“…..we read reviews on TripAdvisor and decided to visit Camellia Tours Vietnam website. Extremely easy and very reliable for us for ovesea payment, we had the time to truly enjoy our holiday in 3 countries without needing to book day tours, arrange travel or find accommodation. The hotels and accommodation were all above and beyond what we expected. Our drivers and tour guides were all friendly and spoke English well – with a great knowedge of the sites and history. The highlights of our holidays were definitely the 2 days on Halong Bay, HoiAn and Siem Reap. we 100% recommend Mr. Pham and Camellia Tours Vietnam to help organize your dream holiday in South East Asia. Thank you again and look forward to our next trip……”
