Excellent service!!!

I booked a 2-day, 1-night trip to Halong Bay with Auasia Travel, and Mia Nguyen was quite helpful. Quick response to my emails and WhatsApp, excellent service (special request for food options), and communication. The excursion with Swan Cruise was so ideal that we were extremely delighted that we chose Auasia. Thank you very much for your assistance!!

Excellent experience on Swan Cruise

We had a great time in Halong bay. Mr. Tuk is a very enthusiastic and charming guide who explained all the details of each spot. He has extensive knowledge and excellent photography skills. We enjoyed many vegetarian dishes that filled the table. The cruise quality is excellent, and the coach transfer from our hotel was fantastic. The visit to the caves was a unique and exciting experience.

Halong Bay Cruise and Seaplane Tour

We appreciated the 2-day 1-night Halong Bay Cruise booked by our agent "Janet." From Auasia Travel, communication went smoothly, and she ensured that we received the cabin we requested. It was generally well-organized. She also managed to arrange the desired maritime aircraft tour above Halong Bay on time. Thank you for everything.
