Caroline | Traveled in October
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.
