Hanoi Tours in Winter

Excellent tour with Explore where hotels are picked for location rather than 5 star ratings, giving you easy access to the location’s sights & attractions. Binh our tour leader was fantastic sharing real insights into Vietnam & its people, organising meals together in great restaurants we would never have found. The group size was 16 which was a good number to manage & we were fortunate to travel with lovely likeminded people. This is our 4th Explore trip & having tried other companies we’ve found that no one compares to them.

My friend introduced me to this tour operator. After speaking with Kiara, we had a suitable itinerary. Our mission was straightforward: book a round-way ticket to Vietnam and enjoy the trip. They coordinated really efficiently and provided competent services. There are no mistakes on the tour, which I enjoyed. All of the hotels were in central locations, making it easy for us to walk about or find local restaurants. The daily trips were scheduled on time, and transportation was comfortable. We traveled from the north to the south of Vietnam. Visiting many famous and beautiful sights, including Hanoi, Halong Bay, Pu Luong, the Golden Bridge, Ho Chi Minh, and the Mekong Delta. This was indeed a fantastic tour.

did the 21 day vietnam and cambodia tour and it was incredible ! great way to travel with no stress with a great mix of activities ! whole experience was made better by my amazing group leader Bela who was so knowledgeable and made the tour unforgettable :)

We have just returned from this amazing trip. Vietnam certainly lived up to and possibly exceeded our expectations. Vietnam is such a beautiful country - a true feast for the senses, so vibrant and joyful. The Vietnamese people are truly warm, friendly and engaging. The cycling landscape was very varied through some busy towns, quiet villages, breathtaking scenery and alongside endless rice fields. The organisation of this trip was truly remarkable thanks to the professional skills of our group leader Son. He absolutely is the best group leader we have ever met on our trips. Unfortunately, I had an accident half way through the holiday but I have nothing but praise for our wonderful leader Son. He showed such professionalism alongside care, support and empathy, as did all the support team - Lee the mechanic, Tee and Saow our driver. I could not fault any of the team and I felt so lucky to have the love and support of the group members. The accident did not ruin my trip. I feel so blessed to have seen so much of this beautiful country. 
Our hotel rooms were fantastic with available conditioning and a swimming pool available in most of them .
Whale Island was beautiful. The overnight train was an interesting experience and Halong Bay at the end was beautiful.

Great experience with Explore on 14 day visit to Vietnam. Everything went smoothly and most of the major sites were visited, Excellent guide and lots of fun on the trip. My knowledge about Vietnam has increased immensely.

Cycling from Saigon to Hanoi allowed us to experience the stunning landscapes such a Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hué, lush paddy fields as well as quaint villages. Pedalling through the villages enabled us to experience first hand the friendliness of locals. How can we forget the delicious food we had everyday during the whole trip!
