Although the itinerary was excellent it was somewhat marred by road conditions - slow progress through roadworks and excessive dust. We had the same driver for the whole tour and he was excellent. Our guide was generally very good but sometimes things did get lost in translation. It wasn’t listed in the itinerary but 3 of us did the brewery tour which was a short walk from the Riverside Resort. The beer and the tour were excellent Bandipur was a total delight even though it was very cold.

This is a great trip with a varied itinerary that gives you a good taste of Vietnam. Our tour leader Tien was amazing, always on top of things and making sure we had the best time. The hotels were all very nice, although the sheraton and sofitel were a little bland in the scheme of things. Would definitely recommend the trip and do another upgraded trip with explore.

And Clare was so thoughtful. I am a vegetarian and she always checked in to make sure I got my meals taken care of. Thank you guys!

This trip was amazing - the only thing I would change is doing a longer trip like the Northern Choice. The group becomes so close so fast that it’s hard to leave after 5 days when everyone else is there for another week or two (massive FOMO). The activities were so worth the add on and everything was so organised. Our trip manager was super nice and set good vibes. We were out each night but definitely no pressure for those who wanted an easy night. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Very well thought out and packed itinerary, made possible by the wonderful travel director, coach driver, and local specialists. Takes out a lot of the stress of traveling while still leaving a lot of opportunity for you to explore at your own pace if you want.
