A really enjoyable trip. Fascinating cultural experiences in the tribes, spectacular and relaxing Halong Bay, the madness of Hanoi, and the sights of the rest of Vietnam. A couple of days of trekking, but more walking after that. Still tiring due to the heat/humidity, early starts and some long bus rides. Well worth the experience.
I really enjoyed my time on the Vietnam explorer. Lucas was an incredible tour guide, always happy and positive. Not only was Lucas really fun and entertaining, he also knew a lot about the history of Vietnam and was full of great recommendations for food and nightlife.
Seyha and Lucas were amazing Seyha and Lucas were amazing, I am struggling to find any faults. Both of them have such amazing energy, which was ideal when joining a group with strangers. They were very organisied, all activities and travel ran very smoothly, and didn’t feel at all stressful. They were very inclusive with everyone, always making conversation and making sure everyone was ok. I felt very safe with them, which was very important for me as a woman solo travelling south east Asia. I would consider both of them good friends, and will miss them a lot. I’d recommend a tour with either of them to anyone, I feel lucky to have gotten them both! They are both so funny, fun, interested and interesting people. There was a perfect balance of facts and fun, I have learnt a lot on this trip. Being able to experience Vietnamese culture with a Vietnamese person was incredible, something I’ll treasure always. All of the planned activities were fantastic, I have done things that I’d never dreamt of. The Highlights for me were quad biking on the sand dunes in Mui Ne, seeing the amazing Ninh Binh and Ha long bay, and the beautiful city Hoi An. I’m so happy I did this tour in the most incredible country.
