Excellent Tour Guide

We had a good trip with Sunny as our tour guide since he can speak Chinese and which is good for the elder so he could explain things and places that we visited during our Hanoi Trip on December 2023. He also could explain regarding the history and culture in Vietnam very well. Review from ElnaElna on Tripadvisor (Dec 2023)

Trip With Sunny

“Our trip to Vietnam was fantastic! One of the highlights was a beautiful bicycle ride through the stunning landscapes of Hoa Lu - Truong Yen, where we were surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The trip along the river in Ninh Hai was equally serene, with peaceful views and a connection to nature. To top it all off, we enjoyed a delicious local lunch that was full of fresh, authentic flavors. Vietnam is truly a gem, and we loved every moment of our adventure!”Out tour guide Sunny was well knowledgable and kept us well informed along the way. We had a fantastic time and hoping to go back soon Review from Maria Inspire on Tripadvisor (Nov 2023)

Wonderful Service

I used Auasia Travel when I visited Vietnam and had a wonderful experience with their service when we visited Ninh Binh, the Mua Cave, and the Trang An boat tour in Northern Vietnam. I would highly recommend Sunny and his company for guided tours. You will not be disappointed. He is a kind person and very knowledgeable about the area.
