Guest reviews from travelers on Local culture tours in and around Hanoi
Wilda Lutz | Traveled in November
I had a great time with my family on this 8-day Northern Vietnam tour. The travel team did a fantastic job organizing the trip. Everything was on time, including the guides and drivers. Our accommodations were well-located, clean, and offered great service. All the places we visited were beautiful and unique in their own way. A special thanks to Lindy for arranging all our requests, checking in every day to ensure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be booking with this team again soon!
Teri K. | Traveled in November
The tour from the beginning to the end was fabulous and action packed. Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are each different in exciting ways. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful and the Vespa ride is not to be missed. Our tour manager Andy was the best. I loved the visits to the farms and homes to make noodles and lunch with them, to see how palm sugar is farmed and made and a dinner with a local family to be blessed. The tuk tuk rides were enjoyable and the markets! Bring money because you will purchase. Very affordable.

There were a rapid fire of exceptional experiences. If I had to pick one, the overnight cruise on Halong Bay would be near the top. Others include: Hanoi Hilton, Saigon at Night, Hero Rats, Bangkok cruise, Angkor What, Chi Chu tunnels, and the overall food experiences. Our Tour Manager put more effort into making a wonderful time than I have ever seen in 12 Collette tours.
Claire S. | Traveled in November
Our tour manager, John Pham, made the adventure exciting. His insight into the 4 countries we visited was outstanding. Every place we visited was insightful and his narrative had us prepared for the visit. Water puppet show, Angar Wat at sunrise, celebrating birthdays, basket boat rides on the Mekong Delta, Chu Chu tunnels, waterfalls, floating markets, temples and the reclining Buddha were just a few of the adventures we experienced. Tour was very different than we imagined.

Due to severity of motorcycle falling on top of me, I am asking for a refund of the trip!!
