This was a trip of a lifetime. It was made that by the expert planning and arrangements made by Ngoc, and the services of our guides, Mr. Phong in the Hanoi area, and Mr. Vinh in the central areas. Their expertise and knowledge of the geography and history of this most fascinating country and its people is no less than amazing. Our drivers, Mr. Cuong and Mr. Choung were outstanding. All of them were most courteous and punctual; they made our comfort and safety their top priority.
I am a veteran of “The American War” and my goal was to take my wife to visit some of the places where I had been while I was there in 1970 and 1971. Much has changed in those forty-some-odd years and most of the landmarks that I remember from those days no longer exist. But with the expert help of these professionals I was able to achieve my goal.
Vietnam is a beautiful country and the people are equally wonderful. They are always friendly, cheerful and kind. We were always at ease with them, with never a worry for our safety. We spent 16 days in Vietnam with overnight stays in six different cities and one night aboard a junk in Ha Long Bay. There were two in-country air flights and many miles journeyed on the roads and highways. All our plans were carried out with hardly a hitch, and when one scheduling conflict did surface, it was handled expeditiously and expertly with one telephone call.
The scenery was beautiful and the food was always especially good. The total cost of this adventure was amazingly low. Vietnam is a great bargain. Ngoc and her associates are at the top of their craft.
Vietnam Veteran tour 16 day (March 7-22, 2012)
My wife and I want to thank you for the amazing trip that you arranged for us to China and Vietnam. Ngoc was incredibly responsive and patient as we kept changing our itinerary, leading up to a trip we will never forget. My wife was anxious about going on this trip because we never spoke with Ngoc on the phone and ‘what if’ the guides didn’t show up? All of her fears were unfounded and gone the minute we got off the plane and were met by our guide.
Our guides and drivers were always on-time to greet us, to accompany us on our itinerary and answer our many questions about the area. They did more than we could have expected to help me find the places where I was stationed when I served in Vietnam 45 years ago. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and incredibly willing to please. They truly thought of our comfort and well-being. The hotels Ngoc suggested were wonderful. We couldn’t have had a more perfect trip.
We highly recommend Ngoc and Funinvietnam.com if anyone is considering a trip to Vietnam. You will not be disappointed!
China and Vietnam holiday 10 days (March, 2012)
“A trip to both remember and make new memories”
We began planning for a trip to Vietnam over a year before we planned to go. Larry is a 1969-1970 Vietnam Army Veteran who served in ¾ Cav, 25th Infantry Division, Cu Chi/Tay Ninh. We wanted to find a blend of the nature and beauty of Vietnam and to see the places Larry served. We found exactly what we were looking for at Fun in Vietnam.
Ngoc was so patient and helpful as we went through 5 different versions of the itinerary before we found the perfect plan. What we did not really understand is that every day we would have a personal guide and driver who took care of all of our needs. That was wonderful and a welcome change for the two of us who usually travel very independently (usually using public transportation) and have been all over the world. Especially for Vietnam Veterans the guide and driver are really important to assist with finding the specific places of interest and relevance to the vet.
For example, for the places Larry wanted to go, there is no public transportation, and lodging would have been a complete challenge. Further, given the heavy traffic and driving patterns in Vietnam we would not recommend that Americans try to drive on their own. One option that our guides mentioned is that Fun in Vietnam arranges guided motorbike tours for tourists and/or veterans. The guides that we worked with were wonderful at history, culture, food, entertainment, and above all sensitivity to American Vietnam Veteran’s needs.
Their English was very good too. Above all, the guides were flexible and listened to our preferences and needs throughout the days we spent with them. It was like sharing experiences with new friends. The guides were all clearly thrilled to work for Fun in Vietnam, which speaks highly of the organization. We can’t say enough positive about our Fun in Vietnam vacation and would highly recommend the services to anyone interested in a personalized trip to experience the beauty of the country and its people. Peace and safe travels.
Vietnam holiday 15 days (March, 2012)
My wife and I have traveled to Vietnam several times, but because she is from Vietnam and we both speak the language, we never bothered working with a tour operator. Besides, in this day and age when you can get suggestions, read reviews and even book every aspect of your travel directly on-line, why would you ever want to use a tour operator? This was my way of thinking in the past, but now, thanks to the wonderful service provided by More Fun Travel, I will never make that mistake again.
I was concerned at first in placing all of my trust in people I didn’t know and a company I wasn’t familiar with – there are legitimate stories of people not getting what was promised and some not getting anything at all, and in the worst case scenario, people had their hard earned money taken from them. I promise that when you work with More Fun Travel, your money is safe, your plans are secure and your dream of having a wonderful vacation/holiday will be fulfilled. I’m even giving them credit for breaking the heat spell so my wife and I could have gorgeous weather during our entire trip.
More Fun Travel truly is a credible organization. They were very honest in reviewing my initial travel plan and offered suggestions that not only saved me money, but saved me precious time. I am certain our trip would have cost a considerable amount more had I tried to book directly online, and had I waited to get to the country to make my plans (a mistake that is suggested time and again on travel review sites), I’m certain I wouldn’t have gotten the bookings that would have fit my schedule. What’s amazing about this point is I moved my trip up by five months, and gave More Fun Travel less than 36 hours to make everything work for me. They did it just fine! From getting us our visas, a train and accommodations to Sa Pa, the right boat and itinerary in Ha Long Bay, plus 2 in-country flights (hard to do during the Reunification Day holiday), they pulled it all together, plus hotels, private transportation and guides, and all my wife and I had to do was show up.
I am very grateful to More Fun Travel for going above and beyond to make sure our trip was everything we could hope for. Truth is though, that going above and beyond is just the way they like to do business. I highly recommend everyone giving More Fun Travel an opportunity to give you a quote on your Vietnam vacation/holiday. Not only are their prices extremely competitive, using their services will make your trip so much more relaxing and fun.
We had a truly fantastic time. For both of us it was unusual to be taken care of on all sides, as we had the pleasure to experience your company. Normally we organise things ourselves and we travel alone, but then we would usually know at least to some extent the local language.
It was very nice to have Phong and his friends as guides. Having available their knowledge about people and country was certainly one of the many colours that brought together the overall very rich picture. Seeing and experiencing Asia from another side was truly extending our horizon. We all are only getting the information that is available through newspapers, tv and the other public communication channels, which makes our picture invariable to be skewed. This certainly applies to what we have experienced having limited insight into the Indochinese domain due to the political climate. So our visit certainly has adjusted some of these pictures.
We returned full with impressions, pictures and experiences, whilst having the feel seen only a small part being hungry for more. We felt warmly about many of the people we met, is it Phong, Winh, Lee the drivers but also people we met on the road here and there. All the little events, like meeting a girl during a flash-rain in Hoi An, the waitress in the little only – Vietnamese restaurant we were on our last evening in Saigon, a family selling cards on the road, the self-regulating traffic conditions, to mention a few.
Your company has given us the possibility to see and experience your country. Operation and service were very reliable and professional, whilst being pleasantly people-oriented. My compliments, not only are you very professional and passionate when making the arrangement, but it has all been smooth and pleasant independent on what aspect that comes to mind.
Shortly: we had a very good time indeed.
Vietnam holiday 17 days (July 2012)
Our experience with More Fun Travel was phenomenal. Their home based office was right by where we were staying at in Hanoi so we walked over to do our tour arrangement. We met Ngoc and her husband.
They were extremely accommodating and friendly and put together a great trip last minute for us. The drivers/transportation/guides were all great. We felt totally comfortable the entire trip. We definitely recommend More Fun Travel and would use their services again!
Thanks for everything Ngoc
Vietnam holiday 9 days (September 2012)
On behalf of my husband and I (from Singapore), my 2 friends from England and my 2 sons (aged 6 & 8), a very big thank you for making our trip to Vietnam one to remember. You were so understanding of our needs and after we changed our itinerary about 4 times – the final draft was perfect. We had limited time to spend and wanted to do everything and managed to see lots of interesting things and hear all about the history and present day of Vietnam from our excellent tour guide, Phong. Phong was more than adaptable to our needs, considering we had 2 young kids who he looked after so well, and also 4 adults wanting to enjoy ourselves, he did a fantastic job and has a great sense of humour as well as being extremely knowledgeable. We had a cycle trip round Hanoi, saw the puppet show, went to the ‘locals’ bar for fresh beer, spent a night on the Junk boat, caught fresh squid from the boat, swam in the bay, had rowing boat trips, saw caves, floating villages, fish farms, stayed on Cat Ba Island – and lots more all in 4 days – this would never have been possible without the pre-organisation from your company and the guidance of our tour guide.
We have never used a tour company before, but after this trip would certainly recommend it to anyone. They take out the stress and uncertainties that you can experience in a different country. Most importantly, we felt very safe and well advised the whole time, allowing us to enjoy every moment. We decided what we wanted to do and they created an itinerary that was perfect – we were chauffeured everywhere, our hotels were pre-booked, all the meals supplied which were great and varied, the staff were excellent – and all at a great price – they even sorted our entry visa’s for us which was a great bonus.
We will definitely see you again in the future and I would recommend your company to anyone traveling to Vietnam. ‘Fun in Vietnam’ is the perfect name for your company!
North Vietnam Holiday 5 days
From our experience, More Fun Travels is the only way to travel in Vietnam. We were so impressed with the planning and detail in our 20-day trip to Vietnam & Angkor Wat set up by More Fun Travel.
Ngoc, the company founder, was so easy to work with and came to see us as we began our in Hanoi. She advised us on itinerary, offered ideas and was patient with all our questions as we were planning with her; which resulted in a wonderful vacation.
The guides we had (Duc, Minh, Vinh, Phong, Thanh, and Chan) were exceptional. They were so passionate and knowledgeable on their part of their country. Their enthusiasm powered us to do more than we could have expected – and they knew the best ways to do everything.
Ngoc and our guides did all the small and big things to make our trip smoother than we could possibly imagine. After we landed our toughest decisions were what time we wanted to start the next day.
More Fun Travel did things like always meeting us at airports or train stations, clearly explaining what we needed or wanted to know, having a hotel room for us to use for two hours after an overnight train ride, early check-ins when useful, a place to shower after a busy day before a flight and great drivers (really appreciated in the crazy traffic).
We learned so much about Vietnam from our guides and saw real homes and lives of the friendly Vietnamese people. Angkor Wat was phenomenal and our guide knew what order to do trip to avoid largest crowds and get best sunlight for pictures.
It was a great vacation and the thanks goes to the More Fun Travel crew.
Vietnam and Cambodia Holiday 21 days
November – December 2012
We had so much fun visiting Vietnam. Thank you for taking care of all the details for our travels. We were very pleased with our hotels & our tour guides.
All the hotels we stayed at were comfortable & located very conveniently. The private charted boat in Halong Bay exceeded our expectations. Your tour guides (Lee, Quoc, Min, Khanh, Z, Chan) were very helpful & knowledgeable. They went out of their way to accommodate our requests which were not on the itinerary. Quoc took us on a local food tour, to a tailor, took me on his motorcycle when I did not want to ride the bike. Khanh squeezed in a pho breakfast at the famous pho restaurant in Hanoi for us.
Chan stopped at night food stalls for us to taste local delicacies, like crickets & grasshoppers. We appreciated the guides taking us directly to the group check-in counters at the airports. This eliminated the confusion of where to go & having to wait in long lines.
Since everything had been planned in advance, we did not have to worry about anything. We will definitely use More Fun Travel the next time we visit Vietnam and tell our friends who are planning on going.
Thanks again for making it a hassle-free, memorable vacation for our family.
Vietnam and Cambodia holiday 15 days

Thank you so much for assisting us during our recent 15-day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia.
From beginning to end, we had an amazing experience! Your quick e-mail responses, great itinerary suggestions, and impeccable service are to be commended.
Each city had punctual, responsible, intelligent, and enthusiastic guides who were responsive to our needs. They went out of their way to assist us in finding local restaurants and hidden treasures.
When my husband forgot his camera on the bus he was devastated. Thank you for following up and bringing his camera to our next destination. I will definitely be sharing our pictures and experiences from this memorable trip.
Thank you for taking the stress out and making our trip incredible!
