Rosie was the one who planned our 9 days trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and she has done a fantastic job. We emailed her at all hours of the day and night with queries, and she always got back to us right away. I've never had such wonderful care. It was a wonderful trip as we stayed at some fantastic four-star lodgings that are conveniently located. My father, who is 82 years old, is very appreciative of this trip and the beautiful memories we are making together. We could never have planned this so perfectly on our own but thanks to Rosie, the journey fit our needs, and we added a day at the conclusion to chill out. I will definitely ask Auasia Travel to travel again on my next trip to the area! Thank you, Mr. Nguyen, in Ho Chi Minh for taking such good care of us, and thank you, Rosie, for arranging such a wonderful vacation.Less

We had a wonderful tour for about 2 weeks !! Auasia Travel designed an ideal tour for me - they were very excellent, dependable, attentive, and reliable and I booked a tour at an unbelievable price. Work with Hang Moon if you want that kind of service! We, a family of five, chose to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia in early December and purchased plane tickets for the Christmas period, arriving in Hanoi on Dec 26 and departing Jan 6 from Phnom Penh.
With the help from Auasia Travel, we had a tour to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Several meals as well as all entry fees were covered. Everything went as planned, with the guides being accommodating at the last minute at our request. The cars and guides arrived on time, if not a little early.
We had to pay a bit more for the Halong Bay Cruise because of peak season, but we ended up getting the President Suite! If we had more time, I would have added Hue and Sapa to our itinerary in Vietnam. Throughout the trip, Hang Moon remained in frequent communication to answer queries and make small timing changes.Less
