Betty

"We went on a 2 week Vietnam tailor made tour with Mystical Asia. Peter was nothing but helpful. As a couple in our 50s I felt like Peter really understood our struggles and he designed a tour that was not too full on but it was still very enjoyable for us"

Sam

"Tbh I was a bit worried as a friend of mine booked a Vietnam trip with another travel agent and they said the budget hotels were a bit dirty and tour barely included any meals. The husband and I decided to give you guys a go and I wished my friends booked with you instead. The hotels we stayed in were amazing (epsecially La sesta I think in Hanoi) and Binh the tour leader was really helpful. It was a bit pricy but I guess you really get what you pay for. And as you said life is too short for crappy trips lol"

Diane

"I've been to Vietnam a few times but wanted to take the girlfriends over so they can explore the country. At first was a bit hard to plan by ourselves since all of us wanted to do different things. The itinerary that Peter designed for us was so flexible and it really had that balance between local experiences for myself and the touristy stuffs for my girlfriends. But overall we had an amazing time. so thank you."
