Had an amazing time travelling with truetravels, especially with Leo as my guide for my Vietnam trip, who was always willing to help me out and was very entertaining to be around. Overall I would highly recommend this trip as it had something for everyone to enjoy.

This is an excellent itinerary for first-time travelers to Vietnam. Initially, I assumed that the itinerary was too tight and that we would not have enough time to adequately explore all of the locations we visited, but this was not the case. We were overjoyed and pleased with everything we saw, ate, drunk, and relaxed while on this trip:) Sapa was especially peaceful. Hoi An was highly suggested as a place to stay as well as a city to buy souvenirs and eat/drink.
