“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!”

“It was a pleasant experience to book my trip to Cambodia with Exotic Voyages. They paid close attention to all our needs and responded to each and every of our requests quickly. Communication was seamless during the whole trip. Ms Nhung made us a temple-hopping itinerary. It was good, but it would have been better to arrange more temples in the schedule as Angkor Wat was absolutely majestic and we were so eager to visit more. However, everything else was above my expectation. If I have a chance to come back to Asia, Exotic Voyages will be my first choice.”

“I went on an island-hopping tour to Thailand last summer with Exotic Voyages. My requests were to find some off-the-beaten-path beaches that are far away from tourist crowds and they fulfilled my requests perfectly. They chose untouched beaches and highly private resorts for me. Absolutely satisfied and appreciate their efforts. Although there were some problems with my visa while transferring from Bangkok to Phuket, Exotic Voyages was reachable. They sent staffs to the airport and solved it immediately. I got on the plane on time all thanks to them. Once I landed in Phuket, I followed their suggested itinerary and it was beyond expectation. All I can remember now about my trip are pristine white beaches, amazing snorkeling experiences, and beautiful infinity pools in the resorts. Overall, a wonderful vacation!”

“My family went on a 2-week trip to Thailand with Exotic Voyages. At first, I was unsure about which destinations to go as my kids are pretty small, 9 and 6 years old. But Ms Mai Phuong, our travel expert, suggested taking an elephant tour. And it was a brilliant idea. My children were absolutely enjoying playing with Thai elephants. Highly recommend this tour for family travel. My family had a hustle-free vacation thanks to Mai Phuong and her team. We are so glad that we booked with Exotic Voyages. Thank you so much!”

“2. My husband and I had a wonderful honeymoon in Thailand last summer with Exotic Voyages. Everything was perfect. The staff was so caring and thoughtful that she made us a 2-week itinerary that catered exactly to our needs. We were able to enjoy every moment of our honeymoon in the utmost privacy and comfort. All the destinations she suggested were beautiful and not so crowded. Although we did encounter some problems while checking in the hotel in Bangkok, Exotic Voyages was quick to respond and solve it for us. Overall, I highly recommend Exotic Voyages for any honeymooners out there. If I have a chance to come back to Asia, I’ll definitely use their service again.”

“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!”

“I had a wonderful culinary experience in Vietnam with Exotic Voyages last September. The tour was tailor made for me. I was contacted by Ms Diep, a supportive and professional tour designer. She tried to cater for all my requests and made a perfect itinerary. During 14 days, I was able to travel to 7 provinces, experienced the tasty local cuisine of each place as long as visited some other exotic tourist attractions. A truly hustle-free vacation. Highly appreciate Ms Diep and her team’s effort. Good value for money.”

“My time in Bali was well spent thanks to Exotic Voyages. I was taken to signature historical and cultural places during 2 weeks there. The guides deeply understand about the sites, so I learned a lot about the rich Balinese culture. All the hotels I stayed were beyond expectations, especially the Como Ubud Estate. I would love to travel with Exotic Voyages to Southeast Asia again.”

“They've done very well in preparation for my trip to Vietnam in April. All my concerns were accommodate by e-mails, very quickly and effectively. They also gave me a lot of useful information about the trip before flight time. They even kept contacting me during the trip to check if I enjoyed it or not. However, I found this thing a bit annoying cuz I just wanna enjoy myself. Other things like hotels, transports or guides were excellent. Nothing to complain”

“We are a middle aged couple traveling to celebrating wedding anniversary. Ms Phuong helped us build up the itinerary in Thailand. We traveled to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Koh Yao Yai. All were incredible. We felt like newly-wed couples, enjoying honeymoon week in this luxury trip. Hotels and transports were nice and comfortable while guides were friendly and helpful. We had so much fun in our anniversary thanks to Exotic Voyages”

“Exotic Voyages is a great tour operator in many aspects. The trip designer put together a wonderful itinerary for my trip to Cambodia in May. She was helpful, quick in responding to any of my questions. Airport pickup was on time with private transport. Selection of hotels was well-matched with what I was looking for. I would book another tour with Exotic Voyages in the near future.”

“I got quite a nice trip with Exotic Voyages to Laos. Everything was great except for the airport pickup. I had to wait half an hour and finally took a taxi to my hotel. I was refunded afterwards so I think it was not a great trouble but EV still needs to improve their service.”

“Our honeymoon trip to Thailand with Exotic Voyăges was far beyond what we expected. The trip was tailor made for us after exchanging e-mails with the tour designer. I highly recommend Ms Mai Phuong. She is experienced and professional, flexible also. Thanks to her, we got memorable experience in Thailand with a great choice of destinations, activities and resorts. Had dinner at Phang Nga Bay at sunset, cruised in Khao Sok National Park or stayed in the most romantic resort The Sarojin, to name some.”

“No regret when spending that much money with Exotic Voyages. We had a trip to Vietnam at the expense of about $2000, which seems to be a little bit too much but we experienced top-class service from personalized itinerary to airport pickup, private guide and transport, luxury resorts. Worth every penny!”
