This was my first solo trip ever and it was the best trip that I’ve ever been on. From having the best group of girls to the best tour guide ever— it has truly been an amazing experience that I’m not ready to have it end. Ming is the best tour guide and has made this trip so seamless and enjoyable for all of us. She’s prepared, always there to help us and gives the best recommendations. She truly would give the shirt off of her back for any of us and my first solo trip wouldn’t have been this much fun with any other tour guide. I can’t say enough good things about Ming truly. The sweetest soul ever and I’m so happy to have had her as my guide this trip. 🤍

Cycling tour was very short on distances, I thought we could have done more each day without impacting on the itinerary of the visits to places of interest.
Some days I thought that the cycling was done just to fill in gaps

It's my 3rd tour with explore!, and I've enjoyed it very much.
The itinerary was good, and our guide - Diem - was excellent, with a lot of knowledge and good spirit.

This trip exceeded our expectations with its well-balanced itinerary—an amazing mix of cultural landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, and relaxing beach time. The tour guides were insightful and made each stop even more memorable, especially during the Sapa trek. A special thanks to Long Pham, who helped coordinate everything so seamlessly. He kept track of our journey, ensured we were well taken care of, and made sure we had all the support we needed throughout the trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone planning to explore Asia!
