What an amazing tour from Hue to Phong Nha Ke Bang. We got to choose the caves we visited and chose the Paradise and Dark caves. It was fantastic! It was a great combination of sightseeing in the Paradise Cave and adventure in the dark cave. Our tour guide was excellent, making us all feel safe while encouraging us to try some adventurous activities. It's a full-day excursion but a fantastic way to experience the caves in Phong Nha. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing trip Hue to Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. Sammy was fantastic and provided great information. Her English was excellent, and I appreciated her effort since I speak very little Vietnamese. Lunch was delicious, and the caves were even more beautiful than I had anticipated. The zip line into the dark cave was fun, but it's not an option if you are over 90kg. The smaller zip lines into the water park afterward were also a lot of fun and accessible to everyone.

The best time to visit Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is:✔March - August (Dry Season) ☀️ – The best time to visit, with warm temperatures (25-35°C), clear skies, and safe cave exploration conditions. This is ideal for kayaking, swimming in Dark Cave, and hiking.✔September - November (Rainy Season) 🌧️ – Heavy rains can cause flooding, and some caves may close temporarily. However, the scenery is lush and beautiful.✔December - February (Cool & Dry) ❄️ – Cooler temperatures (18-24°C) make trekking comfortable, but Dark Cave activities (like swimming and ziplining) might not be enjoyable due to cold water.For the best experience, visit between March and August when all caves and outdoor activities are open.

We recently enjoyed a fantastic three-week trip with a family of eleven, expertly organized by Mrs. Van Le. Our journey began with a seven-day tour in Hanoi, followed by six days in central Vietnam, and concluded with the remainder of our time in Saigon. Everything went smoothly thanks to her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The guides were excellent, and the bus drivers were also commendable. We highly recommend this experience with pleasure. 🙏

We have just returned from an exceptional 10-day, 9-night journey through Northern Vietnam and Cambodia, meticulously arranged by Autour Asia Travel for our group of six. The experience was outstanding in every regard! From the moment we shared our preferences - such as the duration of our trip, budget, accommodation ratings, and desired activities - they took care of every detail with remarkable efficiency. The personalized itinerary they crafted was flawless, reflecting their superb attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our satisfaction. A special mention goes to Van Le (Eliese), whose exceptional service and dedication significantly enhanced our travel experience. Her expertise and responsiveness made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Autour Asia Travel for any travel plans in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Their professionalism and exceptional service truly set them apart.

Our 23-day private tour with AutourAsia was fantastic! It was our third time booking with them, and they once again provided outstanding service. Ms. Van Le, our contact, was incredibly helpful and patient, even as we made several changes to our itinerary. She was available at all times and even assisted with our return flight issues.

We explored Vietnam and Laos extensively, and as picky travelers, we were thoroughly impressed. The company owner greeted us personally, adding a special touch to our trip, and our guides, Mr. Ping and Mr. Sang, were excellent.

If you're considering a trip to Indochina, I highly recommend AutourAsia. Great service and very reasonable prices!

Our recent tour to Vietnam and Cambodia was truly exceptional, featuring a mix of visits to both well-known attractions and hidden gems off the beaten path. The entire experience was made memorable by the warm hospitality, attentiveness, and high quality of services provided throughout our stay.

One highlight of our trip was the cooking class in Hoi An Ecotour, where we had the opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes like Nem spring rolls and flower salad. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational, and it gave us a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine.

We wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an enriching travel experience. A big thank you to Mr. Duy, Ms. Van Le, and the entire AutourAsia team for their exceptional service and for making our stay so enjoyable.
