“…being a first timer to Laos was a wonderful and meaningful experience because of Viet Prestige travel. our sales consultant did an excellent job and were extremely helpful. all the arrangements generally went well and the tour guides were always on time, very professional, and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for
more. All our meals were nice, we didn’t have to waste time to look for good food. The hotels were comfortable and the facilities as good as we’d hoped for. We would highly recommend this company to everyone….!”
