 Verified Exploring Hanoi
Booked 2, 2 day private tours and money was well spent. Private tours means you can where possible avoid crowds and gain entry and exit quicker. Hai and Lun who we had for both days were professional and very prompt. They also could read when our energy was getting low and adapted the tour to our needs. Also understood when to chat and not as we spent a few hours travel time in car. If you’re wanting to explore Hanoi and the outer areas of Hanoi spend the extra money and book through this company. Viator and other sites are good for quick trips but for longer trips use Indochina group who are very professional

An Unforgettable 16-Day Vietnam Tour – Excellent Service by Mrs. Ivy We recently completed a wonderful 16-day tour of Vietnam in April 2026, arranged through Indochina Travel Group, Hanoi, and the entire experience was truly amazing from beginning to end. A special word of appreciation goes to Mrs. Ivy, our tour operator, whose professionalism, dedication, and warm personality made our journey comfortable and memorable.

The arrangements for our AC transportation, sightseeing, scenic journeys, and excellent hotels at different destinations across Vietnam were superb. We were able to explore the beautiful landscapes and attractions of Vietnam comfortably, without having to worry about the arrangements. Whenever we faced even a minor issue during the tour, Mrs. Ivy was always available and took immediate action to resolve it. Her prompt response, personal attention, and commitment to ensuring our comfort were truly impressive. I would especially like to appreciate her dynamic personality, professionalism, and excellent customer service.

 Verified An Excellent Guide and a Memorable Day
We had the great pleasure of having Hai Nguyen as our guide on today’s Bai Dinh Pagoda–Trang An tour, organised by Indochina Travel Group, and he truly made the day special. Hai was a wonderful representative of the friendly and welcoming Vietnamese culture. From the very beginning, he was warm, friendly and professional, and he always took the time to accommodate our wishes and make sure we were comfortable. He is very knowledgeable, not only about the places we visited, but also about Vietnamese history, culture and many other subjects. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and appreciated the way he shared his knowledge in such an engaging and personal way. It was a pleasure spending the day with Hai, and he certainly contributed to making our visit to Bai Dinh and Trang An a memorable experience. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Vietnam, and we would be delighted to have him as our guide again.
