The two day trips were amazing. Both Myke and Sunny were great guides. We had a lot of laughs and they made the atmosphere very cheerful. Sunny was especially helpful with people who had certain food restrictions. Also had great information and even taught us some useful Vietnamese words! Definitely recommend. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience ☺️

No network connection problems during our entire stay in Vietnam. Mainly in large cities from Hanoi to Phu Quoc. I have not tested it in North Vietnam. Negative points: Too bad we can't know the remaining data balance. Visual navigation, then no message. when the balance is reached. Direct cut without being informed.

The eSIM card works very well, we don't have to go buy a SIM outside, and above all the customer service man contacted me because I couldn't install my eSIM and he told me everything. explained by personal messages on WhatsApp, very clearly and patiently, thank you very much to him. So very satisfied

Obtained a 30 day Esim for visiting Vietnam and Cambodia. This was straightforward to use and meant I could access data and texts/calls via WhatsApp, and meant I was not adding anything extra to my current phone account. Brilliant.

This service is excellent! fast wifi anywhere in vietnam. plus, good, fast and efficient technical service assistance.
