The Ta Xua landscapes were stunning and the organisation was seamless. From the pick up in Hanoi, to the very charming and warm welcome at the homestay (very clean) to the great meals cooked along the way. We went for a 3D2N trek up to Ta Xua Mountain surrounded by Hmong and Thai ethnies. The trek was amazing but quite though so we ended up doing 2D1N, which was really great as we took 1 more day to explore the valley. We can highly recommand Zonitrip for any adventurous trek. In addition to the very well organised trip, we had an amazing time thanks to Zoni's kindness, attentiveness overall happiness. We will never forget this trip. <3 We highly recommand Zoni and the Ta Xua climb to anyone looking for off the beaten path, high energy experiences - you won't regret it.

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.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to explore Ha Giang region. We were concerned before we left that we would miss out on truly experiencing Ha Giang beauty because of the car. But this is not the case with YesD as they have integrated many hikes ( short and medium) each day to ensure you really get to explore the landscape up close. Our guide Trang was a real pleasure to spend 4 days travelling around this magnificent region due to her knowledge of the area, her passion for helping the Hmong communities and energy. She ensures you are having the best time - making sure your needs are met. The itinerary is designed to give you a true Vietnamese experience - you will stay in Homestays, try many Vietnamese food unique to the region, learn about their culture, meet and have tea with locals and explore by foot the beautiful scenery. Really can't recommend this trip enough... don't leave Vietnam without exploring this region.

We were collected from our hotel in the Old Quarter on time and met our guide Duong (aka Sugar) He spoke very good English and was very friendly. Once at Halong Bay, it was quite chilly and misty at times but we knew it could be in March. All the meals were very nice but a lot of the dishes were deep fried. All the activities were very interesting but I think could have been quite overcrowded if it was busier. The photo of the room gives the impression it's large, spacious and gleaming, they were actually small, cramped and slightly dowdy. But we didn't spend much time in the room anyway so not really a problem. The downstairs rooms are larger but are noisier as they are closer to the engine. Waited a long time for the coach when we got off. All in all a very good trip.

I had a couple of emails from the guide before I arrived which was reassuring. I was picked up at the designated time of 0745 and taken to a Toyota Land Cruiser in very good condition. The trip turned out just to be got two but that was fine. Travel took 2.5 hours with the obligatory stop at a shop ( I gas been here already on an earlier trip. Arrived and taken to a covered towed boat which should have been for four but we had to ourselves. Was advised that feb to April this would be the case as thousands go in that period. We had the river to ourselves apart from a few locals and the ride through the beautiful scenery took an hour. The boat seats were metal so I was struggling to be comfortable at the end and glad to get off. From here we saw the first temple the first of many steps in stifling heat. It was at this point I decided to take the cable car to the pagoda and boy what a great section when I saw the steepness of the steps, uphill and distant in 40 degree heat. Cost me an extra 180000 but worth it. We then had lunch which was enormous and quite ok. Beer was 400000 Then we stated off to cable car - having thought I dodged the steps but no there were more. No queues fir cable car as quiet but told usually an hour wait each way. When we get off guess what more steps down to the cave which for me was hard work. The cave was beautiful and amazing to see, well worth the struggle. Then the way back the steps in the cave were slippy do have good shoes and the climb back up to the cable was hard but the guide went slowly without making me feel like I was holding the group back. Then back to the boat fir an hour back. I don’t like being told to tip but was recommended a dollar do I did only to be greeted with abuse from the rower who was demanding five dollars from us and quite nasty .. wish I hadn’t given her anything with that attitude. Then two hours drive back and in the hotel by 1700.

We booked directly on the Oasis Cruise website where we were prompted to pick a date and put down a $90 deposit for a 2D1N party cruise. 3 days later we received a notification that there were no cruises on the chosen date despite their site allowing us to select and pay deposit. We were offered a day cruise as an alternative and the customer service team was very proactive in contacting us and trying to get us to book a different date although none of the replacements fit our plans. We then asked for a refund and suddenly, the previously very attentive customer service team stopped answering our emails. We have sent 2 follow up emails regarding this payment we made in JUNE and we still haven't heard anything back. We are very disappointed in the service and support from this company and could see no reason to ever book with them direct, if at all. There are a large number of cruise lines operating in this area and we found a great alternative with excellent customer service.

I had an amazing experience, I will highly recommend this tour with this company. Apart from the incredible tour itinerary, delicious food, awesome tour guide, funny, friendly and very engaging, they keep the number of guests small, so you have your own private space , but you also get to engage with the other travellers and the tour dynamics makes you feel like you’re with family. Very comfortable rooms and space in the boat as well. But personally, I experienced the best service with this tour company as I left my jacket in the boat and they were very helpful and useful to get it back to me right the next day in Hanoi. I’m extremely happy to have booked this tour.
