Ho Chi Minh City Cultural, religious and historic sites 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.

The upgraded Vietnam was a great experience. Only some minor issues. The water puppet show was great but I would have preferred one closer to Hanoi. I understand the one in the more rural area was of higher quality. We had so much travel, in hindsight the more commercial one would have been better. Leaving more free time. The Lapis was excellent. I would have preferred a noisier spot in the Old Quarter near the action. Could have used more time in Hoi An. Also could have charging spots on the vans or buses

This tour combines sightseeing and a variety of food experiences ranging from street food, meals with local families, cooking classes and farm visits. It also offers a glimpse into the lives of the locals. This tour is highly recommended! Our guide leader Thin was very knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. For our free time he provided many suggestions as well as offered a list of optional activities that you could sign up for if interested which he would coordinate for the group. This was my first tour with Explore. I had a great experience and will look to Explore when planning my next vacation.

I had the most amazing time with some of the coolest people! My tour manager, was excellent and really made sure that we all had a wonderful time despite some unpredictable weather events! also gave us some really good personal recommendations of places to go, things to do and places to eat!

was an exceptionally amazing guide. He was kind, generous, caring, insightful, well-informed, incredibly well-organized, and a phenomenal resource throughout our trip and time together. He truly made the trip a very special experience for us. Unfortunately, there was one guest on the tour who was incredibly unpleasant in every respect and was particularly abusive to Viet. He dealt with that person as a true professional and as well as any human being possibly could (and certainly much better than I would / could). In summary, the trip was awesome and the company did a great job adjusting the itinerary in reaction to a severe typhoon that hit the center of Vietnam while we were there. I would gladly travel again with Luxury Gold, and in particular I would readily welcome the chance to again have as a guide in the future.
