Dear Travelers and Business Partners,

Curiosity is one of human beings’ best traits. We are born learners with a natural eagerness to explore and understand how things work. And this is where the beauty of travel comes in.

Discovering new lands, cultures, foods, ideas and ways of living opens up our universe and allows us to see the world through different lens - with more beauty, color, zest and perspective than ever before.

In the other hand, travel has never been easier in digital age, when the world is getting flatter and distance is becoming shorter with all new flight routes, international tickets and hotels at any city in the world. Everything is just 1 click away from your phone. With this innovative age and new ease, with lots of information and apps pointing along your travel way, the curiosity for new adventures is fading.

At Sens Asia Travel, we find a great motivation that can balance out the digital convenience and the real human connection. We are a boutique agency who believes in personal connection between local experts and travelers, and between travelers and local people. We want to keep alive the spirit of exploration, the beauty of human touch and positive impacts from travel. We only offer you what we know, what we love and what we have tested! We

hand-picked every single element of our services and make sure you and your clients’ holiday go with smooth operation and high spirit of exploration.

By traveling with Sens Asia, you and your clients will get the personalized program to their interests. In the meantime, the money you spend with us will directly support our local staffs, local suppliers and local communities. From day 1, we have been focusing on sustainable tourism. We invite you to join us in taking care of the environment, paying attention to animal welfare and visiting Community Base Tourism destinations during your trip. All good elements naturally blend in the tour program.

We love the ‘enough’ theory, and by working true to our capacity and knowledge, we are receiving only satisfaction feedbacks which make life easier than handling complains or disappointments.

Welcome to Southeast Asia, and now I invite you awaken your senses!

Sincerely,LINH BUIManaging Director

Travelers SAY ABOUT US

“Birthday with 30 friendsI recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a group of 30 friends for 3 weeks in Vietnam and Thailand which was made so much easier with the amazing assistance of Sens Asia. From the range of product, to the 24/7 support on the ground this company has it all together! They were always professional, flexible, great value for money and super friendly throughout. As a travel professional myself working in the industry for over 20 years, Sens Asia was a breath of fresh air who went above and beyond to make my holiday one of the best I’ve ever had! I will recommend them with confidence and they will be organising all of my trips to SE Asia from now on. Well done!”

Mr. Beattie Stuart - Australia

“Thank You!Thank you for crafting an once-in-a-lifetime experience for my son and stepson. We had an amazing time in Vietnam under the care of Sens. I’ve traveled to many places around the world, and I think Vietnam may very well be my favorite place. The food is wonderful, the scenery is gorgeous, and above all, the people are so kind and optimistic.”

Ms. Jen Lum - USA

“Outstanding customer service!We really did have a wonderful time in Saigon. Our visa-on-arrival process was very smooth. The arrival transfer was great, and the Vespa Tour AMAZING! That is such a good tourism product. Thanks for all your assistance”

Mr. Alcock Benjamin Anthony - UK

“Amazing experienceI want to thank the team from Sens Asia Travel for their very professional and pro active service and fantastic arrangements. Everything was perfect from the private car arrangements, companies they selected for the tours and also their tour guides. Very happy and will book again with their team!”

Mr. Benjamin Seelos - Austria

“Amazing experience, great guides, perfect planningWe were thoroughly impressed and delighted by the detailed itinerary and seamless planning of Sens Asia, especially since we made this 11-day trip at the last minute after canceling a long-planned trip to Bali because of the volcano eruptions. Every guide and driver in Vietnam was cheerful, well-informed, punctual and a pleasure to spend time with. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, spent a couple days there, survived the crazy scooter traffic and visited significant sites. There were also many surprisingly lovely moments — a spectacular lunch in the country home of an accomplished TV and film producer near Hoi An, a tea with two math teachers close to our age who lived through the war in their generations-old family home in Hanoi, a terrific theater show and great restaurants everywhere.”Mr. Steven & Mrs. Sarah Wilstein - USA

“OutstandingTraveled with them to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam: outstanding! Very professional and knowledgeable, able to tailor specific trip and offer an excellent support. VERY recommended!”

Mr. Maurizio Vagnozzi - Italia

“Fantastic, friendly service and great prices!...Having worked in travel for many years myself, I can highly recommend the Sens Asia team.”

Ms. Jodie Lemon - Australia

‘Sens’ational Asia Travel! Per the subject the travel experience with Sens Asia Travel was simply sensational! From our initial meeting over Skype to the array of itinerary options to the actual holiday and all the beautiful guides and support along the way, we truly got to experience Vietnam in a spectacular way. We visited Saigon and Danang for 9 days and wanted a relaxed holiday with our friends and two babies and it’s exactly what we got! We didn’t need to worry about anything and received 5 star treatment at every interval. We did a bit of sight-seeing with our personal tour guides who were very well versed and incredibly lovely in both Saigon and got to visit Hoi An which was so beautiful. I’ll be using Sens Asia Travel for every trip to Asia. Thanks so much for a trip we will never forget!”

Ms. Samar Mcheileh - Australia

“Applause for service Your guides in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap are to be applauded for their friendliness, courtesy, knowledge, and desire to help always. Nothing was too difficult or too hard for them. For that the group would like me to thank you, your company and the guides for their excellent service.”

Dr. Tan Wee Liat - USA

“Solo and safe Wonderful experience and I felt taken care of. Traveling as a single woman I felt very safe.”

Ms. Katrina Irene Brail - USA

3 years in the business with 99% EXCELLENT feedback rate, we are working hard to keep up with our clients’ love and entrustment.

HANOI URBAN HIKE HALF DAYGet ready for an off-grid adventure right at the heart of Hanoi city. After a short car transfer from your hotel, we reach the shore of the Red River. We start here a 2-kilometer hike across an oasis of green set amidst the urban jungle. We walk on a little pathway across one of the biggest islands of the Red River. This gentle walk takes us along fruit orchards, banana plantations and vegetable gardens. It feels like stepping into another dimension, miles and miles away from the bustling capital. Yet, look up and you will spot the skyscrapers that seem so close. We then walk up an immense piece of heritage, the iconic Long Bien Bridge, designed by Eiffel and heavily bombed during the war. Walking along it is like bridging between two worlds with beautiful views over both the city and the island. We end our walk at the Dong Xuan covered market. Explore the colourful stalls before transferring back to the hotel.

VIETNAM NOODLE TRAILSVietnam is definitely a noodles-country with no less than 6 different types of them. So we have selected three noodle-based dishes, leaving aside the classic bun cha, bun bo or pho soup that one can very easily try on your own at just about every corner of the city centre, rather we are going to take you on a nice urban walk to sample some other popular dishes.

The trail take you to interesting places under local name such as “under-the-railway zone” of Dong Xuan to taste “banh da” with crunchy fish. Walk along Phan Dinh Phung – one of the most beautiful street in Hanoi, then turn to Truc Bach peninsula which is full of specialised noodle food shops. You will discover different ways to prepare these noodles, sautéed or rolled with beef and veggies.

Last but not least, you walk to another little street called Yen Ninh where we have some mien with eels. After the trip, we are 100% sure that you deserve a Certificate for Noodle Sampling Champion.
