Amazing Trip

We had an amazing time in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Seim Reap. Our guides were prompt and easy to find, were easy to understand and very knowledgeable, and adjusted the plan based off of our interests. They were prompt with cold water and wet rags in the crazy humidity and kept things at our pace. We had one issue at a hotel and the team promptly resolved it. I highly recommend this group!

Trip To Vietnam

My wife and I traveled to Vietnam and Cambodia in April 2024, and we contacted Vietnam Tour Operator, particularly for our local travel arrangements and the cruise to Ha Long Bay. Our travel guide dealt with all our requests quickly and professionally. We were very pleased with her work, especially as she speaks very good English. This reassured us as it was our first trip to Vietnam. I highly recommend this operator.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
