My trip in Vietnam
We had a wonderful and memorable experience in Vietnam, and a big part of that was thanks to Hanh and her excellent planning and support.
From the beginning, Hanh was professional, kind, patient, and very helpful. She took great care of all the arrangements for my family and my father’s group and was always available whenever we needed assistance. Everything was well organized, and we truly appreciated her attention to detail and dedication throughout our trip.
What stood out most was her genuine care and warm attitude. She made us feel comfortable and well looked after, and even when there was a small issue with transportation, she handled it professionally and with great concern for our experience.
We are very grateful to Hanh for helping make our Vietnam trip so special. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning to visit Vietnam, especially families and groups.
Thank you, Hanh, for your kindness, patience, and wonderful service. We hope to visit Vietnam again in the future! ❤️🇻🇳

Amazing Vietnam trip
We just returned from a 3 week wonderful trip to Vietnam. We started in Hanoi then to Nha Trang, Da Nang, Phu Quoc and Ho Chi Ming city. We enjoyed our visits. The trip was incredible and all of our tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Our travel consultant was outstanding. She kept us informed at all times. We definitely will be back and will use Vietnam travel agency again.

Vietnam and Cambodia-what a great experience
We had an amazing experience travelling with Asia Travel and leisure for 10 days end of January early February. 2026.There were three of us in our group and at every location there was a driver and a Guide waiting for us. We also had excellent vehicles that were clean and large.
Everything that we had asked for to be arranged was, and it was perfectly Coordinated.
It was excellent value for what we paid.
I most definitely would recommend Asia Travel and leisure to anyone who is wanting to see Vietnam and Cambodia and any of Southeast Asia. From the beginning correspondence with Mr.Tuan Phan, every Guide and every driver
were very professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and enjoyable to be around.
I would give this company a 10 out of 10!

Heong Bay
Everything about the halong Bay experience was great, but we had been there 25 years previously when the pollution was not as prevalent. I disappointed to see the dark polluted skies.
