AFC Holiday conducted a Tour in December to Vietnam and our Tour Consultant was also accompanied by our Team. During the trip to Vietnam, we didn’t face any hassles or dragging. All the plans have been perfectly conducted and coordinated by AFC. Special thanks to AFC. The AFC Holidays teams have perfectly arranged accommodation, transportation, food, and a guide at the Destination. Thanks to AFC Teams also.

It was a pleasure planning Vietnam trip with AFC and they team. From the minute I called AFC to the time I reached home, he was excellent from sorting the itinerary, to checking details, following up on the trip and finally making sure we made it back safely. We travelled with my 18 month old baby and Team assured us that we would be perfectly comfortable in Vietnam and it surely was. The hotel in Hanoi , the cruise , the bus, the tour guide and choice of restaurants in Vietnam were all perfect. We were able to see all major tourist attractions and enjoy the delicacies of the country. Travelled with AFC for the 1st time but it felt like we have always travelled with them. Team was very pleasing to speak with and others in his team including the visa team and customer service. Will surely use them for all my travel plans :)
