    Highly recommend Swallow Travel! This is a long overdue review. Well organized with joining different groups for different activities as well as having private tours. We were put in good hotels and all the different guides were great. We felt completely safe with Ms.Thuong from Swallow Travel being in constant contact with us through Whatsapp. My wife got sick during the trip and I had no problem contacting Ms.Thuong and changing plans. 5 stars!

    A friend recommended Swallow Travel for my trip to Vietnam . On my initial contact with them , I asked if they could put together an itinerary for a visit of 4 weeks . My initial contact was with Rosie Dinh who put together the itinerary , which I was more than happy with , also I could gage what the price would be for the package . But my plans weren’t concrete on first contact . A few weeks elapsed before I made contact again, when I had a firmer idea of my plans. A Vietnamese Visa is for 30 days , so asked them if they could make the itinerary for 30 days , with a few tweaks at the end , due to my flights . This they did with no hesitation, and drew up an amended itinerary in no time , my new point of contact was , Thuong Nguyen . She informed me that Rosie had moved on to pastures new . And I must admit the communication throughout was excellent, before and during the booking process . A 10% deposit was required on booking, with the remainder payed 6 weeks before departure. On my arrival at Vietnam , landing at Nội Bài airport Hà Nội , I didn’t have to think about anything. It was all organised, a driver was waiting to transfer me to my hotel . The whole month was organised very well, Ang Nguyen always kept me informed about pick up times for the next days trips , or transfers to the airport for internal flights . Advised me if there were changes to flight times etc . Normally I plan holidays myself, but to be honest choosing Swallow Travel to organise my Vietnam trip was the best decision I made , felt like royalty at times . They are an excellent company , and great to deal with . The itinerary was so varied, and balanced with quite a few rest days in between, which I’d asked for . I was able to see most of Vietnam’s highlights, and do some of my own things as well . Couldn’t recommend Swallow Travel highly enough . Great communication throughout, well organised itinerary, and the day trips were superb . Therefore, if your thinking of visiting Vietnam , I wouldn’t look any further than Swallow Travel . And the pricing will surprise you as well . Thuong Nguyen and Ang Nguyen will look after all your needs , they are a credit . Thank you both for a memorable trip

    Swallow Travel gets top star rating from us for organising an amazing tour from the north to the south of the country. Every pick-up and tours were on time and extremely well organised. The tour guides were excellent and made the tours fun.

    We purchased 14 day tour North to South Vietnam with Swallow Travel and were look after by Jenny. The tour was well organized, with on time pick up's, excellent tour guides & small groups. When we had an issue with our hotel in Hanoi due to building noise from across the street, we were transferred to another hotel with fuss or cost. I would highly recommend Swallow Travel if planning a trip to Vietnam.

    FANTASTIC is how I will describe this tour by Swallow Travel. Right from our first communications after booking this tour, during and after our trip, they were always available to answer any queries from us. Jenny, who was our contact was amazing, she deserves a 10☆ rating all by her self. The tour was incredibly well organised, all pick-ups were on time and each tour was so well organised with fantastic guides. None of the groups were big, which suited us and on one of our tours there were only the two of us and the guide. All of the guides were excellent. Each day is a new adventure in Vietnam and we're aware it's a well trodden route but it's so well done and we felt so thrilled to be part of it for a while. Yes, it has very busy towns and cities with scooters coming towards you from every angle but you soon learn how to manage. The only mistake we made was that we booked separately, a guided food tour one evening. It really is not value for money ($25 each) and the food was not good at all. You can get much better food for a fraction of the price. (That's our only gripe) Thanks again to TourRadar (who we will use again) and Swallow tours for giving us this amazing experience.

    It was my first experience buying tailored trip. It's very pleasant to be taken care of, when you go through airport gates and somebody is waiting for you already. Check in made, boarding passes printed, nothing much to stress about, just weather :). The only change I'd make in trip itinerary now - I'd spend 4 nights in Ho Chi Min and 3 in Hoi An. But that's my personal preference - big cities. And I think you could make such arrangements prior a trip, because representatives of Swallow Travel (in my case it was Ms. Thuong Nguyen) communicate willingly and answer all your questions. All transportation was easy and flawless, tours which I joined during trip interesting and well organised, small groups. Some of hotels chosen for this trip I liked better than the others, but all of them met standard requirements and were located conveniently. So overall I'm really happy with my first experience with Tourradar platform, Swallow Travel company and my agent Thuong Nguyen especially, thank you! Can honestly recommend their services to every traveler.

    We have travelled twice to Vietnam; the first time to Hoi Ann and Nha Trang where we experienced two very different cities. Our second visit in August this year took in Ho chi minh, Hue and Hanoi. Once again Swallow Travel and in particular Thuong excelled. Her arranging of our internal flights, accommodation and private tours was beyond expectations and made our stay in Vietnam most enjoyable and memorable. Her regular contact via email ensured all went smoothly and nothing was too much bother. My partner and I have no hesitation in recommending Swallow Travels to anyone wanting to visit Vietnam

    Thanks Swallow Travel for an unforgettable 16-day trip in Vietnam. Every aspect of the communication excelled from the outset. The itinerary was customized to fit our requirements and every detail was taken care of. It was a VIP experience from start to finish. The tours were top class with lots of interesting activities while each hotel had character and all were most welcoming. The meals were exciting with an emphasis on local cuisine. The tour represented outstanding value for money!

    Holiday of a lifetime - AMAZING! We organised our tour with Jenny from Swallow Travel - from our very first contact, the service we received was first class. Replies to any of our questions or requests were answered promptly. We were very at ease even before we travelled based on any contact I had with Jenny while organising our trip. Without a doubt this was the best holiday myself and my husband ever had. Hotels were great, excursions were excellent and all our pick ups to and from the airports and our hotels went without a hitch. I would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking of booking with them or thinking of touring Vietnam and Cambodia. EXCELLENT!!! Alison & Kenneth Byrne Dundalk, Co Louth, Ireland
