Ms Kim - Crossing Vietnam is the best

I had a really great experience with Crossing Vietnam. From the very beginning, everything was handled in a very detailed and organized way. They prepared a day-wise travel plan that was extremely well thought out, clear, and easy to understand. Every place, activity, and timeline was planned perfectly. Although we finally could not go ahead with the trip due to some personal reasons, I still feel it’s important to write this review because the effort and quality of service they provided was exceptional. I personally dealt with Ms. Kim, and she was truly amazing. Her replies were always prompt, clear, kind, and very humble. She patiently answered all our questions, made changes whenever we requested, and always made us feel comfortable and confident about the plan. Her professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever come across a travel agency that is so responsive, well-organized, and genuinely helpful. Even though the trip didn’t happen this time, the planning experience itself was top-class. I would highly recommend Crossing Vietnam to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. And once I plan my personal travel again, I will definitely contact Ms. Kim directly without any second thought. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

A wonder of Hanoi/Halong Bay. Wonderful Memories

I am so happy with Stella. She took care of everything from the start when I was still in AUSTRALIA. Chatting with her on whatsap. She took time to arrange the itinerary to what I wanted. Arranged the visa for my Australian friends and what a trip we all had.. From the day we arrived 10/6 - 14/6 all was arranged so well. Stella went out of her way when we wanted to have the cycle clone ride and a personal guide for our night shopping. All the guides whom she had arranged for us were great. Thank you Stella for everything. 👍😀

Great plans, amazing views

Harley is very kind, customer-oriented and enthusiastic about her job. She organised my trip very well and sent me a PDF plan with all the information I needed. She gave me a lot of tips about what to see, she was very caring and she also checked on me during the trip. She organised for me also the days in Ninh Binh and the transfer by train to Hue. Everything went well. Would 100% recommend
