We had such an amazing Honeymoon trip to Thailand all thanks to Thuy over at Exotic Voyages. I am so glad I was able to book our trip through them to be able to see and explore all the top things we wanted to do and experience in Thailand for our Honeymoon. Thuy helped us search for the most beautiful and romantic hotels and resorts to stay in along with the tours of the things we wanted to see and experience. We flew out from LAX to Bangkok and spent a couple of nights there and had our own personal guide greet us on arrival to the airport and transportation provided directly to our hotel. This process was extremely helpful, quick and fast and all thanks to exotic voyages they provide this service especially for those visiting for the first time tons foreign country. We had our own personal tour guide and transportation for all tours and flights as we flew out to Chiang Mai and Phuket. Thuy helped organize all the flights with tours, tour guides and transportation which makes your experience safe, fast, and such an amazing experience. Your travel agent will provide you a complete itinerary with pickup times and all the information you need for your trip to help guide you. She is also one quick phone call or email away with any issue or problem or question you may have. I would highly recommend exotic voyages when booking your travel and I would highly recommend Thuy she has so much patience and works with you every step of the way to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Our honeymoon would have not been the same without her. I can’t wait to book our next vacations with her such an amazing honeymoon. We experience the islands, beautiful resorts, and such friendly tour guides. Thank you Exotic Voyages for making our honeymoon such a great experience and thank you so much to Thuy for helping us every step of the way and being so patience with us and extremely informative and knowledgeable of the “must sees and dos” for this trip!

I will summarize why I chose Executive Voyages for my family tour of Vietnam. 1. They offer custom itineraries based on your travel interests and style. 2. They have excellent choices in hotels. 3. Competent and understandable guides. 4. Good value in their fees. My wife and 24 year old son accompanied me on this excellent voyage of 12 days. We enjoyed every aspect of our tour. We were not forced into any stores or factories to buy junk. We felt safe at all times. The guides make the difference. Very competent and affable. Super friendly. The only negative in our trip was a food outing that was mediocre. I would rate the overall trip a 95. Go explore Vietnam before it turns into a Thailand.

Thanks to Exotic Voyages, my mother and I had an excellent first time experience in Thailand. Thuy took care of everything for us so there was no need to think about anything and we could just relax. My mother and I stayed in Bangkok, then traveled to Kanchanaburi and finished off our trip in Koh Samui. Without our very helpful guides Peak and Yiwah and without Exotic Voyages, the trip would of been a mess. Peak was our day guide. He was so helpful and very patient. We were with him everyday up until our flight to Koh Samui. Yiwah was with Bangkok Food Tours. She was comics and informative. I recommend doing the midnight food tour via Tuk Tuk if you are a foodie like my mother and I. Once we landed in Koh Samui, the only thing my mother and I had on our minds were beach/pool, water activities and taken in the beautiful views and we did exactly that for the last three days of our trip. My mother and I had a great time and that would not have been possible if it was not for Exotic Voyages. Book with them if you are ever in Asia.

This was the first time we visited Vietnam after departing 38 year ago. Our grownup kids have never been to Vietnam so this is a trip everyone is looking forward to. It was an excellent trip and we got to visit places that we have never been to when we still live in Vietnam. The tour itinerary (with our inputs) put together by Exotic Voyages worked out really well. We visited 10 different cities (never stay longer than 3 days at any place) and this turned out great for us. There was day we got exhausted with activities but it was well worth it. Most of the hotels we stayed were excellent. As this is a private tour, activities can be adjusted based on our need. The transportation was great since we have our private vehicle. The price was reasonable for the entire trip. If you are a first time travel to Vietnam, we highly recommend Exotic Voyages.

My husband and I reached out to Exotic Voyages to book a trip to Thailand. We were lucky enough to get connected to Mai Phuong. She was an absolutely wonderful coordinator. Everything we asked was responded to quickly, with great detail and wonderful advice. We have not gone yet.. but I just thought our booking experience was perfect. I'm in the hotel business so my expectations are high. Mai Phuong was an excellent travel planner and I highly recommend her

We have nothing but praise for Exotic Voyages and their good service. All our guides were wonderful and we had an amazing ten days feeling well looked after and learning so much. Their promptness in organising our tour with short notice was much appreciated as was their kind patience and assistance as we struggled to pay them due to difficulties with our banks security and communication processes

We had the most amazing time in Vietnam and that is all due to the planning and thoughtfulness put into coordinating our adventure, by Diep and Exotic Voyages! From the first inquiry via email, to all of the suggestions and options provided, to the guides we had join us in each city, to the luxury accommodations, to the absolute BEAUTY of this country - our trip was truly the trip of a lifetime! We got to experience the country from North to South, the best food, the best people, seriously the best time. Thank you so much and we can't wait to have Diep plan our next adventure through this area of the world.

My now husband and I used Exotic Voyages to plan our honeymoon adventure in Thailand. From start to finish, Linh Nguyen went above and beyond to help us plan our perfect trip. We had an amazing 2 weeks traveling all throughout Thailand. Every domestic flight, airport transfer, hotel and activity planned was seamless, organized and so much fun. All of our private tour guides were incredible and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. I would highly recommend this luxury travel company to anyone and look forward to having them plan out next adventure in Asia!

Having returned last week to the US, my husband and I are still filled with the after-glow of our wonderful, customized visit to Vietnam and Cambodia, arranged by Hanoi-based Tran Thuy of Exotic Voyages. We enjoyed the entire trip and the professional level of services we experienced throughout. Our entire 2-week trip, involving 6 cities and many day excursions, was well-designed and implemented, based on the preferences we expressed prior to the trip. Our guides were knowledgeable, fluent in English (with one minor exception), all with an impressive command of the various sties, their history, culture and landmarks. Our trip created wonderful memories of a lifetime, supplemented by amazing photos and videos. Based on our experience with Exotic Voyages, we are actively recommending this agency to our globe-trotting friends.

My husband and I traveled with Exotic Voyages in Thailand for 2 weeks and will highly recommend all of their excursions to anyone who will listen. The customer service, personal cars, highly knowledgeable tour guides, made the experience one I will never forget. The culture, food, and history was remarkable- my first trip to Thailand and I truly enjoyed the food and learning about the history.

This is probably the best trip I have ever taken. We went to Hanoi and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam and Inle Lake, Bagan and Yangon in Myanmar. The sights were fascinating and the history was incredible, especially seeing so many pagodas in Bagan, Myanmar and hearing the stories about a number of them by the guide. In addition, we had the opportunity to visit local markets and villages in Myanmar where we could see how the local people lived and the produce/products sold. The restaurants they took us to had food that was incredible and far different than in the US. In both countries, the tour guides were knowledgeable and could answer most if not all questions. Exotic Voyages also handled all logistics at each airport and all transportation which made the trip go very smoothly. I would recommend Exotic Voyages for anyone visiting Southeast Asia.

For a very long time, we'd talked about a trip to Vietnam. We are senior travelers and have had the good fortune of traveling extensively throughout the world but never to Vietnam. From the moment I made my first contact with a special lady named Ha Vy from Exotic Voyages, I knew she would help us plan the most amazing trip ever. We don't like traveling in groups, we like to travel alone with our own driver and guide so we have complete control on our adventures and to her, it wasn't even a challenge. After asking a few questions, she took to work to research and advise. As she went thru the process, she sent us different ideas, made different suggestions plus stretched our imaginations and expectations to really "push the wall" with our travels. Nothing was too challenging for her. Every single detail was covered, even things we didn't expect or anticipate, she was always one step ahead, even while we were in travel. I fell at the beginning of the trip and without any effort from us, she accommodated my injury and never said a word, just made things happen to fit my needs. Everything was perfect. People meeting us at airports, helping us with money and SIM cards, taking us to a hospital, rearranging schedules but most importantly, she created one of the most fabulous trips ever. Way beyond our expectations. Our travels took us from Hanoi, to Mai Chai, to Ninh Binh, to Ha Long Bay, to Hue, to Hoi, to Na Trang and then back to Hanoi. Small villages, cooking classes and meals with locals, lots of different types of boat rides, markets, scooters, rickshaws, amazing people, rainbows of colors plus boutique accommodations everywhere we went. We were celebrating our 45 Anniversary so in Tam Coc she surprised us with the honeymoon bungalow. Private, private, private...we could change our minds at any time, make unscheduled stops, spend more time than scheduled in many places, always having the freedom to find out "what's around the next bend." She stayed in communication the entire trip but she even went out of her way to meet us in Hanoi with a special gift in hand. Nothing was too much for her and Exotic Voyages. We took over 2,400 photos, brought home so many fantastic memories of the people and experiences we had and left a little piece of our soul in this mystical country called Vietnam. A very special THANK YOU to Ha Vy and Exotic Voyages!!!!

Working with Exotic Voyages to plan my honeymoon in Thailand was a fantastic decision. Right from the very first email, I knew I was in good hands. They asked about my interest and preferences then designed an itinerary based on that. We had the opportunity to go back and forth until the details were perfect. Very responsive and patient until the last adjustment. I highly appreciate that. They also took care of all of our travel once we were in Thailand (transfers to and from the airports, domestic flights, tour pickups, etc) which allowed us to really enjoy every day without worries! Highly recommend Exotic Voyages to anyone coming to Southeast Asia.

I just returned from 14 days in Vietnam with my daughter, for an Anthony Bourdain tribute tour. Thanks to Exotic Voyages we had an amazing memorable time and all our expectations were met. Everything was great from our airport arrival, accommodations, private guides/drivers, activities and flights within the country. They literally took care of everything. Even the scheduled free time was just the right amount. I can’t say enough good things about our guides (Vinh in Saigon, Vue in Hue and Trung in Hanoi). They are extremely knowledgeable about their county and it’s history, not to mention fun and caring. Our travel agent, Vy, even met us for coffee and Durian in Hanoi. It was a pleasure to meet her in person after all of the detailed planning she did for us. She completely customized our itinerary. If you want a worry-free, easy vacation, while exploring Vietnam or Southeast Asia, this is the way to go! Hands down I would go back to Vietnam and I would definitely use Exotic Voyages.

I wanted to visit Vietnam for decades, and I finally made it happen with the help of Exotic Voyages. I am so pleased that we decided to book everything through EV, as they not only met our expectations but handily exceeded them. Every step of our trip was flawlessly planned and executed. Getting our visa on arrival and through customs was literally effortless. Once we were in Vietnam, our private drivers and private guides handled everything and ensured we never worried about a single logistical detail while we were there. They were over-the-top knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I chose to go to Vietnam more for cultural education than relaxation, and our wonderful, professional guides made that a fantastic reality. I'd like to give a shout out to Vinh (Saigon guide), Vu (Hue guide), and Trung (Hanoi guide); you guys rock, and you made our trip so special!! Beyond that, our hotel accommodations were spectacular. All the tours, cooking classes, and Ha Long bay cruise were perfect. Shout out to Coco, Milk Man, T Small, and JD of the Dragon Legend 2 cruise! We had such an outstanding time that I'm missing Vietnam badly since I've come back, and I can't wait to book another Vietnam trip with EV in the future!

We hired Exotic Voyages to organize our trip to Myanmar. Neither my wife nor I had been there, although we have a number of friends who have been. We wanted to stay off the beaten path. Also, I do medium format, fine art photography so we asked for some special routing. Thuy did a spectacular job of responding to our needs and developed a travel plan that was unique. It was just the two of us and three different guides to help us across many places in Myanmar. We went to Yangon, Kalaw, Heho, Inle Lake, Mandalay, and Bagan. Lots to see. Our guides were fantastic. We had a great time. We had not used Exotic before, but would definitely use them again! Nicely done.

I had such an amazing honeymoon trip to Thailand with Exotic Voyages. At first, I was skeptical about using service from a foreign company. But it turned out more than great. Our travel designer was so caring and informative throughout the journey. She recommended us to go to some off-the-beaten-path destinations and it was fantastic. We were able to explore breathtaking landscapes in a private and tranquil setting. The kayaking and elephant camping experiences in Phuket were unreal. Thank you so much for all the attention and care you gave us.

Using Exotic Voyages’s services in my Asian trip was the BEST decision! I appreciate all the planning we did together. Especially, I want to express my gratitude to Ms. Thuy Linh - our travel designer. She was so patient and responsive to tons of my requests, willing to change the plan according to our preference and gave really great recommendations. My trip wouldn’t have been perfect without her help. Each and every one of the destinations we visited was so different from one another but still looked stunning in their own ways. I’ll definitely book my trip with Exotic Voyages again when coming back to Asia. Nothing to complain about!

My husband and I booked our 2-week trip using Exotic Voyages and were quite pleased with the experience. I would give a 5-star, but there are some minor things we would do differently and would suggest that others consider when booking such a trip. The communication between us and Nhung was always quick and informative, but there were questions we didn't think to ask. Please know that these suggestions are only what we would have done to tailor our trip more to our style, but we were very happy with the service we got from Exotic Voyages. 1) How many hours will we spend on each excursion, and by that I mean each stop per day? There were a few stops we would have excluded (Presidential Palace in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh Square, enamel art workshop). We sometimes asked our guide how many hours a trip would be, and they would leave out driving time round-trip. We had a few rides that were over an hour each way, some more than 3, either due to traffic of distance. 2) If you have trouble with strong accents, be sure to request a guide with exceptional English skills. Keep in mind that our languages are very different, and even if their English is good, the accent can be very difficult to understand. 3) We did the bike ride in Siem Reap to Angkor Wat. Fortunately we're in good shape, but the road is very rough and the temperature hot and humid. Couple that with about 8 miles of riding, and we would have enjoyed a tuk tuk more and been able to see the surroundings instead of watching for potholes. 4) If you want a special view of Ha Long Bay, request the seaplane ride between Hanoi and the port, at least in one direction. It was a beautiful way to see the entire bay, and it was nice to avoid the 3.5 hour non-scenic ride back to Hanoi. Nhung did a great job of booking this for us at the last minute....while we were on the boat in Ha Long we talked to her via WhatsApp and she made it happen for us. 5) Getting to the airports much earlier than 90-minutes prior to your flight isn't necessary. Your guides will help you at the ticket counter, security was pretty quick, and the gates don't even open until then. By our 3rd flight, we changed all our hotel departures to a later time. A big thumbs-up for the guides and their help with the airports and visa process. One of our guides managed to get us on an earlier flight (because we were at the airport sooo early) without us being charged for the change. As for the overall trip, we really loved it and wished we had more time to just observe this unique place. We had so little time and saw so many places that we wish we'd shortened some of our guided excursions and spent more time just watching their world. The people were some of the warmest we've ever experienced, the food delicious (try the chef-guided street food excursion in Phnom Penh!), and more history than you can possibly consume in only 2 weeks. Thanks to Nhung and the EV family for all your efforts!

From the moment we communicated with Exotic Voyages staff through the entire trip in Thailand, we had personal attention to key details that made our trip really amazing. I traveled with my sister to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. Each hotel exceeded our expectations. The guided and join-in tours were fabulous and perfect for what we wanted to see. We are vegetarians and do not eat meat or fish which can be tough in Southeast Asia, however Exotic Voyages ensured we were able to have plenty of food options wherever we went and on every tour. I would definitely recommend their services, you won't regret it!
