They helped us in a holistic way, arranging all we needed from a long list of transports that we needed, whole day impressive local tours, and really last minute changes.

Leonora Howe1 year agoI booked the 4 days 3 nights Ha Giang tour with VietNam Venture and had a really good experience. The trip was well-organized, the guide was friendly and helpful, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The itinerary covered beautiful spots in Ha Giang, and the homestays were comfortable and welcoming. Overall, it was a great way to explore Ha Giang without any stress.

Mario Cuenca1 year agoMy experience in Cat Ba was very good, and partly thanks to Vietnam Venture. After asking around at several travel agencies, I ended up with the one where Ninh works (VietNam Venture). From then on, I had complete peace of mind when planning tours, trips, and more. I couldn't worry about anything thanks to the trust Ninh instilled in me, the information she gave me, her willingness to help... 100% recommended.Response from the owner1 year agoThank you so much

Hanna Müller1 year agoI booked two tours and my bus ride to Hanoi with Vietnam venture and had a great time on the boat. Everything was perfectly organized. The tour guides spoke very well English and provided information throughout the day and at each stop. Besides they were very friendly, caring and funny. Also the bus ride was very good. A big bus with plenty of pace and good communication for pickup time. Direct pickup at the accommodation was very convenient.Response from the owner1 year agoThank you so much Hanna
