Phantastische Reiseplanung!
Review submitted in Mar 2024

Frau Thuy Pham hat uns insgesamt ein Jahr von der Planung unserer Reise von Siem Reap nach Ho Chi Minh bis zum letzten Reisetag begleitet. Von der ersten Idee bis zur fertigen Ausarbeitung unserer Reise war Frau Pham stets für meine Anliegen erreichbar, entweder per Mail oder WhatsApp. Mit unendlicher Geduld hat Frau Pham meine Fragen beantwortet, mich bei der Hotelsuche unterstützt und Ausflüge zusammengestellt. Am Ende war es dann ein traumhaft schöner Urlaub von der ersten Minute an. Die Unterkünfte waren toll, wir hatten sehr nette und kundige Guides (die sogar Deutsch sprachen!) und zuverlässige Fahrer, die immer eine Wasserflasche und Erfrischungstücher bereithielten – bei 38 Grad eine fantastische Sache. Als wir während der Reise die Tagesausflüge etwas früher starten und für einen Tag das Programm komplett ändern wollten: Kein Problem, Frau Pham nahm Kontakt mit dem Fahrer und dem Guide auf, und nachdem beide einverstanden waren hat auch das geklappt.

Das war nun schon die zweite Tour, die wir mit Frau Phams Hilfe organisiert haben. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal!

A wonderful trip!

Ms. Thuy did an excellent job assisting us in creating the itinerary & meeting our needs during our two-week tour. She patiently and clearly answered all of our inquiries and amended the itinerary several times before we booked. Once on the trip, Thuy frequently kept in touch with us to make sure everything was alright. It was a wonderful trip. We visited two of Southeast Asia's most interesting countries. The tour was perfectly timed to allow you to maximize your time. The times assigned to each destination were thoroughly considered. The guides, especially Nhan in Sai Gon & drivers were excellent.

My friends strongly advised me to get in touch with Mrs. Thuy Pham at Viet Exquisite Travel in order to plan our trip to Vietnam. Thuy was patient and wonderful in determining what would work best for our tailored trip, and she designed a fantastic itinerary filled with fun activities.

Their drivers are careful, and the excellent guides patiently with smiles explained everything to us. We were taken to nice restaurants.

I will absolutely use Thuy's services and the company again in the future, and I will gladly refer them to friends and family.

Superb guidance and support!
Review submitted in Apr 2024

We had a fantastic 20-day tour to Vietnam and Cambodia coordinated by Ms. Thuy Pham of Viet Exquisite Travel. When we first got in touch with the agency, Thuy worked with us to figure out our budget, the locations we wanted to see, and in the end, she proposed an itinerary for us. It was wonderful to have a guide and driver greet us when we arrived with jet lag and tiredness in Hanoi.

We traveled to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Mai Chau, Hue, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh and Siem Reap. Excellent hotels, professional guides, and appropriate tour timing.

We are really grateful to Thuy for making our holiday memorable.

Review submitted in Jan 2024

We, a group of 8 from Sikkim (India), were delighted on the way our trip was organized for our trip to Hanoi, Da Nang and Saigon. The stay (hostel and hotels), transport (vehicle and drivers), flight tickets and guides provided were excellent so was the coordination provided by Ms. Thuy Pham. They played an excellent host. Local Guide provided at Hanoi ''Sue'' and ''Hyuen'' at Saigon needs special mention. They spoke excellent English and entertained us way beyond their requirements. They were like family and we miss them as our trip has now ended. We will always cherish our trip to Vietnam and will definitely contact them during our next visit. After all in todays digital world, they are only a click away. Highly recommended for all wanting to plan their trip to Vietnam and the region.

Superb Arrangement

We traveled with Viet Exquisite Travel for a group of 25 people. We realized from the very first email that this is our business, our friends, and our Vietnamese guides to the culture, history, and spirit of this nation. We spent eight days traveling throughout the nation from north to south, stopping at some of the best restaurants and hotels along the way. The program was designed specifically for us based on our needs and budget.

Viet Exquisite Travel is a team of professionals who are dependable, pleasant, and always willing to assist with any problem. Highly recommended if you're looking for an amazing Vietnam trip experience!

Trip in Vietnam
Wow. A vacation of a lifetime; we booked it six months in advance, and they took care of every detail, including the smallest, their drivers are cautious, and the great guides explained everything to us with a smile and patience. They brought us to clean restaurants. From Israel, thank you so much.

Mai Chau - Pu Luong

Thuy Pham was really knowledgeable about the tour and well-organized to ensure that I had the greatest experience possible. Mai Chau - Pu Luong was stunning, with its natural scenery and friendly Thai minority. I gained knowledge about many local cultures and how they differed and were comparable to those of other Vietnamese people in the nation.

Thuy Pham was also very communicative and did her best to be available to answer any questions I had. The local guide and homestay location were highly accommodating to my needs. I highly suggest the tour and the services of Thuy Pham from Viet Exquisite Travel.
