I took the "Vietnam Essence Discovery – 7 Days" trip, and it was an amazing experience! First of all, I would like to thank Tessa, our tour manager. She was incredibly helpful and excellent, making my trip not only perfect but also suitable for my budget. Everything was perfectly organized and went smoothly. I can't describe in words how incredibly beautiful Vietnam is and how well the trip was planned. I didn’t have to worry about anything! I will definitely visit again and book my trip with Tessa and team. Thanks again, Tessa, for an unforgettable trip!
Lettie Flythe | Traveled in July
Wonderful vacation! Vietnam surprised me - it was so much different than what I had heard in the past. From north to south, it's a beautiful in it own way. I loved bavi eco tour, we had the chance to bike around the village, learn to make spring rolls. Hoi An is also a beautiful town with a unique culture. Its architecture gives off a "movie about the past" vibe, and the paddle boat trip was a lot of fun. Since my friend is passionate about history, Cuchi tour was her favorite, while the Mekong Delta tour was mine, i love the people there. I think Vietnam has a lot more to experience, I really looking forward to my next trip to Vietnam.
