"Globetrotting Gourmet has worked with Tho Minh Vu for some 8 years now, and we have always found him excellent. Consequently, we're working with Tho & Asia Top Travel exclusively for our tours in Vietnam"

"Hello Anh Tho, Ha Long is just breath-takingly beautiful. We had a really good time with you as our very own guide. We felt very honoured that you took time out from your busy schedule to be with us and showed us the magnificent Ha Long Bay. Without your help in Ha Noi things would have been a bit difficult. So thank you for all your assistance. It was much appreciated"

"Tho Vu Minh was our Tour Guide in Vietnam, during our October 2007 holiday. This 27 year old native was exceptional! From the moment that we arrived in the Hanoi Airport, to our departure from Saigon to Siem Reap, our trip was an exciting adventure, led by an excellent, knowledgeable, and caring guide, with a lively sense of humor.
It is a huge responsibility to keep a group safe, happy, excited and involved, and Tho had the expertise to lead us forward. On a trip, clients want their individual needs met immediately, and Tho handled all situations with understanding, insight, and positive encouragement, very naturally.
Tho went out of his way to make our Vietnam adventure come alive...that is my distinction between a very good guide, and an excellent one! Tho loves his country and is so proud to be Vietnamese, which was very evident in his presentations and delivery. He wanted us to learn as much as possible about his beautiful country, during the 16 days that we were together, so that we would understand his feelings about his family, his people, their customs and traditions, and the countryside. Tho drew us into the heart of his country with his knowledge, empathy, as well as sharing his insights and interpretations, which were very meaningful.
If you have the opportunity to visit Vietnam and travel with Tho Vu Minh, every moment will be an amazing and unforgettable adventure! He is one exceptional, excellent Tour Guide, as well as possessing the qualities of an outstanding human being"

"We met Tho (Thom) in 2005 when he was our tour guide on our first trip to Vietnam. He is an amazing, very professional tour guide whose depth of knowledge about Vietnamese history, culture and tradition is truly outstanding. He speaks excellent English and is incredibly hardworking and friendly. In 2006 he was shortlisted for the Paul Morrison Top Guide Award run by Wanderlust, a popular UK travel magazine, a well deserved nomination. He has also appeared on American television where he acted as a local Vietnamese guide for the host of the Bizarre food show, Andrew Zimmerman. We have been back to Vietnam on 3 occasions and each time we have used his services to plan our itinerary. We can definitely recommend his outstanding service and attest to his ability to plan a diverse itinerary to meet the needs of all ages and types of travellers"

"Over the last four years, Vu Minh Tho and Asia Top Travel have made my trips to Vietnam for both tourism and business a real pleasure. My family remembers the day we spent cycling and relaxing on the Red River Delta boat trip, along with Christmas Eve on a junk in Ha Long Bay as two spectacular highlights of our visit to the Northern part of Vietnam. Mr. Tho's lively descriptions of the countryside, Vietnam's people and its history have given us lasting memories of this beautiful country. In the South, Mr. Tho's coordination of the logistics for a business trip in the Mekong Delta gave me a worry-free experience, including options for a driver, translator and hotels, letting me concentrate completely on my work. This efficiency had the unintended result that, in fact, I found myself with enough time to squeeze in a terrific walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City. Go ahead and book your trip with Asia Top Travel - you'll remember your trip to Vietnam forever! - Jeff Singleton,USA, 2009"
"My dear Mr Tho. You did a wonderful, wonderful job for us, were more patient than anyone could have hoped, and are as terrific as Carol and Don told me.... hey-- maybe even more! I will keep in touch" - Roberta Intrater, New York, USA, 10 March 2009
"Dear Mr Tho, thanks a lot for all your help and care. It was my pleasure working with you and I am sure I will keep cooperating with you.
You definitely made my time top efficiency and organized with both the driver, the translator and your kindly help on the background and I am really appreciating it.
Again thanks a lot and thanks for your trust to receive the money only at the end, it means a lot for me".
