Our guide in Hanoi, was excellent, very knowledgeable, explains good, patient a nice with my kids. The bike ride was very good and the first home stay was excellent. The driver was attention, friendly and always helpful. The junk in Halong Bay was very good as well. An amazing trip, all correspondence was well-organized and clear. Every thing went smoothly. I feel very relaxed and well taken care off. Thank you so much for making our trip unforgettable.

Our group of four have had a fantastic two-day trip to Halong Bay. What an amazing this bay was! We all were so impressed by its beauty, it's truly wonderful place.
We booked this tour online on their website. For an overall evaluation, we're pleased with their service . Their staffs speak good English and were very friendly. They arranged for us to stay in a nice hotel. The guide was a quite young man, yes he was definitely enthusiastic with us.
Everything would have been much more wonderful if there were not some troubles coming from the local vendors.they insisted us on buying somethings from them, and we felt a little annoyed. But don't worry, even though you did not buy, they were still smiling to you . It's just the matter of answering them to much for politeness.

I just spend four days on a vacation in Vietnam. I booked the trip with Active Travel Asia, a tour operator in Vietnam. I did kayaking in Halong Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
I have come back at home, very delighted with my trip: Halong Bay kayaking with the Active Travel Asia.
The services on junk's board was very good, and the kayaking tour introduced us too amazing and very quiet landscapes, with an excellent tour guide listening to us.
Moreover the weather was fine! We are very glad to have chosen the 4 days tour with 2 kayaking days : it's better to discover the bay in Vietnam
I would like to come back if I have the opportunity.

We had a really great holiday with Active Travel Asia. Initially we had a concern about being at the older end of your clientele as we are both 60 but this proved unnecessary as not only were we able to "Keep up". This kept us perhaps more active than we might otherwise have been. (We were the oldest in the group of nine though but possibly a being reasonably fit helped.)
No special memories as they were all special in their own way. It is important to be prepared to not always get your own way and go with the flow however and from time to time to do your own thing. Whilst our group was great all having experienced this sort of holiday before it would have been a pain if one our two had been selfish in their requirements.
Hai our tour leader was first class and very very knowledgeable and helpful we would love to have him again if possible. You will see us again of that there is no doubt.

Took 2 trips with Active Travel Asia:
- Northern highlight
- The mighty Mekong
- Guide: Excellent English speaking local guides, keen to explain, knowledgeable, and very kind
- private tours
- Real Vietnam with insights about daily culture and lifestyle
- Not the cheapest price, but truly quality for our money - very serious offer
- Excellent service in Active Travel Asia office in Hanoi
We would not travel Vietnam with anyone else. We had book some tours in Laos and Cambodia with cheaper or even more expensive tour operators in Vietnam but not nearly as satisfied.

Our excursion to Halong Bay with Active Travel Asia one of our package tour in Vietnam, then we have some days in Hue, Hoi An and Mekong Delta. Hai our guide in Hanoi and Halong Bay was excellent, knowledgeable, funny. We were a couple to go relax and kayaking Halong Bay. He showed us a great experience and romantic heaven in Halong Bay. We have a great time and would definitely recommend Active Travel Asia.

We just spent 2 weeks on a tour organised for 3 people by Active Asia Travel and would not choose anyone else to travel with throughout Vietnam. We had drivers and guides at every point to meet us (and all early), our every need was catered for.
We started in Hanoi where we were picked up at airport and met our wonderful guide who would take us onto Halong Bay where we kayaked and cruised for 2-3 days - absolutely breathtaking. Caught a night train to Lao Cai where we trekked from beautiful Sapa and had two wonderful home stays, our guide was so much fun and we had a fantastic experience. Onto Hue, Hoi An where we had shorter day tours of these lovely places then finished bike riding through the Mekong Delta for 4 days with yet another fantastic guide.
All our transfers were taken care of, all accommodation organised and almost all our meals were catered for. The guides were all so much fun and extremely knowledgable of the areas they took us. The kayaking, treks and bike riding where all well planned and able to be adjusted if it got too difficult - the guides were great at determining just the right amount of activity to be challenging yet moreso enjoyable. Our travel agent Jessie should be commended, she done a fabulous job and we will definately be back to Vietnam, and would not travel with anyone else
Thank you Active Travel for an absolutely wonderful trip !

We found Active Travel Asia on the google. There are many adventure travel firms in Vietnam and we were confused with them so we were very cautious with who we book our tours with. Active Travel Asia is not the cheapest but we felt it was money well and worthy spent. We are tired of being ripped off by everyone on the street and so was always so relieved to jump in to our pre booked pick up van or when our guide showed up to take us away.
