Laos and Vietnam Tours and Trips

Great tour, would particularly recommend to families with children between about 10-14. Our tour leader, was excellent. Generous with his extensive knowledge, and careful to provide information at times and in ways which all members of our group could appreciate. He was good company as well as a good leader. The tour was fun for all of us (two adults and a 12 year old), and we would all do something similar again.

Duong was an amazing leader with a wonderful sense of humour. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about his country. He cared about each and every one of us and consistently ensured we were all happy and comfortable with arrangements. He would move the itinerary around to suit us and the weather and also suggested and added other extra trips/experience's he thought we may enjoy. Overall, an excellent leader.

What a wonderful trip. Our tour leader Jackie was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable, well organised and took care of us all so well. Jackie was good humoured and solved anything that came up. The itinerary was full on, but we loved that . The accommodation was mixed some good , some brilliant, the hotel in Ho Chi Minh was a bit ropey. Loved it thanks Jackie

Fast-paced tour of the whole of Vietnam. The organisation was excellent. The hotels were great and many had a pool. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It ticked all the boxes for the must sees of a beautiful country. I can highly recommend.

Thin was an excellent guide. He tailored the trip to our needs, was organised, had expert knowledge of the country, was good with teenagers and had a great understanding of the needs of a family travelling.

We really enjoyed this comprehensive tour of Vietnam. Including time in more rural areas as well as the well known cities and sites, it gave us a great insight into local culture and there was plenty of opportunity to meet the locals who were incredibly friendly. The trip ran seemlesly in the extremely capable hands of our tour leader Diem, one of the best we've had (this was our 6th family holiday with Explore). Highlights would include all of the bike rides, exploring Tam Coc caves by boat, Saigon by cyclo, the amazing food, so fresh and plentiful, and the kids loved haggling for bargains in the markets and shops (especially Hoi An). Accommodation and transport were both of a great standard. Well done Explore!
