    Had such a great time on this scenic Vietnam tour! It was the perfect length of time to see as much as we did, any shorter might feel rushed. The tour covered so much, from the hectic city of Hanoi to the more chilled and beautiful Halong Bay. The homestays were a real treat, both families very welcoming and the food was delicious! Our guide was Huy and he really made it a special trip. He was so knowledgeable and was constantly giving us interesting facts. But he was also very attentive, always wanting to help with any issues we had. He even spent the ‘free time’ with the group, taking us to restaurants! Nothing was ever too much trouble for Huy and he must have the patience of a saint because our group liked to ask a lot of questions! Im so glad I picked this tour and wouldn’t change any part of it.

    The tour was good but I did not feel there was any additional benefits provided by the guided tour so I would recommend rather plan the tour yourself

    The tour did not meet my expectations. I felt that there were areas where the main tour guide and other local guides did not meet my expectations in terms of knowledge and communication. I also felt that time management could be improved within the tour.
