Very good value with many excellent activities included in the tour.
We had a fantastic time exploring Vietnam. It's a beautiful country, and the people were incredibly friendly and welcoming wherever we went. The itinerary was quite full, with a few early starts, but we were happy to fit in as much as possible because every excursion was worthwhile. Everything was well… MoreWe had a fantastic time exploring Vietnam. It's a beautiful country, and the people were incredibly friendly and welcoming wherever we went. The itinerary was quite full, with a few early starts, but we were happy to fit in as much as possible because every excursion was worthwhile. Everything was well organized, and we always felt looked after throughout the trip.
The hotels exceeded our expectations and were very comfortable, with a couple even having lovely swimming pools to relax in after a busy day. We also enjoyed the local food much more than we expected, and it certainly didn't hurt that the beer was so affordable! Cruising through Halong Bay was peaceful and scenic, while the activities in the Mekong Delta added a nice variety to the itinerary. My son especially enjoyed the cycling and kayaking. And of course, learning how to cross the busy streets of Hanoi without panicking became part of the adventure! We'd definitely travel with this company again. Less
We had a really good trip around Vietnam as a family of three. The daily WhatsApp messages were very useful as we always knew what was happening the next day. We had different guides in each city and their English was not always the same, but they were all very friendly.

We saw a lot during the trip, from historical sites and temples to museums and UNESCO sites. The food was also amazing. I could honestly eat Vietnamese food every day. Hoi An was probably one of our favourite places, especially in the evening when all the lanterns were lit.
We also enjoyed the Halong Bay cruise. The boat was a bit old, but the staff were lovely and the food and activities were good. The only thing we found difficult was walking in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as the traffic is quite chaotic and there are not always proper pavements. Less
Every destination was amazing in its own way, and there were so many fun moments along the way. Moon was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the journey, always making sure everything went smoothly. We felt safe and well looked after from beginning to end. It was a fantastic experience and one we’ll definitely remember for a long time.
This tour was very well organized and easy to enjoy. The hotels, meals, and activities all met our expectations, and there was always something fun for our children to do. The guides were friendly and informative, making the whole experience even better.
