We had a fantastic time! All the hotels were excellent, the tours were well-organized, and the guides were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I was traveling with my daughter, and as we're not very experienced travelers, it meant a lot that we always felt safe, supported, and well taken care of throughout the trip.

Vietnam was an amazing and varied place and Explores itinerary managed to pack in a huge variety of scenery, activities and education including places and people I wouldn't have managed to find alone. Long's leadership was brilliant keeping the teenagers engaged and encouraged to try new experiences and food.

A very good travel agency that was able to help us put together this magnificent 14-day holiday in Vietnam. We really appreciated the guides, the walks away from the crowds and the recommended homestays. The agency was available throughout our stay and even allowed us to pick up a
small oversight in a hotel further down the road. Thank you very much, Vietnam Tour!

Spend a night in a waterside resort in the bay and make the most of every sunset, before heading back to Hanoi and indulging in street food.

Halong Bay is incredibly beautiful, Pu Luong has such fascinating natural scenery and culture, and Hanoi with its vibrant atmosphere and people is something I truly loved. The drivers and guides were friendly and fun to hang out with, and I have no complaints about the accommodations. I’m so happy that I chose this travel operator for this trip. I was always supported by the team, who paid attention to every detail and answered my questions quickly, even in the middle of the night. I will definitely use this company for my next trip to Vietnam.
Vietnam’s magic is simply irresistible. From stunning architecture to mouthwatering food, rich history to jaw-dropping landscapes, this Solo-ish adventure serves it all up in one epic 11-day journey. Savour delicious local bites, sail through the emerald waters of Halong Bay on a private boat, and get lost in the charming French colonial streets of Hoi An. With local hosts showing you the real Vietnam behind the scenes, you'll immerse yourself in the culture like never before. And while the trip might last 12 days, the memories will absolutely stay with you forever.
