Our recently concluded Vietnam tour with Flying Squirrel was a wonderful experience where we enjoyed every moment of our trip mainly because of well planned itinerary with various services offered by Flying Squirrel during our 8 days tour in Vietnam. Special mention of Ms Anindita & Ms Debomita of Flying Squirrel who constantly guided us & were accessible round the clock to help us right from landing at Vietnam till boarding our flight back to home. We look forward to have Flying Squirrel as our future travel partner also.

Visited Thailand (Bangkok & Phuket) with my family in January 2024 through this tour operating company. They prepared a customised itinerary for us, booked our hotels at both locations and arranged all associated transportation and sight-seeing tours. We had an enjoyable trip. Both hotels were good. The tours and transportation too were good and very well arranged by their local tour partners. They had created an Whatsapp group for close monitoring of our tour, which was very effective and assuring. Many thanks to the Flying Squirrel Holidays team !

This is our second trip with flying squirrel. They handled everything for our trip to Vietnam. We received hassle free Cab pickups and drops, very friendly staff and guide. The accomodations were wonderful. The company officials were always on stand by and made sure we enjoyed every moment of our trip. We are extremely grateful for their co-operation and sincerity. Would love to plan more trips with them in the future.

We had an excellent experience travelling with Flying Squirrels to Singapore as a family. Every arrangement was immaculate and hassle free. The local guide was constantly in touch with us and for any queries we received instant help. Looking forward to more such wonderful trips with them in future. Keep up the great work!!

I booked a trip with my mom for Bangladesh with Flying Squirrel Holidays. As the caption says - its taken care of, the team stood up to my expectations. It was an awesome and memorable experience. It was indeed special for me as my mom had a fabulous time. We visited 4-5 places in Bangladesh and every arrangement in each and every place was great. Starting from their flight booking service, visa processing, currency exchange, hotels, cab, itinerary, food - all was top notch. I definitely look forward to many more memories with Flying Squirrel Holidays. Well done Team and thanks a ton for the experience 🙏 👍 😀.
