Annie was our tour consultant and she did a wonderful job of arranging our hotels and daily activities. Our accommodation was way beyond expectations as were the meals that were included with the tour. The tour guides Nhan, Thanh and Son were very knowledgeable and were happy to provide us with information when needed. The tour activities were fantastic with every day bringing new experience. I cannot recommend Auasia Travel highly enough. Annie should be commended on her professionalism and dedication in providing us with a tour that was amazing from start to finish. Thank you so much Annie and Auasia Travel for providing us with an incredible opportunity to explore your beautiful country. I’ll look forward to traveling with you again in the near future.Less
