Good city tour - After our business in Ho Chi Minh City, I went on a private tour of the city with my colleague. We visited some places we wanted to visit, and we were able to spend a fulfilling time with a delicious lunch. Thank you again to Anna for your help this time.

14 days Vietnam and Cambodia private tour - We booked a 14-day tour to Vietnam and Cambodia with Ms. Hang from Bestprice Travel. Everything was very well organised. All drivers picked us from airport and dropped us at hotels on time. All hotels were very good and so were our guides. The whole trip was value for money. All meals were delicious. It was a customised private tour which was very well organised by Ms. Hang. We definitely recommend her. We had a lovely holiday. Thank you so much Best Price Travel.

Incredible knowledge and a way with words - Our tour guide Bau, was my favorite part! His demeanor and knowledge as well as they way he was able to explain the history of the country while visiting the different places was expert! It’s just what you want/expect from a private tour. He was fantastic as was the sites we toured.

GREAT TRIP - I have just finished the essential Vietnam tour with these guys! Jenny was my rep and ever since I connected with her late 2018 when I started planning for this trip she was amazing. I was a solo traveler went north from Saigon to Hanoi and Hoi An in between. My Saigon and Hoi An hotels were amazing. I did not like my Hanoi hotel lets leave it at personal preference and it was no trouble for Jenny and team to get me a new hotel as requested. My favourite part of the trip was Hoi An. The Halong Bay overnight cruise was pretty impressive. Very very good value for money and met lovely travellers along the way. I highly recommend and will use them again on my next trip to Vietnam. One trip is not enough for this amazing country.

Excellent Service - We did a 9 day itinerary with Best Price which included the half day Saigon walking tour. The young man who was our guide was very good.
Both the individual tours and the service we received from Best Price were excellent.We made made many changes during the planning stage and our agent, Hang moon was fantastic. All queries were immediately followed up. Helpful, patient and efficient, even with things like a lost toiletries bag.
Hang Moon was in constant contact with us to ensure things were going smoothly.

Playwright - Our guide, Mai had a huge smile when we first met her after a 21 hour flight!
She immediately made us feel at home, secure and in good hands!
Although we were exhausted she was DETERMINED we would miss nothing! We didn’t, and she accommodated our needs by using taxis when she realized we were fading!
Congratulations to Best Price Travel for having such a dedicated and caring employee!
