Ho Chi Minh City Local culture Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Local culture tours in and around Ho Chi Minh City
Molly | Traveled in November
An amazing experience! Vietnam is a beautiful county and contiki is an incredible way to see it! our trip manager was incredible and knowledgeable and often went out of his way to make sure we were all happy and enjoying ourselves (and eating our way through Vietnam!). I would recommend this trip to anyone as it covers the cities, land and seas in an incredible country - for a low cost. The ‘budget’ hotels were incredibly of an high standard and often exceeded our expectations. The included activities were incredible - especially the cycling in Hoi A which allowed you to view the city from a different perspective.
Claudia M. | Traveled in October
SO MUCH FUN! got me out of my comfort zone - im not super active but i was walking and riding bikes and kayaking. The food was incredible. The tour has great variety- party, adventure and relaxing. I would 100% recommend this tour and vietnam full stop
Diann K. | Traveled in October
Wonderful experience with a great mix of culture, history, and the people of Vietnam. Scenery was amazing and the Tour Director was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and the optional experience were fabulous.
Jennifer H. | Traveled in September
The tour director *personal details removed by Feefo* was excellent, so knowledgable about history as well as being very personable and thoughtful. Highlights for us include historic Hoi An, Lantern making in Hoi An, Halong Bay the Mekong Delta and the Red Bridge Cooking school. We also really appreciated the Thanh Dong Organic Village and the silk grafting at Van **** Silk Village. Terrific of Trafalgar to support people with disabilities. The farewell dinner at the home of the former American Ambassador was also special.
Max S | Traveled in August
I would start ranting for hours. This trip was truly meaningful as it had so many layers. From enjoying the beach to learning about the sad history and reality of Cambodian "politics", it was a rollercoaster of emotions. I also think that it was the mix of our group combined with our best CEO Dolla, that made the trip so fruitful.
Emily K | Traveled in August
I was nervous going into the tour as it was my first group trip but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dolla was incredible and really brought the group together! I feel like I have memories and friends to last a lifetime!
