The trip was really well organized, with Ms Mary providing good communication. We were constantly kept up to date and they were quick to respond to any questions we had. Mr Huy are experienced tour guides who took excellent care of us.
We thoroughly loved the trip, particularly the halal cuisine prepared specifically for us. We will unquestionably suggest Asia Legend Travel to relatives and friends.

This tour was a journey of a lifetime, wonderfully planned, thanks to Ms Mary, who were a delight to work with from start to finish. We really needed their experience and skills, and we couldn’t have done it without them. The accommodations were perfect, the guides were friendly and informative, the transportation was exquisite, and the activities and experiences were outstanding. We traveled across the whole country and were blown away by all that had been planned for our enjoyment. I can’t say enough nice things about this trip, and Asia Legend is not only extremely knowledgeable and constantly available, but also honest and trustworthy. Anyone contemplating a vacation to Vietnam should book this tour immediately!

We contacted Asia Legend Travel about a week before our trip to Vietnam. Mary was able to arrange transportation and full-day tours tailored to my family’s preferences within a few days. She went so far as to make sure that all activities were Halal-compliant. I would absolutely suggest Asia Legend Travel, and ask for Mary; she goes above and beyond to help and advise as best she can. She made certain that my elderly parents and the little children in our group were well taken care of.

“Wonderful and fun tour. Our guide Dung was very knowledgable and kept the group entertained with his knowledge and sense of humour.
The tour was well planned with just the right amount of time between activities. The food was very good and filling, and although we were advised in advance to take snacks, we didn’t need them as we were also provided with chips, biscuits and fruits to share before returning to airport.

This tour was a great way to see the local life of Vietnam! Three different areas along the tour with different activities. Great food and our guide Phong were amazing. He even picked me up individually from my hotel to bring me to the bus with the rest of the group – can’t recommend enough.

I recently had an extraordinary tour of Ha Long Bay, led by the incredible guide, Phong. His excellent time management, fluent English, and extensive knowledge enhanced the entire experience.

We hiked to a stunning viewpoint, kayaked through a cave to a hidden cove, and explored captivating caves. Phong’s expertise and enthusiasm made the journey safe, informative, and unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Phong for an exceptional Ha Long Bay adventure that you’ll cherish forever.

Absolutely fantastic tour
Thanh was very flexible with our itinerary.
She was super down to earth and took me around each famous sites of the tour.
She made a custom tour based on what I want to eat and drink and we shared a lot of laughs and personal stories about our lives and cultural differences.
She also taught me some Vietnamese to use to order some of my favorite foods.
Highly recommend to anyone.

Very impressed by the beauty of Halong, which is a beautiful unique Place. The cruise was very relaxing and one of the highlights was cruising back at sunset. We loved seeing the monkeys while kayaking and I have never been inside such a huge cave before. The food was excellent, and our tour guide was great. However, we were disappointed with the number of other boats on the water and the amount of people you were jostling with at each stop.

Very good quality of food. Vietnamese food is really good and cheap. I’ve tried lots of traditional dishes during this tour and OMG addicted with BUN CHA? The broth was so good that I cannot forget, and the pork meat smell really good also the taste.

Highly recommend.

Furthermore, they helped us to find some great local shop to buying food & souvenir, really appreciate that. Besides, we got a great time with our guide Ms. Mai during this tour!

Really enjoyed the tour with Mr. Dung, Hoi An is the best place that I still want to come back in the future. However, in Viet Nam, a lot of hawkers, they kept following and bagging me to bought local souvenirs. Still love the local culture here.

Andy was THE BEST! He was so incredibly knowledgeable and more than happy to answer any questions we had about the sites and Vietnamese culture in general. He made the day very easy and enjoyable often asking us for input on pacing and such. He even sent us wonderful recommendations for dinner and nightlife near our hotel. You will not be disappointed for going with Andy!

We had a great experience with our tour guide Hoa. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work. Even though the tour description doesn’t mention it the guides speak English and a very understandable one at that. We learned a lot about the History of Vietnam. If you are already in Viet Nam there is no reason not to do this tour.
