Get there before it changes! This must be the best Exodus holiday I've experienced. First of all a great bunch of fellow travellers make the trip; we all got on very well from the outset. Vinh, the tour leader was very well organised, always knew what was going on and made sure we also knew the 'plan' for the present and following days. Hotels and homestays were of good quality and we were very well looked after wherever we were. Included food was usually excellent and abundant, a slimming holiday it was not! Our leader arranged optional meals at local restaurants; again, the food was varied but always of a high quality.
In travelling in and between Hanoi, Ha Long, Hue, Danang, Hoi An and Saigon, we were exposed to the history and culture of this country. Our guide was very well informed about historical events which has shaped Vietnam.
A good bit of walking, a little bit of paddling and some mad cycling composed the active part of the holiday. I was disappointed with so little kayaking but this was somewhat mitigated by the tremendous views in Ha Long bay.
Just did the Vietnam intro 12 day tour. I loved seeing the different parts of vietnam, highlights would be cycling in ninh binh, the lantern boat ride in Hoi Ann and kayaking in ha long bay. Our group leader was Lauren ryan who made sure everything ran smoothly and knew loads about Vietnam and have plenty of recommendations for food and chill time. She is really easy going and made sure everyone had a laugh- highly recommend!
Unforgettable Tour to Vietnam We love Vietnam - It is a wonderful country - the people very friendly and happy to help wherever possible. We would certainly recommend this tour company and a visit to this wonderful country. This company's team is exceptional! Nothing is too much for them to organise and they offer many suggestions for places to visit for first-time visitors to Vietnam. Thinking of coming back to Vietnam for the north visit next X-mas holiday!
