This tour met all of our expectations! All of our requirements, from the destinations to the services, hotel arrangements, and guides, were perfectly taken care of. Evelyn was our lovely travel consultant and provided us with helpful details, tips, and kept the communication line open throughout our trip.

This was a wonderful, varied trip with a good mixture of culture, beautiful scenery, activities and history, both ancient and soberingly more recent. Our guide Binh was fantastic; funny, kind, patient and very knowledgeable, he was a highlight of our trip. The accommodation was all very comfortable and the food was amazing. As a vegetarian, travel can be tricky, but there were lots of delicious options. I highly recommend this trip for the first time visitor to Vietnam.
