Beutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon!![icon circle]()

by TripadvisorBeutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! 1034140638 12-Day Vietnam Tour – Beutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! My wife and I recently completed a 12-day tour of Vietnam, travelling from North to South, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Best Price Travel and the amazing Hang Moon. throughout the trip, Moon was with us every step of the way. Her communication was outstanding, staying in touch via WhatsApp and ensuring every part of our trip ran smoothly. The itinerary was well organised and balanced, covering all the highlights of Vietnam. Every detail, from airport transfers to hotel check-ins, tours, and internal transport was perfectly timed and stress free. The 4-star hotels we stayed in were fantastic, all including buffet breakfasts that exceeded our expectations. Lunches (when included) were set menus at reputable restaurants, giving us a real taste of Vietnamese cuisine. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, polite, and gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy at our own pace. When our overnight Halong Bay cruise was unfortunately cut short due to bad weather, Best Price Travel quickly organised a private car to return us to our hotel without any delays. A refund was processed for the activities we missed was organised by our agent Moon. This was a hassle free experience, run by honest, professional people who really care about their clients. For our next holiday, we won’t look anywhere else, we’ll be booking again with Best Price Travel. Thank you, Vietnam, Best Price Travel, and especially the lovely Moon

by TrustpilotA great booking experience.
I got in touch with Best Price in early May 2025 to book a Mekong Cruise from 2 - 9 October 2025. From the start Janet was very helpful and understanding. She made the booking process easy and kept in touch regularly, even after my party had boarded the cruise and again after it was over to ensure everything went well. This is true customer service. I would recommend this company to everyone. Thank you again Janet!

6 Days Tour of Vietnam![icon circle]()
by Tripadvisor
by TripadvisorWe recently booked a 6-day Vietnam trip through BestPrice Travel, covering Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and back. Initially, we were skeptical—six nights with airport transfers, domestic airfare, and hotel accommodations for under $600 seemed too good to be true. We honestly expected low-quality hotels and mediocre service. To our surprise, it turned out to be one of the best trips we've ever taken. The hotels were comfortable, and the tours exceeded our expectations. Everything was well-organized and seamless. Special thanks to Cindy Pham from BestPrice Travel, who was incredibly patient and helpful in coordinating every detail of our itinerary. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the end of our journey, everything went smoothly. We highly recommend BestPrice Travel to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. Their service and value are outstanding.

Hiking to the top of Titop Island provides a fantastic panoramic view, the chance to witness a magnificent sunset over a glass of wine, and a kayaking choice. For the price, I believe this is the greatest day tour program for Halong Bay.
Wonderful experience! Everything went perfectly. The hostel's pick-up service was prompt and courteous. The trip to Halong Bay took approximately two and a half hours. After a delicious lunch on the boat, you may go hiking, swimming, kayaking, or exploring a cave.
Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to travel to Halong Bay.
we had a wonderful tour to Halong Bay thanks to the support from a to z of besprice travel. Everything was incredible from the food to our cabin. Thank you so much
We will come back for sure
First of all, the shuttle bus is super modern, safe, and comfortable. The driver is friendly n experienced, too.
We have nothing to complain about the cruise. The food on board was fresh & delicious, there are many choices even for vegetarians.
The guide was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable.
The highlight of my tour is the cave - I had to go kayaking to explore the mysterious cave, and it was really fun.
Pros: - the boat is very nice & clean. plenty of seafood, available vegetarian meal
Cons: - I wish I had more time to stay
