From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We, a group of seven members, recently had a thrilling holiday in Vietnam for 8 days. The entire itinerary, travel and accommodation arrangements were done by Team Ethan, led by Ms. Ruby. We had a memorable vacation at two destinations, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and the accommodation at both was very comfortable, with tasty food. The tour itinerary was perfect, with courteous and supportive local guides and comfortable travel by vehicle, and all of us really enjoyed the trip. Kudos to Team Ethan for arranging such an exciting trip.

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
