    Thoroughly enjoyed Vietnam as a country and loved the places visited on the itinerary. Definitely think Ninh Binh needs another night if the tour can be extended to a day trip. Really struggled with how much free time we had most afternoons as I did the day Philippines and the day total Asia which didn’t leave much time for relaxation. To then move to a more relaxed slower pace felt like we weren’t getting great value for money in comparison (although the transport and accommodation were the best of all the tours). If the tour isn’t to change maybe Vietnam needs to be moved to the first tour of the days?

    This trip definitely exceeded my expectations. Kevin was really informative and answered any questions we had. Booking a tour allowed me to not worry about anything and I found the included activities to be all great! Especially enjoyed having nights in one place (Hoi An). I enjoyed the free time we were given in the afternoons as Kevin gave us good recommendations on activities and places to eat. If I didn’t make good friends on the tour then maybe I wouldn’t have enjoyed the free time as much but everyone was so lovely and welcoming. We were always together even when we didn’t have to be. An extra night in Ninh Binh would have been great to explore the area more. Accomodation was way better than I expected it to be and especially liked the twin share situation rather than a big group.

    I loved Vietnam, it's such an incredible country with spectacular culture. I'm so glad I choose to do this tour. I wish there had been more activities included in the trip so that we could have fully experienced Vietnam. I loved Ho Chi Minh city, and the bike tours we did. I loved the time spent in Ninh Binh, and in Hoi An. The time on the boat in Ha Long Bay was also spectacular, the sunset views were the best. I would so recomend this tour if you wanted a cultural, relaxed adventure.

    Vietnam explorer was an incredible way of seeing the very best of Vietnam. In such a short time we have seen so much. I am so grateful for Kevin on our tour for making me feel safe, giving fab recommendations, and sharing Vietnams history with us. The tour had a great balance of chill time along with well planned activities.

    Kevin was such a lovely tour guide. He answered any questions we had and was truly passionate about Vietnam which meant that every activity and recommendation was above standard. Vietnam has so many cities that are worth visiting which can be overwhelming and having Kevin there to guide us through each place was so lovely. I would recommend to anyone looking to travel to Vietnam with TruTravels. As there is so much to do, he made sure that there was a good split between booked activities and free time so that we could explore and choose what we wanted to do here.
