We went on two tours with this company: The Cu Chi tunnels with Aaron (half day tour), and the “Inside Mekong Delta” tour in Ben Tre with Kyler (full day tour). Both tours were excellent and both guides were extremely good, sweet, service minded and knowledgeable, and they made the days fantastic for us. They had great inside knowledge and made the experiences very authentic by telling not only relevant fact and information, but also relating it with personal stories. We highly recommend spending some days with them, and believe that this tour operator can survive in the competition by their amazing guides!!!

I would not dream of using any other travel agency in Vietnam to book tours/trips now. I first used A – Travel Mate Co when came to Vietnam four years ago, referred by my internship programme. We were connected to Sophie who arranged incredible tours for us to Ba Be Lake, Mai Chau, Halong Bay and the Cu Chi Tunnels.
Four years later (post Covid), I messaged Sophie again who, to my delight, was still with the company. Her service is truly fantastic, arranging a host of trips for us with all our communication taking place seamlessly on WhatsApp. Sophie responds very quickly to all and any questions, and has even been available on multiple occasions (very early) on the morning of the trip to ensure pick ups run smoothly. She is also very helpful in ensuring the trips accommodate for vegetarian diets. And, Sophie was even able to offer visa guidance through the company’s visa team.
If you are new to/ unfamiliar with Vietnam, having a reliable travel agent just a text is truly invaluable.
And when it came to the trips themselves, they are some of my best ever memories on Vietnam. The quality of drivers are especially exceptional, who really look after you and keep you safe on the journeys. Cars/ buses/ limousines are always great quality, and the trip itineraries are never too packed to exhaust you, always enough room for free time.
Will definitely be booking more during my stay in Vietnam and thank you for all the wonderful memories!

A two week trip in Vietnam. From north to south what a great experience.
We did de eral tours with Travel mate during those two week. Well organised and the guides were great.
In Hanoi we had a guide called Hà. He showed us all and the some nice adjustments in the ittenuary.
During the Sapa excursion our guide Me took us through the Rice fields and told us all about living in the North of Vietnam. What a great experience.
In Hue and Hoi An we had one of best and lovely guides I ever met during my travel years. Xi took us everywhere in these two cities. Like we did she loves good good as well and let us tast of the great Vietnam good. And she exactly knew what we expected from the 4 days in two cities.
In Saigon Cruong (Mr Lee) was our guide. Showed us all around, had good info and some recommadation for good good.
Thanks to these guides we had a great time in Vietnam. Ha, Me, Xi and Mr Lee thanks for showing us Vietnam.

Very detailed and meticulously panned trip. My entire trip in Vietnam - Hanoi, Hue, Hoi Ann And Ho Chi Minh beautifully crafted and planned making the trip very memorable.
Air[port transfers, Hotel pickup for tours, Lunch during the tours everything was well organized.
A special mention to Ms. Trang. She is a gem of a person and an epitome of Customer Service. She is a great asset to AtravelMate.

We had an amazing day with Huy, the best guide a tourist could ask for. Not only was he full of information but he was easy going and had a great sense of humor. Huy told us everything there was to know about each and every location we visited. Would recommend Huy and A Travel Mate to anyone traveling in Viet Nam. Can't wait to go back and travel the Mekong. Hopefully with Huy

The warmth and ease that Hung communicated, interjecting humor and pride in his home made it feel like we were friends rather than a customers. His knowledge of what was important rather than pushing towards what was touristy made it comfortable and enjoyable. So much so, that we were lucky to have secured him a second day during our 5-day stay. Thanks Hung!!

Well, where to start on this one. We had booked this for two people via Viator but it was operated by A Travel Mate. My partner and I were expecting two fit young men. What we got was one Very Old Guy (who must have been pushing 80) and one Slightly Less Old Guy (60+). Henceforth I will refer to these as them as VOG and SLOG.
Outside the hotel at 8:00 am we spotted but SLOG, dressed in a mismatched old suit, sporting a bulldog clip on his pants and chain-smoking, next to a single cyclo. Not quite believing this could be our "guide" we waited back in the lobby.
Minutes later one of the hotel doormen came up and showed us a phone with my name on it and when I confirmed my name he said that SLOG was indeed one of our guides. SLOG then proceeded to ask via the doorman to say our tour was 3 hours - we told we had booked for 4. It was apparent that SLOG had zero English so he then he asked, again via the doorman where we wanted to go. We said we kind of expected them to tell us!
So we went outside and 10 minutes later VOG turned up. Seriously, he did not look like he would make it through the trip and I was genuinely concerned for his health. Both cyclos were battered and old, with torn covers. If we had seen these two on the street we would never have hired them in a million years. Suffice to say they looked nothing like on the Viator pictures.
So we set off and immediately SLOG lit the first of many cigarettes which he chain-smoked throughout the trip. VOG lit up shortly after. We both detest smoking and it was very unpleasant for us.
After 15 minutes we pulled over for no apparent reason. It transpired that VOG needed the toilet so he just jumped out onto the verge behind us and proceeded to relieve himself, in full public view. We were in shock and couldn't quite believe it
With our mouths still wide open we set off again and eventually arrived at the flower market. SLOG followed us around in basically a square, back to the cyclos. It was pretty enough but we spent 5 minutes there at most.
We then set off to a general market and along the way VOG pushed me in the shoulder at regular intervals to draw my attention to things he felt worthy of interest. One of these was a group of over-dressed "ladies of the night" in full regalia at a cafe, touting for business at 8:45 am! My partner was not amused.
We then zoomed past what I assume was the pet market which consisted of a few shops selling various animals off the street - we never saw any actual market and we never stopped - I just had a few more pushes in my shoulder.
The first market we stopped at was okay and we managed to make SLOG understand that we wanted to explore on our own.
We then set off to another small general market, along the way passing by the promised electronics market though again without stopping. The second market was okay though as I mentioned, quite small.
Our final stop was at a temple in Chinatown - the actual Chinatown itself looked interesting but again there was no stopping, just more shoves in the shoulder as they cycled past.
We then set off on the rather lengthy return journey with plenty of smoking and loud shouting going on between the two "guides". We never had a word of explanation from either of them along the journey for anything we saw, only the shoulder shoves, that was it.
We were on the street containing our hotel and indicated we wanted to get off early as we'd had enough by this stage. There was no drink provided by them and no sign of the promised coconut water - if they'd been paid to provide it then they just apparently just pocketed the money. As we walked off they both loudly both started demanding "tip money" which was obviously at least one piece of English they had bothered to learn.
Of course, as a result of the above they got nothing from us.
This was the only dud tour of our trip but as you can tell was pretty appalling and a waste of money. I would recommend you don't go near this activity. If you do want a cyclo trip then find one on these street and negotiate a price and content there and then, preferably with a guide who has some English and a decent machine.

The Cu Chi tunnels were amazing and the history was sad but intriguing. I caught our guide Minh taking photos of girls bottoms when they had his back to him which was really disappointing. When I said something he pretended not to understand me despite the fact he was our English guide and just kept laughing then trying to take photos of us together. It’s a shame because despite cultural differences, you somewhat trust your guide and don’t expect that kind of behaviour.
