Jamal • a week ago

I have booked a Vietnam trip with Easygo Travel for three people. It was a five (Read More)nights six days trip. Easygo travels took care of everything from flight booking, stay in Vietnam and all local transfers in Vietnam on a private basis. Everything went so smooth and in a clock-work precision and we had to worry about nothing during the trip. Their partner travel agent in Vietnam has done a great job. They sent cabs well within time whenever there was a transfer, booked all tickets in advance and arranged food during sightseeings in good local restaurants. The overall experience was very good and I recommend Easygo Travel for anybody visiting Vietnam from India.
I cant find any department whtich could have been better. Everything was worth t (Read More)he money we have spent.
