A guide sent just for my questions! I witnessed great history and only because of the guide we had. I'm a very curious person but I did not have enough time to read all the destinations we were going to visit and boy was he sent for us! Not only was he very friendly and upbeat but also quite knowledgeable. He explained everything we asked and it shone a whole new light to the beautiful places we saw.
This tour is a must-take if you are a fan of Southeast Asia culture since it allows you to experience the tradition and modernity of three different nations. Honestly, it's difficult to criticize any part of this vacation, including the well-planned visits through the most beautiful landscapes, the wonderful accommodations, the delicious cuisine (especially Vietnamese street food), and the generally laid-back and casual environment. Definitely will be back soon for another tour of those countries!
Such a privilege, travelling on a nuclear-powered Russian icebreaker which spends most of the year keeping the northern Russian seaways clear for cargo ships: a brilliant job was due to convert it temporarily for tourists. The dour Heroes of the Motherland were retained to crew the vessel which made it all the more atmospheric, but they couldnt compete for character with the polar bears, especially the one who was so co-operative for photos despite us having distracted him from his kill.The only downside was that we werent warned how hot the boat is: future travellers need to take some light clothing for indoors.
