Review · HANOI LUXURY TOURS
My Way Travel – Luxury Tailormade tour to Indochina
Three countries, one carefully linked trip. My Way Travel’s 12-day luxury tour connects Hanoi, Halong Bay, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap, and Ho Chi Minh City with private transfers, English-speaking guides, and high-end hotels. I especially like the range of scenery and culture, from Hanoi’s old streets and Halong Bay’s karst islands to Angkor Wat at sunrise.
I also like the private, customizable format. The company can adjust the plan to suit your interests, comfort level, and mobility needs. The main caution is cost clarity: the advertised price of $2,228.21 per person does not include accommodation, flights, entrance fees, visas, or several other major expenses.
- Three countries in 12 days: Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are linked in one compact trip.
- High-end hotel choices: Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, La Résidence Phou Vao, Raffles Angkor Hotel, and The Reverie Saigon are named lodging options.
- Private transport and guiding: Your group receives an air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking guide.
- Strong city-to-city variety: Historic Hanoi, Halong Bay, quiet Luang Prabang, temple-filled Siem Reap, and modern Saigon each offer a different mood.
- Useful personal support: Stephen Vu and the My Way Travel team are praised for fast replies, airport transfers, visa assistance, and custom planning.
- Important price detail: Flights, hotels, entrance fees, visas, insurance, tips, and personal expenses are extra or on request.
What This Luxury Indochina Trip Really Offers

This is less a fixed sightseeing package and more a private travel service built around a suggested route. You receive the framework of a 12-day journey, then work with My Way Travel to confirm hotels, flights, guides, meals, and the precise touring plan.
That flexibility is valuable in Southeast Asia. You may want more time in Hanoi, fewer temple visits in Cambodia, or extra help with airport transfers. A private format also makes it easier to adjust the pace for older family members or anyone who dislikes large groups.
The published price needs careful reading. At $2,228.21 per person, the figure may initially look attractive for a luxury trip across three countries. But accommodation is listed as on request, while flights, entrance fees, visas, insurance, and tips are excluded. Ask for a full written quotation before paying, including every hotel night, domestic and international flight, cruise charge, admission ticket, and transfer.
That is not a small point. The named hotels are upper-end properties, and adding them could change the final total considerably. Treat the headline figure as a starting price for the planned services, not as the final cost of a fully inclusive luxury holiday.
Day 1: Hanoi Arrival and the Sofitel Metropole

Your journey begins at Noi Bai International Airport, followed by a transfer into Hanoi. Pickup is offered, and private arrival assistance is one of the practical strengths of this arrangement. After a long flight, having a driver waiting is worth more than it sounds.
The suggested base is Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, one of the city’s best-known luxury hotels. Its central position gives you a refined place to recover while keeping Hanoi’s historic center close at hand.
Arrival day is intentionally light. Depending on your flight time, you may have a little energy for a first walk, but the schedule does not promise a formal evening program. Confirm the exact pickup process and whether early check-in is possible, since early check-in is specifically excluded.

Day 2: Hanoi’s Cultural Heart

Your first full day focuses on Hanoi. Breakfast and lunch are included, along with a private guide and vehicle. The description leaves the exact sightseeing list open, which is appropriate for a custom tour but means you should ask what is planned before departure.
Hanoi rewards a flexible approach. Its appeal comes from the mix of old commercial streets, French-era buildings, local food, lakeside walks, and busy motorbike traffic. A private guide can help turn an apparently chaotic day into a readable one, explaining where to walk and where a short vehicle transfer makes more sense.
One useful sign from the company’s other work is the care shown to people with limited mobility. A guide named Ninh helped one couple reduce walking and stairs during a Ho Chi Minh City tour and selected a small café for lunch. That suggests you should share mobility concerns early, rather than trying to manage them once the trip begins.
Day 3: Halong Bay and an Overnight Cruise

On day three, you move from Hanoi to Halong Bay and board the Orchid Cruise. This is the visual centerpiece of northern Vietnam, with limestone karsts rising from the sea and a slower rhythm than the capital.
Lunch and dinner are included aboard the cruise. The following morning includes sunrise tai chi, so this is an overnight sailing rather than a quick daytime visit. That gives you a better chance to enjoy the bay at quiet times, though weather can affect visibility and the appearance of the water.
Cruise details matter here. Ask which Orchid vessel is being used, what cabin category is included, how transfers from Hanoi are handled, and whether admission or port fees are part of the final price. Those charges may sit outside the basic quotation because entrance fees are excluded.
The overnight cruise is a strong choice for people who want scenery without constant packing and unpacking. If you prefer independent time in towns, it may feel more structured than the rest of the trip.
Day 4: Morning Tai Chi, Then Luang Prabang

The day starts with sunrise tai chi on the cruise before breakfast and lunch. You then continue to Luang Prabang in Laos, with La Résidence Phou Vao, a Belmond Hotel, listed as the suggested base.
This is a major change of setting. Halong Bay is about open water and dramatic rock formations. Luang Prabang is quieter, with a more measured pace and a strong sense of place. Moving between the two in one day can be tiring, especially if the connecting flight requires a long airport wait.
The schedule lists breakfast and lunch but does not spell out the flight details. Confirm the airline, baggage allowance, airport transfers, and whether the airfare is included. Flights by Bamboo Airways or Vietnam Airlines are specifically excluded, so you should expect to purchase those separately or add them to the custom quotation.

Days 5 and 6: Luang Prabang’s Old Ways

Day five is titled Insights Into the Old Ways and includes breakfast. The exact activities are left to your preferences, which gives you room to shape the day around temples, local traditions, food, or time at the hotel.
Luang Prabang works best when you do not rush it. The town is a natural pause between the busier Vietnamese and Cambodian sections. A private guide can help you choose a sensible mix of cultural visits and free time, rather than filling every hour with stops.
On day six, you fly to Siem Reap in Cambodia. Breakfast and lunch are included, and the suggested hotel is Raffles Angkor Hotel, written in the supplied details as Raffle Angkor Hotel. Again, the important practical question is the flight. The airfare is not included in the listed price, and border crossings require careful attention to passport and visa requirements.
The company has received praise for visa assistance, including help with Vietnam visa documents and invitation letters. That support can be useful, but you remain responsible for confirming the current entry rules for all three countries before booking.
Days 7 and 8: Siem Reap, Temples, and Sunrise

Siem Reap receives three nights, which is sensible. Angkor is too large for a rushed single-day visit, and the surrounding area offers more than one famous temple.
Day seven focuses on lesser-seen temples and other archaeological sites. The wording suggests a flexible touring day, so ask which temples are included, how much walking is expected, and whether the admission pass is covered. Entrance fees are listed as extra, and Angkor ticket costs can affect the budget.
Day eight begins with sunrise over Angkor Wat. This is an early start, but the reward is the chance to see Cambodia’s most famous monument before the day becomes hot and crowded. Afterward, breakfast and lunch are included, followed by more temple touring or a return to the hotel, depending on the final plan.
The strongest practical reason to use a private guide here is pacing. You can spend longer at a site that interests you, shorten a stop that does not, and request breaks when the heat builds. The drawback is that temple touring still involves uneven ground, steps, and substantial time outdoors. Ask for a plan suited to your walking ability.
Days 9 to 12: Saigon With Room to Choose

Day nine takes you to Ho Chi Minh City, also called Saigon, with The Reverie Saigon listed as the hotel. Breakfast and lunch are included. This is another transfer day, so do not expect a full schedule of sightseeing unless your flight arrives early.
The Reverie places you in a polished luxury setting for the final part of the trip. The city itself offers a different type of experience from Hanoi: larger, faster, and shaped by commercial energy, recent history, food, and French colonial architecture.
Day ten is devoted to Saigon. The plan does not list each stop, allowing you to request the places that matter most to you. Day eleven is a design-your-own day, which is one of the better features of the whole program. You can ask for more city touring, a slower day, shopping, a food-focused outing, or a private excursion beyond the city if the operator confirms it.
The company’s past work includes customized trips to places such as the Mekong Delta, Phan Thiet, Da Lat, Nha Trang, and Hoi An. Those locations are not part of this 12-day route, but they show the type of changes you can discuss with the planner. Do not assume they are included. Request them separately.
A past private Saigon tour with guide Ninh was praised for clear explanations, punctual service, and a small café lunch. The guide also adjusted the route to reduce stairs and walking. That kind of personal adjustment is where a private tour earns its keep.
Day twelve is simple: breakfast, then an airport transfer for your departing flight. Confirm the pickup time carefully, especially if you have an early departure. Late checkout is not included.
Guides, Vehicles, and Personal Attention

The tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle, private transfers, private touring, and an English-speaking guide. You are not placed in a large group, and only your party participates in the private activity.
That arrangement gives you control over the day. You can ask questions without competing for the guide’s attention, stop for photographs, and make small changes as you go. Families and mixed-age groups usually gain the most from this format.
The strongest praise directed at My Way Travel concerns communication and organization. Stephen Vu is repeatedly described as responsive and helpful when building custom trips. Other customers have also praised punctual guides, friendly drivers, smooth transfers, and easy contact through WhatsApp or Messenger.
Still, ask who your actual guide will be in each country. A single guide is unlikely to accompany you across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Confirm names, languages, guide coverage, vehicle size, and emergency contact details before departure.
Meals, Hotels, and What Is Not Included
Meals are listed by day rather than as a full meal plan. Breakfast is included on most mornings, while lunch is included on several touring days. Dinner is specifically included on the Halong Bay cruise, but not generally elsewhere.
Personal drinks, laundry, telephone charges, and other purchases are extra. Tips for guides and drivers are also excluded, and the information repeats this point. Carry a separate allowance for those costs.
The suggested hotels are a major part of the luxury character:
- Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi
- La Résidence Phou Vao, A Belmond Hotel, Luang Prabang
- Raffles Angkor Hotel, Siem Reap
- The Reverie Saigon
Because all accommodation is listed as on request, these names should be treated as proposed options until confirmed in writing. Ask what happens if one is unavailable and whether a replacement will be equal in location and standard.
Who Should Book This Trip?
I would look closely at this tour if you want three countries without managing every flight, transfer, guide, and hotel yourself. It suits couples, families, first-time visitors to Indochina, and anyone who values private transport and a polished hotel base.
It is also a good match if you need a flexible pace. The company has shown willingness to adjust walking demands, arrange airport help, and shape longer trips around personal interests.
I would be more cautious if you want a low-cost package or prefer to book each hotel and flight independently. The headline price does not cover several large expenses, and the exact sightseeing plan remains open. You need a detailed final quote before deciding.
The experience has a published 5/5 rating from 14 submissions and a 100 percent recommendation rate. The repeated strengths are clear: responsive planning, friendly guides, smooth transfers, and custom service. The main weakness is not poor service, but incomplete price information at the starting stage.
Should You Book My Way Travel’s Indochina Tour?
Book it if you value convenience, private guiding, luxury hotels, and the freedom to adjust the schedule. The route covers the essential first look at Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, with enough time in Siem Reap and an open day in Saigon.
Before committing, request one document showing the final price, hotel categories, flight routes, entrance fees, visas, meals, cruise cabin, transfers, and guide services. Also confirm cancellation terms, since this experience is non-refundable and cannot be amended for a refund.
With those details settled, My Way Travel offers a practical way to connect three rewarding countries without handling every moving part yourself.
