Doris Bui
Travel is my greatest source of inspiration. Growing up in a challenging mountainous region, I've always dreamt of exploring the untouched beauty of nature, immersing myself in rich local cultures, and savoring the unique flavors of different places. I've saved money from part-time jobs to fund my travels, and each journey has left me with unforgettable experiences and valuable life lessons, especially from the people I've met and the places I've visited. In essence, for me, travel represents freedom, happiness, and the essence of an ideal life. Without it, life would lose its flavor and enthusiasm, leaving behind a bland and uninspiring existence.
I want you to also have the opportunity to experience the happiness and excitement of exploring the most captivating destinations in my homeland, and that's why I'm here to accompany you on your journey.
Welcome to Vietnam, welcome to Indochina, and welcome to these fantastic destinations.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We specialise in creating tours for Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. Regardless of your preferred travel style, we excel in providing exceptional experiences. Whether you're interested in classic and cultural tours, honeymoon tours, off-the-beaten-path tours, food tours, adventure tours, luxurious getaways, or specialised MICE tours, we have them all covered."
How did you get involved in travel?
"After a wonderful trip to Ninh Binh with my best friend, I was inspired to help tourists, especially foreigners, when they visit my country. During a boat trip in Tam Coc, we met two foreigners who were exploring Vietnam on their own. They shared that they faced some challenges such as getting lost, language barriers, and hotels that weren't so great because they didn't have much information about the location. So, I gave them advice on the best places to go, good restaurants and hotels. It was a random encounter but by the end of the trip, they were truly grateful. They even gave me a special gift and we've kept in touch ever since. This experience sparked my passion to become a Travel Expert, with the hope that every traveller enjoys a wonderful and hassle-free experience during their explorations."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"For a wanderer like me, choosing the most unforgettable travel moments isn't easy. But when I think about it, my mind immediately goes back to my journey exploring Thanh Hoa province, right in the heart of Vietnam. It was a month-long visit to my friend's hometown, where I received an incredibly warm welcome from their family and the local community. Even though the village faced some tough conditions, the locals shared their hospitality and introduced me to unique dishes like "củ ấu," a local delicacy. They also guided me to untouched and secluded spots like Bai Dong Beach, which was a hidden paradise.
What struck me most was the genuine sincerity and warmth of the people, even in the face of life's challenges. Living like a local and immersing myself in their daily routines provided me with a deep understanding of their way of life. It was an eye-opening experience that I'll always cherish.
Without that trip, I wouldn't have discovered these serene places, tasted the incredible cuisine, or met such resilient and inspiring people. I'm incredibly grateful for these priceless experiences that have enriched my life in so many ways.

I received very quick and detailed information from Doris the local specialist during the planning phase of our trip. She planned out a few different options for us to choose. She connected with me several times before and during trip to make sure that everything was going smoothly.
Han was a great local guide. We learned so much from her during our tour around the Mekong delta. She has great knowledge about Vietnam. We totally enjoyed learning about the plant life, food and culture. Each one of our experiences were very well organized and enjoyable.
Dear Linda,
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback! It was my pleasure assisting you in planning your trip to Vietnam. I'm thrilled that you had a wonderful time exploring the Mekong Delta with Ms. Han as your tour guide.
If you plan to visit Vietnam again or have any questions in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. My team and I are always here and look forward to serving you on your next vacation. Goodbye and hope to see you soon!
