Excellent Service and Very Kind to My Elderly Mother

Excellent service from Hai Phong Tours. The communication was quick and clear, and the drivers were kind, careful, and punctual. They were especially considerate of my elderly mother, which we really appreciated. I would definitely use their service again.

Wr used Hai Phuong Tours for transfers in northern Vietnam during our 3 week trip there. They arranged private transfers for my family (and our many suitcases) between 4 cities. They were extremely responsive (sometimes in a matter of seconds), extremely efficient, very flexible, and affordable. The drivers and cars were great. Always waiting for us on time as agreed. Very clear communication. This is an outstanding travel agency. I wish I had used them for all aspects of our trip not just the transfers. Next time we will. Highly recommend!
