The hotels, especially the one in Hanoi, were fantastic. The staff there were really friendly and made sure we were happy. We loved the breakfast and the service was excellent. Our trip to Mai Chau was fun, and our guide was nice and wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Most of our guides were great, especially the one in Hoi An. But the guide in Saigon was always in a rush and didn't seem to have time for us. She did help me on the Mekong Delta, though. But overall, everyone we met was really friendly and helpful, and everything else went smoothly. Thanks for helping us have such a memorable trip! Less

But what really made this tour stand out was the people. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the country and its history, and the locals we met were so welcoming and friendly. We even got to stay in a homestay in a small village, which was a really special experience. Less

1. Ho Chi Minh City/ can be called Sai Gon:
- Independence Palace: great, we gained more knowledge about the country's history
- War Remnants Museum: Wish we had more time to explore since the museum is big with countless things to see
2. Cu Chi Tunnels:
- the underground system is interesting to explore, with many small corners inside. Not suitable for people with claustrophobia
3. Hoi An - My Son Sanctuary
- great exploration! the guide was excellent too, he introduced us about the history of champa kingdom
4. Phong Nha Cave:

This review is for the Deep Insight 18-day tour of only Vietnam. We chose a small private group tour of four family members with Superior 3* hotels.

My first impression of Best Price Travel was their willingness to tailor our trip specific to our needs/desires. We ultimately chose our travel dates based on the most economical international flights plans. Our trip was modified to 23 days to allow for additional free day added an internal flight to accommodate a round trip international fare, upgraded the HaLong Bay cruise boat (Peony Cruise/increased duration to two nights). Our original travel timeframe was impacted by the pandemic. Instead of cancelling Best Priced Travel honored our same plans for April, 2023. Because of our postponement, we worked with different travel agents (Tina Tran and Hang Moon). Both agents responded timely; were knowledgeable and pleasant.
The hotels we stayed at were very good Superior 3* hotels with some leaning higher up to First Class 4*. All of our hotels had a breakfast that was typically expansive with traditional Western and Vietnamese menu items (eggs, omelets, toast, Pho, spring rolls, local fruit, juices and coffee). Only one hotel of all our hotels was not up to par. Our tour guide mentioned that it had fallen in quality since the pandemic.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience on our Deep Insight vacation. All of our tour guides were fluent in English and great hosts. The drivers were excellent (required if you are to drive in Vietnam). Every transit connection and tour were timely. Even with our delayed international arrival after midnight and our 4am departure back home, our drivers were dependable and on time. This allowed us to be able to relax and not worry about the numerous multiple connections. Every bit of this was successfully arranged by our agents. Everyone was happy that we were finally able to enjoy this trip. I would definitely recommend utilizing Best Price Travel. They were able to provide us with an economical, customized, and personal trip with friendly, dependable staff and nice lodgings. And the trip was well worth our three year wait! Less
