Explorient Travel

"We are still putting together a few pictures and small videos that I’d love to sent you when completed to just show our appreciation. Vietnam put its hook and us and based on the service from you and Explorient, our next trip to Asia will definitely go through you. Thank guys!"

Overall, it was a great trip. Explorient was well organized and true to their word. The guides were knowledgable and accomodating. The tour included a private min-van driving from DaNang to Hanoi (15 hours) with the giude accompaning us all the way. The guide made the long hard trip very interresting. We got to see the country first hand, but would not recommend driving unless you overnight along the way and take time to enjoy the beaches.

"I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and happy New Year to you. I returned from my trip and must say that is was amazing! The guides were fabulous, everything organized so perfectly and I had the time of my life, thanks again for your wonderful services. Vietnam is such a beautiful and interesting country; I hope to return there sometime soon."

"My wife and I would like to send this letter to express our appreciation and to thank to your staff member for all the services and supports she had provided us during our stay in Vietnam. Please send our special and sincere thanks to Ms. Thu Anh"

"We can’t thank you enough for our wonderful trip to Vietnam, it was absolutely perfect from beginning to and! All of the arrangements, tours, guide, and hotels were fantastic. Our guides in Hanoi and Saigon were just fabulous. We had a great time and will certainly tell our friends about your service."

"Just quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful trip visiting Vietnam and Cambodia! We enjoyed staying at the hotels you’ve suggested, and our guides were knowledgeable. Also, getting through Hanoi airport’s immigration was easier than anticipated."

"I expect your ears were burning over the last two weeks, we spoke very kindly of you in each of the destinations we visited. We had a fantastic time and all of your arrangements were flawless! Every hotel was very special, every guide was gracious and well qualified, we especially enjoyed Nam in Vietnam and Chunan in Cambodia. Every one of the flights was even on time, all in all an amazing trip."

"I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to let you know that Kate and I had a wonderful time on our trip through Indochina. Thank you so much for all the work you did organizing the trip. The guides were wonderful and everything went according to schedule, with was amazing considering how many cities we visited. We were extremely impressed with Explorient and would be happy to provide a recommendation to any prospective customers if you would like us to."

"I especially appreciated your helping me purchase blue jeans. It was cold and wet in SAPA and I would have been very uncomfortable without my blue jeans. We had a safe trip home and Vietnam will always be a special memory for us."

"Everything worked out perfectly, not even one problem or concern. Your arrangement was perfect: the train, hotels, planes, guides, transfers, tours and hotel were the greatest and all helped us have a fantastic adventure! 14 days of pure memories."
