North of Vietnam Tour | testimonials

MinMax is an excellent travel company.

I hope all is well. We returned to the States two days ago and unfortunately still experiencing jet-lag. I would like to thank you and MinMax Travel Company for providing us such great service. We really enjoyed our stay and have nothing but good things to say about Vietnam. One thing we both REALLY appreciate was the hotel room that was booked at Larasa after our overnight train from Sapa to Hanoi. We were really grateful that we had a place to...

Allow me to express my and my wife's gratitude for the excellent tour that you organised for us.

Dear Jennifer, Allow me to express my and my wife's gratitude for the excellent tour that you organised for us. All the hotels that you chose for us were wonderful. The meals we had were all outstanding and the places we visited were certainly worth the journey. I will certainly recommend your firm to my friends.

I highly recommend MinMax travel

Jennifer from MinMax travel organised our 1 month honey moon with private tour and guides. All our guides were very professional and spoke good English. Each hotel that we stayed in was spotless with perfect service. We started our experience in Hanoi and went all the way down to Phu Quoc. Jennifer is a very professional and nice person she also came to meet us before we took the train to Sapa on her day off. I would recommend MinMax travel.

Enjoyed Hoa Lu Tam Coc Day Trip

We really enjoyed the day, the guide was really knowledgeable and the area lovely. The only concern is perhaps timing, we started with a one-hour delay and came back exactly as planned. I think that perhaps slightly more packed programme would be better, eg adding one more stop at some nice place. On the whole, the trip was really good. Thank you very much! ”

Ms. Petra Menova - Czech

Fantastic organization with a very nice guide, trip by car

We booked a two day Sapa tour to see the rice fields. As my wife is somewhat claustrophobic, we chose to do the trip by car. Not a problem at all, as the trip was not that long - instead of taking the night train to Lao Cai and then having 2 hours transfer to Sapa, we left at 6.30 from Hanoi arriving in Sapa at 11h, which was perfect. It allowed us to check-in to the hotel, go for a nice lunch and then stroll through the rice fields and even have a...

Thank you so much organize our trip

Thank you so much organize our trip. We arrived home safe but tired. We had a wonderful time and everything went smoothly thanks to you and your team. Everything was arranged exactly as you had planned. The hotels were all great and in wonderful locations. The farming experience in Ho An was a definite highlight of ours, but so was everything else! The kids and myself enjoyed the whole trip. All the guides were good and knowledgeable. Thank you once...

Trip of a lifetime!

Just returned from 20 days in Vietnam and Thailand! Absolutely amazing trip. Jennifer @ MinMax Travel delivered 100% on our trip. Customized it for us, including extra flights, tours, hotel rooms. She did a wonderful job! Being from North America it was refreshing to deal with her across the world and I can say from the time we landed she did not have even 1 mistake, no missed pickups, no late pickups, no issues checking in to hotels (most did not even...

3 weeks Vietnam with Minmax Travel fantastic

We booked our family trip with Minmax Travel and it was fantastic! From Hanoi to Halong Bay to Sapa to Hue to Hoi An. Everything was well arranged and all tour guides were good speaking English and very nice!

I will certainly recommend your company to my friends.

Dear Jennifer, Firstly apologies of not writing to you sooner than this. Had to catchup with the work during my absence. Both my wife and myself enjoyed your Tour hospitality and every thing, If I say in short. Did not have any negatives or short comings to complain. But one thing you may consider improve is the Restaurant we had lunch in Hanoi not up to the expectation. For the benefit of your company something you could consider for...

We will definitely use your tour company again in the future!

Hello Julia! We are back in Hawaii safe and sound. The trip was probably one of the most memorable trips my husband and I have ever had. I love that the tour involved various means of transportation (elephant rides, vans, hiking, and tandem biking). One of the best experiences I had was the bicycle ride. I appreciate the booking of a tandem bike very much! The only complaint that my husband and I had was the discomfort we felt with the bike seat...

We had a great holiday in Thailand with many great memories and experiences.

Hi Jennifer We had a great holiday in Thailand with many great memories and experiences. Our guide in Bangkok was wonderful. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and shared his knowledge with us. He could not have been more helpful to us. He helped us learn how to catch the train in Bangkok. I am sure that you have heard about the bus that we had in Bangkok that was not good. It was not such a good day with a broken down bus but we got through it and...

Our family to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam

Jennifer of MinMax travel arranged a 3 week trip for our family of four to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. We did extensive sightseeing in all 3 countries. The trip was well organized, the hotels were good as were the tour guides. The price was better than other agencies offered for similar trips. Jennifer quickly responded when out initial flight was delayed and re-arranged the pick-up at Bangkok airport. I was initially nervous about dealing with...

Thank you so much for contributing to a wonderful, memorable holiday.

Dear Jennifer, It was lovely to meet you in Hanoi. We had a totally fantastic trip and are so pleased that we went with MinMax tours.

We had a great trip to Vietnam

Jennifer, We had a great trip to Vietnam and we are doing well. My husband went to a hospital in Bangkok and had his shoulder looked at. They gave him a sling that works well and keeps his arm away from his body at the correct position. He is healing well and feeling very little pain. We will be sharing your information with our friends here because our trip was wonderful. It was great to leave Bangladesh and enjoy your...

Reasonable price and absolutely service.

When we were in Hanoi, tour operator at our hotel insisting us buying train tickets from them. I refused and said we already had an agent arranged it for us. He tried to sell to us for $45/ticket (standard cabin on Livitrans) my goodness luckily we didn’t buy from them. Later we spoke to MinMax Travel and we were advised that Livitrans ticket is only about $30. Without their warning we would have been ripped off. Thanks so much, we really...

We had an excellent experience with MinMax

Hi Julia - Overall, we had an excellent experience with MinMax. You and your company were very professional, you responded in a very prompt manner (despite the very short notice we gave to you), and you provided a quality tour with Tom, an excellent and informative guide. As a suggestion for improvement, whatever driver you send to pick up your customers at the ship port should have a sign with the customer’s name on it and the...
