What Our Customers Saying...

Indochina yours from Day 1 of contacting them was responsive, truly speaking I don't know when the staff of Indochina tours actually takes hours of a day off.
Kim arranged the itinerary first for us and then passed it over to Helen. Helen has an amazing team looking into each details a family visiting the Indochina belt for the first time would require/need to know.
She was so meticulous in detailing that she would specify the dress codes expected on each day of the tour as we were visiting themes and stupas.
The hotels and the food arranged by Indochina was great, all of their guides were knowledgeable and friendly.
I would surely recommend Indochina tours to all, it's a totally different way to visit the Indochina belt and see it through the eyes of the locals.


We went on a 16 days trip to Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia with this Tour Company. They are exceptionally helpful and nice all throughout the process. From airport pick ups, tour guides, guided day tours and admin communication, definitely a 10/10 for us. My mom was the one who booked the tour with Ivy and I had a tour communication with Helen. Both are very helpful with the tour details and were able to explain everything to us and gave us the itinerary that we asked for.
For me the best part was in Siem Reap Cambodia, the guided tour in Angkor Wat was just too majestic and surreal. It was the best moment on our trip. Our guide, Mr. Vantha, was so knowledgeable and really made us welcome in Cambodia. His communication skills were exceptional and gave us a unforgettable tour.
Another exceptional tour we had was in Sapa, Vietnam. With our tour guide Ms. Mang Tan, she gave the experience where you get to engage with the local villagers and get to see their daily living. It was an awesome experience.
I thank the Indochina Team especially for Ivy and Helen for making this trip remarkable. Will definitely recommend!


I went to Ho Chi Minh, Siem Reap and Bangkok in May. The tour, just nine days, served as a good introduction to three different cities and cultures.
A shout out to Ivy Wu and Helen for working on logistics and to our tour guides Johnny, Sarin Mut and Nice for making this trip educational and thoroughly enjoyable.


We went through Indochina Tours a couple years ago for a trip through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and had a great time! So we had them organize a tour in Indonesia in Bali, Komodo national Park and Labuan Bajo with a boat trip to see the park and snorkeling. It was also a great trip!
They pay attention to detail and are concerned for our comfort and safety. Sreypov and Sreykea are so kind and easy to work with! Always willing to meet our needs and refine the itinerary to cover what we want to see. We truly appreciate them. We hope to go to Vietnam next year and will be using them for that trip, too. We highly recommend them!


Elena and Helen of IndoChina Tour arranged a fabulous,personalized tour of Vietnam and Bali for us. Vietnam is an amazing country, rich in culture, beautiful scenery and friendly people. Two weeks was not enough. Helen's arrangements were top notch, from guides to entry fees and travel, everything ran like clockwork.
The only issue we had was with Vietjet.com flights that were cramped and delayed. Bali was also great and when we had a problem with a guide in Bali, Helen immediately arranged a replacement.It was comforting to know that Helen could be contacted at any time.
Thank you Helen and Elena for such amazing service. We will definitely be using IndoChina Tour again. Jemmini, South Africa.


Maiky was extremely helpful throughout the process. We had ideas and she helped us to implement them, make recommendations and put together a very memorable trip. We felt safe every step of the way and had a driver and guide throughout, starting with our pick-up at the airport in Ho Chi Min City, through 4 in-country flights and back to the US 16 days later.
The guides were wonderful as well. Especially enjoyed John Tran, Pasquale, Luat and Luu Vu. Kea was also good at follow-up when needed. Angor Wat and the people of Cambodia were especially memorable as were Hoi An and the Mekong Delta. Thanks for a wonderful experience.


My mother and I went on a 4 star, 12 day tour of Thailand and Vietnam and it was hands down the best trip we have ever taken.
From the very beginning, they helped us make our itinerary exactly as we wanted it, including everything we wanted and omitting those that weren't all that interesting to us.
The whole Indochina Tour Staff was extremely kind and accommodating, the hotels were were nicely located and really comfortable.
Our tour guides were always on time both at the airport and to pick us up in the hotel every morning. The restaurants that they took us to were very tasty, had varied meal options and always kept in mind our dietary restrictions. All of our guides were very knowledgable, kind and made our whole experience memorable and very special.
Thailand and Vietnam were both really wonderful places with kind people, tasty food, amazing sights and a very rich culture.
I highly recommend Indochina Tour to make your trip amazing.
Thanks to Ivy and Helen for helping us plan, Mimi in Bangkok, Nat in Chiang Mai, Nam in Saigon, Luat in Hoi An and Nat Pham in Hanoi for making our trip the most wonderful experience.
Kindly,
Camila and Yuri
