Unmatched Vietnam experience

I just got back from an amazing trip, and I owe it all to Mary Duong! From the very start, Mary made the planning process so easy and enjoyable. She really took the time to get to know what I was looking for and put together a fantastic itinerary that perfectly matched my interests.

Her recommendations were spot on—every hotel, restaurant, and activity was a hit! I loved how she included some hidden gems that I would have never found on my own. Mary was always available to answer my questions and offer tips, which made me feel so supported throughout the trip.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows the ins and outs of travel, Mary is your go-to person. I can’t recommend her enough! Thanks, Mary, for making my trip unforgettable!

Reputable agency for a great vacation

I know the New Asia Tours agency from the introduction of my friends. At first, I’m not sure about how to plan a long trip from Vietnam to Combodia. After consulting a few tours of NEW and some of their policies, I know that this one is suitable for me.
The tour appears to offer a variety of activities and excursions, allowing travelers to delve into the local culture, history, and natural beauty of each destination. Whether it’s a morning greeting the dawn of the sea at Halong Bay ora day to explore the Angkor Thom & Bayon, there seems to be something for every type of traveler.
Moreover, there was not any struggle for us to travel between 2 countries because everything had been planned so well. Whether it’s by comfortable coach, domestic flights, or river cruises, the tour guide always ensured seamless transitions and minimized travel-related stress for us
