Usually you could get your Visa on arrival if you land in an airport. However, my wife and I…read moreplanned to enter Vietnam at the land border from Cambodia so a full Visa is required. You could send your passport to the Vietnam embassy and they could do it for less but... they're in Ottawa. You'd have to put your passport in the mail which would make me too nervous. Once you pay for a more secure method of delivery, price doesn't make a difference anyway. So enter Vietnam Travel Centre where I just submitted my documentation online and it was done within a week. No problems, no issues. The only thing is when I went to pick it up they were almost closed and they didn't know where the Visa was because the person who was dealing with it left already. They wanted me to come back the next day but that would be out of the way. Finally they were able to call the person and then I got it no problem. The $90 for this slip of paper was cheaper than other travel agencies wanting $100-$120. In the end I got in and out of Vietnam no problem so it was legit!

Vacation Planning + Review…read more EDA Travel Ltd is a nice little agency that is tucked away into a tiny shopping plaza. It is by far one of the smallest places you'll find with almost no way to recognize it as it does not stick out from it's surrounding stores at all! They barely have any advertising or signage outside and they definitely don't have any colorful displays of anything that will draw your attention to them, but that being said, it is everything on the inside that counts; from a travel agency stand point, that is referring to their staff. Our family has been planning a vacation to Japan in Asia and a friend in Richmond recommended someone by the name of Elsa to us that works at EDA. She is a wonderful person with a definite heart that is willing to work out anything and everything for your traveling needs. She helped us organize all our travel plans from flight, taxi, tours, and hotels without a single bit of pressure. She even continued to help us shop for deals AFTER hotels have already been booked. So even after reserving hotels, she would send us information for a cheaper and better hotels around the same area, then proceed to help us do all the paper work. Our trip isn't due till mid-May, but judging from the attention to detail, friendly staff, and no pressure attitude, this trip is already looking pretty great! If you're looking for a Chinese travel agency and around the Richmond area, give this place a shot, or maybe just walk in and ask for information so you can judge their service yourself. You should be relatively pleased.

Very helpful staff, good service and great communication, price is good . Highly recommend.read more

She gives good information and details. Often she can suggest something you don't even think about and get great results. So please take care to plan your trip carefully. Just because you know how to book on the internet doesn't mean you are getting the best deal. Advice is extremely important when you go to another country. Shahmyn is an expert and I trust her professionalism and her dedicated aspect in making every journey great. Make every journey memorable. Booking with Shahmyn will give you that head start. Happy Travelling.

Outstanding Customer Service from Jemma Waterman…read more I want to take a moment to recognize Jemma Waterman with Odenza for the exceptional customer service she provided. She truly went above and beyond to help us secure our reservation. We had previously placed a hold on a stay, but when Jemma was unable to locate the actual reservation, she didn't simply tell us there was nothing she could do. Instead, she took the extra step of reaching out to her supervisor to get approval to honor the stay we had put on hold. She worked diligently to get everything resolved and secure our reservation. We were also traveling with a pet, which added another layer of coordination and work, and Jemma handled everything with patience and professionalism. She even followed up by email with our reservation confirmation, making sure we had everything we needed. I was extremely impressed by her courtesy, professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to help. It's employees like Jemma who make a customer feel valued and appreciated. Thank you, Jemma, for all you do and for going the extra mile to make sure everything worked out for us. Your outstanding customer service is truly appreciated!

** Review for Currency Exchange **…read more Oakridge & 41st is a busy area and it gets busier everyday. There are all the major banks in this area and when I needed to exchange currency I would go wait in line at the bank. Then one day as I sat relaxing in Oak Ridge I saw the small exchange booth at the front of Marlin Travel. Since their main service is currency exchange this is the first place I would go if I need any type of currency. If you need an unusually large amount I would call ahead to be sure, but as mentioned there are enough banks in the area you can get what you need. Everytime I use their currency exchange it takes less than two minutes and that is not exaggerating. This location is directly inside of the 41st St entrance on the right past the White Spot.

We went in there 2 months ago inquiring deals on japan and Taiwan travel. We waited patiently until…read morethe lady finished her call and asked her about travel deals. She just pointed us to the wall and said go find it there. We told her that we already looked there and didn't see anything. To be honest, I already checked online and saw that there is something so that was online but I didn't tell her that. We told her that we are looking to book because we are going to attend a wedding in Taiwan in March. The lady took down our information and said will contact us afterwards. I am not sure if it because we look young and think we can't afford to travel or she thinks we are not serious on our trip planning but up till this day we still weren't contacted. I will not give business or recommend any of my friends to this travel agency ever!
