Hanoi Active and outdoor Trips

The trip was fascinating, so different to Australia. There was hikes every day, as indicated by itinerary which were interesting, and we had very knowledgeable guides. The food was great, the accommodation interesting and good. Our leader was always happy and knowledgeable, and very careful for our safety crossing the road etc.

This trip was fabulous, our guide The who worked so hard to keep us informed of the history and culture. My experience on this trip was fabulous , times could of been slowed down in busy places to see more , this is a constructive criticism NOT at all negative. A fabulous adventure and guide , will be back for an other adventure with Explore

This trip was a good balance between cycling, transfers and sight seeing. Do Chi Hung our guide shared much about the history of the country and the sites visited on the trip gave a flavour of the different phases of Vietnam's history. Our itinerary had to be changed due to typhoon hitting the central zone. Hung and the local team managed this with the minimum of disruption to the group, keeping us well informed and adding alternative activities to compensate. The group cycling was well organised - especially with the original support crew of Quang and Tuan

Our guide Dion was excellent. He was knowledgeable, gave us good information about Vietnam, was supportive and become aware of people’s requirements etc. He was essentially good when flooding became a problem for following the trip plan and quickly made the appropriate arrangements to change the trip plans to make it even better.

Our guide was excellent - well-informed, and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. He also got us quickly and resourcefully out of what could have been a tricky situation in Hoi An when it flooded. A flight to Hanoi and an alternative to our original schedule were quickly arranged, and the 50k pedal around Ninh Binh and a 'Homestay' lunch turned out to be quite the highlight of the trip! Ha Long Bay is ridiculously over-touristed. Nice little boat, great food, but the excursions were rather horrific. could there be a less frenetic alternative?

Inside Vietnam was my first trip to Asia, and I went solo. Explore delivered a fantastic, seamless tour that I literally can't stop raving about. I paid the supplement for a single room which gave me privacy at the end of every day, I highly recommend that. Our tour guide Minh was absolutely fantastic, his knowledge and attentiveness to the group was top notch. All the hotels were of a high quality, the customer service everywhere we went was superb. All the internal transfers flowed effortlessly. I honestly can't praise this tour enough. I've got the bug now! I will definitely use Explore again next year.
