Good Service and Highly Recommended！ - Had a really good experience with this agency in Vietnam. They were quick to reply, easy to communicate with, and very helpful throughout. One of the highlights was the street food walk — we got to try amazing local dishes at spots we would never have found on our own. The guide explained the food well and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. Everything was arranged smoothly and as promised, which made the trip stress-free. Super friendly and reliable service — would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi, especially food lovers!

Hanoï old town tour - I did the tour with Minh.
He was very friendly and explained many things about the places we saw but also about Vietnamese culture in general. He also game us many recommandations for food places to try in the next days.
He took the time to take us to some places that were not planned initially but that we were interested to see.

Sweet memories in Hanoi - I booked for a 4D, 3N tour in Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Halong Bay. Piu Piu travel created a very memorable experience for my 1st time visit in Vietnam. I'll never forget the kind and sweet hospitality shown by Tina and team, even before I step foot in Vietnam. The scenery is majestic, the food is fantastic, the culture is awesome, and amazingly the weather is perfect. Definitely deserve my perfect 5 star rating, and I hope to visit Vietnam another time again in the future.

Evening tour in Hanoi - We took a tour with Huong and Ha and they were so sweet they took us to eat dinner and then to the train street to drink coffee. They told us the history of the green lake, egg coffee and the story about Ho Chi Minh. They were the best tour guides we could ask for we highly recommend!!!!
