A huge amount of the credit has to go to Janet Tran at Best Value Tours, who specifically organised the programme for us. From the initial planning through to the trip itself, Janet was fantastic. She put together an itinerary that allowed us to experience an amazing amount across three countries, while making sure all the complicated logistics worked seamlessly.

With multiple destinations, internal flights, a train journey, different hotels, guides, drivers and excursions, there were plenty of moving parts, but everything just worked. We were met when expected, transfers were smooth and we always felt looked after. Janet had clearly put a huge amount of thought into how the whole programme fitted together.

And what a programme it was!

We started in beautiful Luang Prabang, including the early-morning alms giving, Pak Ou Caves and the spectacular Kuang Si Waterfalls, before travelling by train to Vientiane and then on to Vietnam.

Vietnam was a whirlwind in the best possible way. Hanoi, an overnight cruise through breathtaking Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ba Na Hills, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi Tunnels gave us such a brilliant mixture of history, culture, food and scenery.

Then came Cambodia and an unforgettable finish in Siem Reap. Seeing Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm in person was genuinely breathtaking and the perfect way to end the adventure.

The local guides throughout were excellent. Having knowledgeable people who could bring the history, culture and everyday life of each destination to life made such a difference. The drivers and local teams were consistently friendly, professional and reliable too.

This is definitely an adventure rather than a sit-by-the-pool holiday! There are early mornings, you cover a lot of ground and you pack a huge amount into 15 days, but that was exactly what we wanted. We came away feeling that we had really experienced all three countries.

There are far too many highlights to choose from: Kuang Si Waterfalls, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, the history of Ho Chi Minh City and Cu Chi, and the extraordinary temples of Angkor.

Most importantly, a massive thank you to Janet Tran at Best Value Tours. Having someone who understood what we wanted from the holiday and could turn that into such a well-planned, varied and memorable itinerary made all the difference. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Janet to anyone considering a trip to this incredible part of the world.

15 days. Three countries. Countless memories. An easy five stars from us! Less

We really enjoyed it.
Our guide in Hanoi, Jerry, was great. The egg coffee was very good too, Zoe even brought some back!

Grandes viajes. Buen alojamiento, buenos guías

We booked our trip with BestPrice Travel and Rosie Nhung was a great help from the start. She made everything easy for us and made sure the transfers and bookings were right for what we needed. She also kept in touch during the trip and let us know about timings and other details. We were really happy with the service from Rosie and would definitely use BestPrice Travel again.

Hi Rosie,

Many thanks for helping us with the most amazing holiday. We really had a great time and saw so much during our trip.

Hanoi was lovely, although we probably could have done with another day there. The Heritage Ham Long Hotel was very nice and in a great location, close to central Hanoi and… More Hi Rosie,

Many thanks for helping us with the most amazing holiday. We really had a great time and saw so much during our trip.

Hanoi was lovely, although we probably could have done with another day there. The Heritage Ham Long Hotel was very nice and in a great location, close to central Hanoi and the lake. The city tour was also very good, especially the temples, craft centre and Ho Chi Minh memorial park. We found Train Street ourselves and thought it would have been nice to include this in the tour.

Ninh Binh was another highlight. The boat trips and National Park were beautiful, and the Lalita Boutique Hotel had lovely large bedrooms and excellent spa treatments. The hotel pool and restaurant could do with some improvement though.

Halong Bay was absolutely fantastic, including the 6am Tai Chi.

Hoi An was lovely too. Silkotel was very central and convenient, and Toni was a great guide. The fishing village and boat trip were very enjoyable and gave us a good insight into local life.

We also went to the Memories Show as a group and thought it was excellent.

Overall, a fabulous start to our holiday and we really appreciated all your help. Less
