Why should I choose Exotic Voyages over US or European based travel agency?

There are several reasons why you should choose Exotic Voyages over US/European based travel agency:

First, most US/European based travel agency only act as middle man and subcontract their clients to local agencies like us. They rely on local tour operator to run the operation at the destinations.
Dealing with Exotic Voyages means you work directly with local travel experts who have lived and traveled extensively throughout the region.
We have our own operation offices in all of our destinations which allow us to make sure everything run smoothly on the ground and react quickly should there be any issue.

Why shouldn't I book everything on my own?

As we get discounted rates from hotels and partners, the total cost you pay will be cheaper or just marginally more expensive than if you booked directly yourself. That said, with our expert advice, local knowledge, contact and superior customer service, we believe the value of booking with us is much higher.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

Best Travel Agency

We traveled for a week. Visited Hanoi, Ha Lang Bay with a night on a ship, Flew to Da Lang and spent couple of days in Hoi-an, then flew to Saigon and visited the city then a day in Mekong Delta. All this was organized by Exotic Voyages tour company and to be exact by Hoa TRAN / Travel ...

Vietnam

The wife and I have traveled all around the world and speaking with her we think this trip was one of the BEST. Our custom made trip planed by Hoa TRAN from EXOTIC VOYAGES was exceptional.

The Best Way to Tour Vietnam and Cambodia

I first learned of Exotic Voyages when I happened upon an article about a tour that is inspired by Anthony Bourdain's travels to Vietnam. Being a big fan of Bourdain along with a burning desire to travel to Vietnam, this was the perfect scenario for me to make the trip, so I contacted Exotic and Diep Nguyen to put together an itinerary to include Cambodia. Having just returned from the trip on March 5, I have to say the results exceeded my expectations. Being an experienced global traveler there are certain characteristics I'm looking for in an organized tour: Planning, Quality of Experience and the Guides/Drivers, and Responsiveness & Flexibility. Exotic Voyages made sure we saw a good representation of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people and lifestyles, and the Vietnam landscape from north to south. The itinerary had us fully immersed in the culture and social fabric, from the rich experiences on the farms, on the boats, in the marketplaces and the restaurants as they "connected the dots" for us on how food is farmed/caught, produced, sold, cooked and eventually delivered to the table. We loved the hands-on experience of a cooking class in Hue and we'll be practicing our new skills back home. Then of course the connections to Anthony Bourdain, meeting the Banh Mi Queen, eating at Lunch Lady and staying in his favorite hotels. The fairly complex logistics of the flights, hotels, guides and drivers were perfect. We especially appreciated seeing our guides/drivers awaiting us at the airports for each flight (there were six flights), handling the visas when necessary, guiding us at the airports for check-ins, handling the luggage, etc. They never missed a beat and constantly made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the tour. The guides were all very knowledgeable and proud people, but I would especially call out Xuan in Hanoi who was informative and fun to hang with. When traveling in a foreign country, and with many connection points, responsiveness and flexibility are also extremely important. Diep was always there for us both before and during the trip when we either had questions or wanted to make some spontaneous changes to the itinerary. Overall I give high praise to Diep and Exotic Voyages for putting together a fantastic journey through two fascinating countries. It was certainly the most immersive and emotional trip I've taken, partly because of the US war history but mostly for the connection to the Vietnamese and Cambodian people who are the sweetest, most considerate, welcoming and accommodating people one could meet.

18 Day Honeymoon Trip to Thailand

I initially planned on organizing & planning my honeymoon to Thailand on my own, which is doable, but I am SO happy I decided to go with Exotic Voyages. I was hesitant initially to work with an oversea's travel agency, I was unsure if I was going to be taken advantage of. After reading reviews of the company I decided to at the very least reach out and see what they had to offer. I got in contact with them in June of 2018, over 6 months prior to our honeymoon and was surprised to get such a detailed response from Phuong Anh. After several revisions of the proposed itinerary (revisions based on my time frame shifts and interest shifts) we settled on our final itinerary. My favorite thing about using EV is that I had complete freedom to book as much or as little through them as I wanted. Our itinerary ended up being heavy on tours while in Bangkok, Kanchanaburi & Chaing Mai and very light once we got to Phuket & Koh Yao Yai. Phuong Anh (PA for short :) ) was incredible the entire process, she was very quick to respond to all of my questions in great detail and took care of all of the booking of hotels, domestic flights, tour guides, drivers, etc. The only thing I booked myself was our international flights, but PA would have done that as well if I needed. From the minute we arrived in Thailand we had 1st class service, we had a personal attendant take us from our arrival gate to a no wait customs officer (that saved a ton of time as there was a HUGE line) our baggage was taken from the baggage carousel straight to our private driver and we made it right to our hotel :) My husband unfortunately got very sick on the flight over to Bangkok (not in relation to any of the travel, just bad luck) and was down and out with a 103 fever. Our tour guide happened to call just to say hi and introduce herself when we got in and was very accommodating when I asked to move our scheduled tour for the next day. We ended up combining the rescheduled tour with another tour so that we didn't miss out on anything which was great! Every guide we had was so friendly and super knowledgeable. I will 100% use them again in the future if we end up traveling to another area that they work.

Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam/Myanmar - three week trip of a lifetime.

We had never heard of Exotic Voyages, and were hesitant using an online service over a Kuoni type of tour operator. However, after so many five star reviews on T/A we submitted an enquiry with just the briefest of briefs. Three weeks travelling around Asia to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. ...
