14. My credit card number is correct, but it is not accepted on your online reservation form am getting an error while making a payment? Why?


There are a few possibilities:

  1. Make sure you are not using a proxy internet connection. A direct connection to internet is required for security purpose. 
  2. Our Payment Gateway opens in a new Windows. Make sure that pop up blocking software/features are turned off. 
  3. Make sure the input details are correct. 
  4. Make sure the card expiration date does not precede the reservation date. 
  5. Make sure you have not reached your credit limit. 
  6. If you get an error apart from the reasons above, please contact us at info@saigontourist.net, or hotline (+848 8) 38 244 554

 

15. Why is the price at my last check different from that at my last stay? 

This normally depends on market conditions and currency fluctuations. During peak tourist season, convention, fairs etc. the prices are likely to change. Slight variation on periodical basis is more likely to reflect fluctuation in currency exchange rates. 

However, once booked the accommodation price is completely fixed. We guaranteed that our room rates are the most competitive.

 

16. Do you recommend travel insurance?


We strongly recommend that all clients take our travel comprehensive insurance when making a booking.

We also recommend that your insurance covers loss of deposit and other monies through cancellation, loss or damage to personal baggage and loss of money, medical expenses, and additional expenses to cover hotel accommodation and repatriation costs should any services need to be extended or curtailed due to illness or other insurance risk.

 

17. Is there someone to pick me up at airport?


Mostly our tour package is airport to airport so check if your airport transfer included or not on our services voucher.
