We had an amazing time exploring Vietnam and really appreciated how well everything was arranged. The itinerary covered a lot, but we have never felt overwhelmed. Communication was clear throughout, and we always felt looked after. Special thanks to Mie, who made everything easy behind the scenes. Having someone you can trust while traveling in a new country makes a big difference.

This tour was great - included the two things we really wanted to see (the terracotta army and the Hanyangling Museum) and we also got a great lunch and a visit to a local farmer's "cave house" which was an interesting insight into how people live outside the big cities. Michael is a great guide, he speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable about the history and background of the archeological sites. The car was very comfortable with a good driver and plenty of water available. All in all an excellent tour, I highly recommend this if you're visiting Xi'an - you'll have a great time!
