"We've now been back from our holiday for a couple of weeks and just had to write to thank you again for the tour you organized for us in Vietnam. Everything went smoothly - the 3 guides who took care of us along the way were excellent (friendly, knowledgeable and helpful).
"I have been booking Hotel rooms through www.indochinaguides.com for the past year - reason being it is able to give very good rates and fast service. I have tried other websites before but none of them can match that of indochinaguides.com for geting value-for money Hotel rooms in Vietnam"
More tourists return every year to stock wardrobes with their own creations made cheaply in Hoi An. Prices are rising but this is still one of the cheapest places to shop on earth!
The tailor shops in Hoi An carry many different fabrics. You will find an array of different colours, patterns, textures & quality of fabric.

Indochina Guides guarantees for responsible travel and how it works
We use local guides at all destinations in Vietnam so as to provide jobs to local young people, especially like Sapa, Ha Giang, Hue, Mekong. We try to use local products like homestays in Sapa, Mekong and other locally owned hotels and guesthouses.
We take tourists to local restaurants where local food is being served by the local people and buy local food of the places we travel to.
We encourage our travellers to spend their money locally, e.g. buying local food and souvenirs and visit places of interests where they use fees to maintain conservation
Environmental responsibility
We try not to use paper for marketing promotion, we spend most of our money to attract people using internet, and encourage our clients not to print their emails. We also reuse the bottles of water on tours and the bags provided.
The boats in Halong Bay, we try to use sails when possible and turn off the engines when boats are not running, we also use recharge batteries for our usage of lights on the boats so that we do not have to fuel a generator. We turn off the AC when it is not necessary on buses, and try to share buses/cars on our tours.
Social responsibility
We fully understand our culture and society and provide our travellers with full information on our culture, customers, languages, code of conducts well in advance of the tours.
We use hotels and guesthouses where they employ the local people like in Sapa, Halong, Mai Chau. We also work with a boat company in Halong Bay to help the local communities.
