I have nothing but great things to say about our trip to Vietnam, Threeland Travel looked after us from North to South, we lived great experiences, had great food, tour guides and drivers were professional and spoke very good english. The agency operations team followed up our trip from the office, proving us with information during the trip and every time we needed something from them we had an instant solution. I highly recommend the Gray Line cruise in Halong Bay, it is simply spectacular! Thanks so much tho the Threeland Travel team, you helped us have one of our most memorable holidays yet!

I've been with Threeland on a trip to the Vietnam's heritage. I spent one day in Danang exploring Sontra Island and visiting Ling Ung Pagoda. The guide - Mr. Hai was knowledgeable when showing us all captivating features of this pagoda. I was very impressed with this site, really marvelous one, and quite different from Singapore's (at first I thought pagodas in Vietnam would be somehow the same). The atmosphere there also brought me tranquility. The next day we did have a great journey to Hoian and Myson sanctuary. Hoian is even more than my expectation but Myson is a little crowded. I love those two days in Hoian when I could explore the streets at my leisure. Hai Coffee Shop in Hoian is really nice. A bit pity that I couldn't visit Cua Dai beach. Last day we transfered to Hue, enjoyed Lang Co beach and many historical sites here. Hue is quiet and peaceful. Overall the services were arranged good except for the hotel in Danang which doesnt have private balcony and sea view like I was first offered. But they did give us an apology and upgraded us to a bigger room. Nicely done anw!

We were picked up at the airport by friendly and informed drivers and taken directly to the hotel. Every tour we booked we had a private tour guide, all of whom were nice, knowledgeable, and took care of the whole day. They provided us with an itinerary that was incredible, and they were amazingly accommodating about changing plans, even if they were last minute. We wanted to change our flight 2 days before and they took care of it. For everything they provided the price was incredibly cheap. Jacqueline planned our trip and she was amazing! Highly recommend and I will definitely use again.

First time I availed the services of Threeland Travels was in 2013 for a family holiday trip to Cambodia. Since we had great satisfcation with our Cambodia visit, I decided to contact Threeland Travels for the second time to plan our itenerary for Vietnam visit. When I contacted Ms. Linda, the executive who worked on my Cambodia itenerary, she promptly responded and connected me to their executive Mr. Joe. I was later told by Mr. joe that Linda was promoted as their Sales Director. My itenerary was meticulously planned. It included the hotels stays, meals, sight seeings and transfers. I must mention, I never imagined that our holiday in Vietnam would be so enjoyable. A lovely country with hardworking and honest people. No doubt the country has developed so much and become one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia. I must thank Mr. Joe and his team members for making our holiday a memorable one and indeed value for the money spent. All the hotels were excellent, all the restaurants and food was great, all the guides and drivers were very helpful, all the sight seeing and shoppings were a delight. Last I must thank Ms. Linda, who I presume must be a good and capable leader for building up such a fantastic team. I have now decided to use their services even for Myanmar visit and would also strongly recomend others to use their services.
