A heartfelt thanks to Ms. Dung, who designed a detailed and personalized itinerary that exceeded all expectations. We chose the 5-star tour package, and the accommodations in Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Pu Luong were exceptional, offering a truly luxurious and comfortable experience throughout.
Led by our English-speaking guide, Mr. Nam and Mr. Viet, were outstanding — professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. Their dedication made our Vietnam private tour experience feel smooth, personal, and truly special.
Despite having only 7 days, the itinerary allowed us to fully explore each destination. The Emperor Cruise in Halong Bay was a magical highlight — a truly world-class experience that elevated our journey.
We were especially touched by the team’s care and attention, from arranging halal dining options to helping us find a mosque for prayer — thoughtful details that made a real difference.
We highly recommend Auasia Travel to anyone looking for a luxury Vietnam tour including Pu Luong and Halong Bay. This was more than just a trip — it was an unforgettable experience we will cherish forever.
