    Ashok's 10 days trip to Hanoi

    My wife and I went on a Vietnam & Cambodia vacation trip which was quite delightful. The people in both the countries are welcoming and friendly. SVietnamtrips organised our travels and we are grateful for their great work. Gracie Pham helped me with the planning of the trip from the very beginning.
    She suggested the itinerary and customised it for our needs. She was patient and accommodative through that entire process. The trip itself which we undertook in May 2025 was quite perfect, everything organised as per the plans and it went off very well. SVietnamtrips also took care of organising visas and air travels locally. We had special needs, being vegetarians, and it was well taken care of. Based on our plans, we had enough rest days and personal time which we enjoyed a lot. Good English speaking tour guides were arranged wherever we went! I would rate the planning and execution very high and to our full satisfaction and would like to thank Gracie, Ms. Tina and their team for a wonderful vacation!

    Asharma's 5 days trip to Hanoi

    Our vietnam trip was very good. The itinerary was very well designed. The cabs and shuttles were god as well. The only issue was with hotel selection. The hotels could have been slightly better. The hotels didn't have sufficient veg options and we were compelled to eat outside. Nor were the services
    in hotels very good. Apart from that, the trip was great.

    5 Stars - An Unforgettable Vietnam Experience! We recently returned from our Vietnam trip (7th May to 13th May) organized by Travel Triangle, and we can't stop raving about it! Right from the planning stage to the final drop at the airport, everything was extremely smooth, flawless, and absolutely
    memorable. Our itinerary covered Hanoi City, the famous Train Street, Halong Bay cruise, the stunning landscapes of Ninh Binh, the charming streets of Hoi An, vibrant Da Nang City, and the absolute highlight of the trip – the magical Ba Na Hills. Every location was perfectly curated and timed, giving us a beautiful blend of nature, culture, and relaxation. Thanks to Travel Triangle for making this journey so seamless. The coordination, local guides, accommodation, and transfers were all top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-managed and memorable international trip. A special mention for Ba Na Hills – it felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. The Golden Bridge, cool mountain air, and the entire ambiance were simply surreal.
