We went on a private trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, the whole trip plan was organized for us by the Impress Travel Company from Vietnam, the company did an amazing job, the whole trip was organized in a wonderful way with an amazing match between the various parties, their choices were correct and the quality of the hotels chosen were very high quality and it is important to note that the price was low in comparison To other agencies, thanks to Impress Travel and especially to Daniel who was tolerant and open to changes and organized the route for us.
Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.

This is a short-traveled package to explore Vietnam’s largest city (Ho Chi Minh city or Saigon) and the most prominent beauty-spots, culture, history & people in South Vietnam.
Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) consistently accommodates the good deal of interesting things to explore the beauty-spots, gain an understanding of people, culture & history.
Southern Vietnam is a land favored by nature, where there is a special, beautiful and rich ecosystem all year round, associated with the simple culture of the people.
Pristine beaches, beautiful landscapes, fresh seafood are what make Vung Tau attractive to foreign voyagers. So comming to Ho Chi Minh City, come to Vung Tau coastal city...
