Many thanks for helping to make our first visit to Vietnam very memorable>> Read more
We enjoyed the tour very much and thank you for the organization, which went smoothly and exceptionally well.>> Read more
I have just come back from a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. While I was in Vietnam I went a 3 day/ 2 night trip to Cat Tien organised by Exotissimo.
Our guide was Mr Hai. I must say that I was very impressed with Mr Hai and the trip in general. The local guide in Cat Tien was also excellent and we had a great trip.
My wife and I will probably be back in Vietnam in 2 years and we will be happy to use Exotissimo again and we will tell our friends that are thinking about going to Vietnam/ Thailand about your company.
Many thanks for helping to make our first visit to Vietnam very memorable.

Dear Trung,
We enjoyed the tour very much and thank you for the organization, which went smoothly and exceptionally well. We met some very interesting people in the group, one of whom highly recommended Exotissimo as a Tour Operator and we totally agree. So I decided to login on the Exotissimo website and we will do some other tours with your agency. At the moment we are thinking about Laos or Myanmar.
Well, Vietnam has positively surprised us and we recommended a visit to our friends we have had contact with since our return. Vietnam is a very nice country with a lot to show at all kinds of things: Beaches, culture, history and so on. Special thanks and warm regards to you and please also pass our thanks to all the people who helped organize this trip and the guides.
The decision to stay at Phu Quoc Saigon Resort was exactly the right one. It was a resort, where we could summarize the memories of the trip and really relax. Again thanks and we wish you all the best.

Dear Ms. Vi:
Just a quick word to tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed our visit to Viet Nam.
You put together a wonderful trip for us and we are very grateful for your good work and excellent advice.
Our three guides were first class and our drivers were top-notch. I am still amazed at how they were able to navigate through all the traffic, especially all the motor bikes.
We thoroughly enjoyed each place we visited and Ha Long Bay was quite special.
Everything was on schedule like Swiss timing. We hope to return one of these days.
