Wow! What an amazing and unique experience! I was on the 10 day Best of Vietnam trip with LVP TRAVEL and had the time of my life. I had no idea what to expect, but I was blown away by how vibrant VIETNAM is. It's steeped in culture, fantastic food, amazing sites, and our local guide was extremely knowledgeable. We had a packed schedule over the 10 days, but everything was at a leisurely pace. I'd thoroughly recommend this trip

We had booked for 8N 9D tour of Vietnam which included Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho chi minh city via LVP travels. Jenny was our tour co-ordinator. We had booked this tour almost in February but since then she was well in touch with us, clarifying all our doubts, adjusted few last minute requests.
Our entire package was very beautifully created keeping 8m mind interests of everyone including small kids. There was no wait time at any place, no miscommunication. They had ensured we got best possible English speaking guide on this tour.
Selection of hotels was also superb, nice yet budget friendly and located bear shopping and night markets.
Would definitely recommend all my friends and family to book package via them whenever they plan to visit Vietnam.
