paid for a week bike tour in Vietnam with this company. We even went to Vietnam but after arrival....covid took over and Vietnam closed many of its hotels, restaurants and public areas in many cities. Airports were restricting flights and our connection city did close it doors a few days after we left. We had to leave then or be stuck there. We contacted the tour operator (we were the only three on the tour) and the only response we received was "OMG, I will have to get back to you." Since then they have not replied to any emails we have sent. They have not even responded to say they are busy as many are in this wild world we live in just now. We were a group of 3 so not a big deal to reply to our email and let us know where we stand regarding refunds. No money was spent by them other than the time to book the hotels. Many of the hotels were cancelling at that point so cancelling them might not have been necessary. Does anyone know how to contact this company?

We spent 13 days in Southeast Asia with our adult daughter, which included a wonderful cruise on the Mekong Navigator. The ship was fantastic. It’s design in French Colonial and was impeccable. We had a Vista Suite, which was one of the simpler suites, but still better than premium suites on other ships. A key to this ship is it was all inclusive and they meant it. Unlike other “all inclusive” travel we’ve had before, all the meals, plus local beer and quality wine, were all included as were all the excursions. While on board we found out that this was the first sailing under Lotus. Though the ship has always been owned by Lotus, it had been contracted by Uniworld, but now sails as a Lotus Cruise ship. I’m not sure how the staff could have been better than the crew we had. Our wait staff were All pleasant. All attentive. We celebrated my wife’s birthday on board. That morning I asked our cruise director if we could get something special. That evening there was a gourmet chocolate, made from scratch by the kitchen staff. It didn’t just look good; it was a delightful cake. In our cabin, the room was always taken care of, beer and soft drinks always in the fridge, and you only asked once for something and the rest of the trip it was there…extra towels, blanket, and a choice of four different kinds of pillow. We had people on board from the USA, Australia, Germany, Italy, South Korea and India. Ages from 23-75. Do we recommend the Lotus Cruses and the Mekong Navigator…absolutely!

Chose this tour company thru my canadian travel agent. Excellent choice. It was a private tour. Our guide, our driver my husband and I. It was a good choice considering the covid 19 epidemic. From beginning to abrupt end of our tour we had excellent knowledgeable guides and top drawer accommadations. The tours were well planned and gave us a good understanding of their homeland and what made them proud. We had time to investigate things on our own as well. Unfortunately we had to leave one week early but plan to return one day. We would not hesitate using this company again. We are in our 60's and our activities met our abilities. Felt safe and well informed with necessary changes. We were given a refund for places we were unable to go to
