Experiences
Reviews from customers.
Fantastic, highly recommended! In February 2020 I made a fantastic 4-week trip through Vietnam. I had a laundry list of places I wanted to see, activities I wanted to do, and at least an equally large list of things I didn't want. Marnick and Thao soon came up with an initial proposal, which in my opinion was almost perfect.
Outstanding service I contacted Local Vietnam to help arrange a solo trip to Sapa for climbing Mount Fansipan. I have requested it fairly last minute and Local Vietnam was able to deliver! Among the other travel agencies available, they are very responsive and adaptable. Nhung Phung contacted me shortly after my online enquiry and all the arrangements were made over 48 hours.
Service was amazing! In very good consultation and personal contact prior to our trip we discussed our trip through Vietnam and put it together with different building blocks and suggestions from Local Vietnam. All transfers were arranged perfectly and all were correct.
Wonderful day to Cu Chi tunnels Via Marnick we arranged a private driver to cu chi tunnels. For our son, the shooting was the highlight so we did that first (no other people present so early)
Then to the tunnels with a local guide.
Communication was perfect and the driver (although he spoke little English) was a good driver.
Excellent Visa on arrival arranged and halong bay tour booked. Everything went perfectly. Communication always smooth and clear. Recommended!
Just what I wanted I wanted to do a motorcycle holiday in Vietnam with my girlfriend for 4 weeks. They have made a wonderful program for me. During our trip we sometimes had unexpected problems, but they helped us with this. They delivered an A to Z trip in which I was able to experience Vietnam in its entirety. Think of city trips to beautiful routes to travel.
