"We booked Halong Bay/Aphrodite Cruise 2 days in May, I must tell that - How a wonderful tour you made for us ! The shuttle bus was very punctual, food was fresh, staff were so friendly and especially the cost is very resonable. I would definitely recommend Halong Bay Sails to my friends if they travel to Vietnam. Once again, Thank you so much ! Jane - from Singapore"

We have returned with happy memories of our trip. Sincere thanks to you and your entire team for the well planned, punctual and friendly guides. Hotels selected were also appropriate being as required, close to markets and city centre. Alba hotel is the best. Hoi An was a very good experience which we did on our own and I would highly recommend Asia Journey Travel to all visiting tourists.
Availability of more vegetarian food would help travelers or rather travelers with vegetarian food habits ! - Simon Edward, Australia

When people ask me how was my experience of Indochina tour, I don't hesitate to recommend Asia Journey travel because of their best cost and high quality services. They even offerred us some extra meals, highly taken care of our food request. Surely use them again for next trip in Asia !

Thank You so much for organizing our tour from North to South Vietnam. We really had a lot of fun and enjoyed all the new impressions of your fine country. All Things are ongoing pretty well and besides we learn a lot of your history..
