Beutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon!

Beutiful 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

A great booking experience.

A 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
by Tripadvisor
We 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.

He was incredibly kind, spoke excellent English, and shared a wealth of knowledge about the city’s history, culture, and landmarks.
We visited the Ho Chi Minh Complex and the Temple of Literature, and in the afternoon, we enjoyed the Water Puppet Show. At our request, Long even took us shopping and patiently helped us find what we were looking for. He also chose a great restaurant where we had a delicious Vietnamese lunch.
It was truly a fabulous day, and we were sad to say goodbye. I highly recommend having Long as your guide - he made our Hanoi experience unforgettable! Less
Tom was a good and knowledgeable guide. He was flexible and asked a lot of questions what I want to do. He covered all the mentioned attractions in a good pace and we were also visiting the Train Street when a train came!

Mr. Tung was exceptionally friendly, highly knowledgeable, and communicated effectively throughout our tour. He guided us to key attractions, including the prison, the temple, and a fantastic local restaurant, ensuring we had a well-rounded experience of Hanoi's rich history and culture. His thoughtful recommendation to visit Train Street added a unique touch to our day, and he even suggested additional food spots for us to explore afterward. Mr. Tung’s efficiency and warm personality made the tour thoroughly enjoyable.
We stayed at the Palago Hotel, which was an excellent choice for our time in Hanoi. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located within walking distance of the local markets, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. The combination of a comfortable stay at Palago Hotel and Mr. Tung's outstanding guidance made our visit to Hanoi a memorable part of our trip to Vietnam. Less
Thank you Hien Kim - appreciated!
We have had a terrific time so far in Hanoi - the foodie tour last night with TOM was amazing! And today we had the half city tour of Hanoi with Peter who was the best!
Both of these young men are a credit to your company - we are so pleased with how our trip is going so far. The pick up at the airport was also very good. Look forward to every day ahead!
I recently joined a full-day tour in Hanoi, and it was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the day enjoyable.
Overall, this tour provided a great overview of Hanoi's culture and history. The guide was excellent, and the schedule was well-balanced. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Hanoi.
