    The tour covered all the main sights to see throughout Vietnam and was fantastically run! Smithy was a great tour manager and helped with all our questions and had so much information about each destination we reached

    Rhi was the best trip manager I have ever had. She covers everything from being professional, organised, knowledgeable as well as being fun, gets to know everyone on the trip, involved with social activities and makes sure everyone is having the best time possible. Rhi goes above and beyond by recommending local activities and sites to see and even organises tickets and transport for them. She also helps with post trip activities which is next level! Highly recommend a trip with Rhi and I'd want her again as trip manager.

    It’s been 4 years and I still talk about this trip! I met some amazing people whom I remain in contact with today - and none of that would have been possible without our amazing guide - Rhi! Such a bubble, bright and beautiful person inside and out, Rhi was always to the point and ensured everyone on the tour felt comfortable and was enjoying their time. I would 100% recommend any trip with her!

    Rhi is the best tour guide you can have. Shes funny, personable and looks out for you. She’s knowledgeable and is obvious has a great relationship with local vendors and guides. I was a last minute joiner of the Vietnam tour and Rhi made me feel welcome into the already established group.
