Everything was great! This was my first long international trip so I was nervous and excited at first. My first impression of the tour operator is that there was always somebody waiting for us at the airport. Always on time. I visited Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Siem Reap, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai without any problem! The included meals were always awesome! We have learned a lot about this beautiful country and everybody was very kind to us! My only complaint is that I think that in some cities (for example Chiang Mai) the tours were very short when we had plenty of time. But that's it! The free time to discover the cities by yourself was great too! We received a gift too, and it was beautiful. Thank you so much for everything!
Together with Ms. Huong from Vietnamese Paradise Travel, we have designed this wonderful journey after hours and hours of research, reflection and decision making.
But I have to admit that all this work was worth it. We went home safely. What a wonderful and unforgettable trip. Together, my wife and I took some 3,000 photos and 250 video clips of memories.
Everything was well thought out, a French-speaking guide and driver accompanied us at each place. All hotels are 5-star as requested, breakfast included and entrance fees are paid for each site.
Overall, we have created a long relationship with Ms. Huong (almost a year and a half) and the service provided by Paradise Travel have excellently met our expectations. They have been able to cope with all unforeseen events during the trip and solve them perfectly.
We have been traveling for 45 years and we have visited a large part of the planet. We often traveled alone, twice in a small group and twice in a larger group. Well, the 31-day trip (January 29 to February 28, 2018) that we have just completed is the most extraordinary and the most exotic one. I must admit, however, that it is also the most expensive trip we have ever made.
In fact, I am 72 years old and my spouse is 70 years old! So we took our time to enjoy many exotic places around the world and it is never too late to travel!
