Traveler reviews
Best time of my life
Experience was amazing. The tour guide was a lovely character gave a history of Vietnam and and his knowledge and you could tell the passion from his voice and explaining where we’re going and and the culture what to expect.. Excursions were just out of this world I didn’t want it to stop or end was wonderful apart from the rain which didn’t stop us. The people were lovely as they gave us information beforehand to bring cash and for Hotel was spot-on. Four star gave us a list of local famous foods street foods in particular. I can’t recommend this enough that if this is your first time in Vietnam do all these excursions open your eyes see the culture Vietnamese people are lovely always helpful and the tourist company who will travel with organised? They have different excursions going ahead it was executed perfectly.
An awesome 2 days!
A fantastic and very full 2 day trip. Lots of great stuff and very well organised. We had kids with us and were vegetarian (and vegan) and this was all managed really well. The food was really nice. The guide, Bac, was INCREDIBLE! it was also a really nice group of people to spend the time with.
Mekong overnight exploration
Really interesting overnight stay. Loved the small island trip and small boats through the coconut farm. Hotel was fine and in great location. Thank you Nelson for being so lovely and sharing lots of history, culture and top tips!
Superb experience.
Very good experience. The guide gave a lot of explanations, which was great. The activities are well put together (perhaps sometimes too fast). The hotel is perfect.
Overall, there was too much travel time, 7-9 hours - it could be organized more effectively.
Day 1 was about 4 hours of travel, but with several stops - everything was created for tourists - by 3 PM, we were at the hotel and could plan the evening freely - the next morning, we did not leave for the market early but only at 7:30 AM - this way, the tour guide could sleep longer. - therefore, much had already been dismantled and was over - super unfortunate - normally, it should be market first and then breakfast at the hotel - not the other way around - then we traveled many hours back with a terrible lunch - the tour guide just went through the program - not a single word outside - without love and with no enthusiasm - we returned to the starting point around 3 PM - about 400-500 km in total - touristy. Trip - we would not book again.
