BestPrice Travel did provide a great services at competitive price
Our 8-day trip in North Vietnam, organized by Jane Pham, was both fascinating and fun. Best Price coordinates with various independent tour guides, drivers, and transport companies. We didn't have much direct contact with Best Price during our stay, but we were well taken care of. Sometimes we were unsure about the next day's plans, but we always got the information we needed a few hours before.
We chose the 4-star package and stayed in nice hotels with good breakfasts. Lunches ranged from fancy restaurant meals to simple, tasty dishes. No complaints there.
The tour guides were generally very good. We didn't pay for a private tour but ended up with a guide to ourselves on three days. One day, we spent several hours waiting in an uncomfortable café, and the guide that afternoon didn't speak much English. Other than that, we were happy with the guides.
There was a lot of coach travel on this tour, but the buses were comfortable and air-conditioned. For the last two days, we were handed over to a cruise boat company for the visit to Halong Bay. The cruise was a bit too packed with activities; a three-day cruise might be better if your budget allows.
Overall, it wasn't perfect, but we were generally pleased with the Best Price package. This is an active holiday, great for those who enjoy hiking and cycling. Vietnam is a hot country, and March was a great time to visit, with warm temperatures and the countryside looking beautiful with freshly planted rice.
