cannot say enough good things about our guides and drivers!!! They were all courteous, friendly, thoughtful, highly knowledgeable and driven to give us the best of the best. Mr. Ngyuen Van Chin in Saigon went out of his way to show me every fruit, flower, tree and vegetable on our walks knowing that I loved gardens. He made sure we could get to church, have a fun hands-on experience interacting with local crafts people, learning the history and culture from the museums and war tunnels and ensuring our meals were as promised ( delicious)! He is superior as a guide. He felt a true connection to him and trusted his suggestions completely. More

Great sights, accommodations, and tour guides
Coco’s plan immersed us into the culture of each country and not just the “highlights”. We really got a good taste of each area although there were many similarities across the borders. More

We recently had a holiday to Vietnam…
We recently had a holiday to Vietnam organissd by Jimmy at Asia Highlights. Jimmy came up with a great itinerary and literally everything was taken care of. We did so much more than we would have done if we had organised it ourselves and we really got to see so much of Vietnam. Jimmy paid so much attention to details to ensure we maximized the time we had there. Using Asia Highlights took out the stress of any arrangements we had to make. I would definitely use them again.
