Vietnam Adventure

This was a thoroughly wonderful adventure that exceeded my expectations. We had a lovely group of folks to travel with and a fantastic tour leader.

This trip had so many contrasting experiences and enchanting surprises along the way. It was quite a full itinerary but not arduous.

We visited all the best tourist spots and had plenty of free time to explore on our own

One of the best trips I've ever taken. From start to finish, Vietnam is a magical place to visit. The people are so friendly and happy to share their country, culture, food and are sooo kind.

A wonderful trip highlighting all the best of Vietnam has to offer. A great variety of optionals and activities. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend this trip!!

Our guide Nhung worked tirelessly to make sure we caught the right planes, trains and automobiles. We travelled from North to South and saw a marvellous variety of locations and highlights of Vietnamese history. The trip was well organised to alternate active days with quiet days. I would recommend this tour highly.

This trip is classed as "leisurely" and, yes, that's an accurate description in terms of the level of "activity". However, this is a very "busy" trip with some early mornings - but all VERY worthwhile. There is "free time" but there's plenty to do and see in the relevant location. The hotels were all in central locations, enabling us to make the most of free time. The itinerary was diverse - from countryside (our overnight homestay) to 21st century Saigon - and the "noise" of the towns/cities from the ever-present scooters is something to experience! The food was delicious and it was great fun to be "hands-on" with our meal at our homestay. At no time did we feel unsafe; rather, it was a real pleasure to be able to strike up unexpected conversations on a number of occasions during the trip.

I had no idea of the vast array of places, people, sights and sounds. There is something for everyone in Vietnam.

The tour did everything that was promised and so much more. It really brought this beautiful and amazing country to life and gave me a great insight into somewhere of which I previously knew very little. Our tour guide - Nhung - was great and kept us all on track and made everything run as smoothly as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

Overall very well organised, a nice balance between history and cultural experiences, just wish more of the cultural/food experiences were included in the price rather then the historical ones as we had to miss out on some of them due to the additional cost.

A great variation from north to south Vietnam, but well worth all the travelling, as without it you wouldn't get a feel for what Vietnam has gone through and what it has to offer.

The trip benefitted from an amazing bunch of like minded people and a brilliant tour leader. Add to that the backdrop of Vietnam and it couldn’t fail to deliver.

Have never visited South East Asia before and was excited to learn about a new culture. This 14 day trip takes in all the major highlights starting in Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City.

A brilliantly organised trip with plenty of variation and a good balance between rest and exploration. I hadn’t quite imagined just how beautiful and exciting Vietnam would be, and so it exceeded each one of my hopes and expectations for this trip by tenfold. A lot of my praise for this trip can be credited to Nhung, who went above and beyond in her duties.

Cosseted from start to finish. Vietnam was amazing but the trip was made even better by our fabulous tour guide, Anh Vuoung. Hanoi was mad and needs to be experienced to be believed. Ha Long bay lives up to expectations, and despite being warned about lots of steps, the cave was not arduous but was spectacular. The Da Nang Reunification museum was a different take on the ‘American war’ and the spirit of reconciliation was obvious. I’m glad that we did it. Hoi An was amazing too, and very different from other Vietnamese places, a mini Hong Kong with LED coloured lights everywhere. One of my favourite places. The Mekong boat trip was an eye opener, the Vietnamese people are so resourceful and friendly. We had feared that the trip might be a bit too cultural for us, but it was fine, and we enjoyed the visits, and very happy to be educated. We did an optional bike & boat ride, it was a great respite from this town based trip, touring open countryside with a guide, meeting locals and tasting the home made products. No complaints about accommodation at all, nice hotels and lovely home stay - even the overnight rail trip was fine -earplugs essential. I’d recommend this trip wholeheartedly, Exodus delivered for us yet again and their star, Anh was incredible. rn with breezes was a welcome respite from the heat.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip, our guide Anh Vuong ensured every detail was covered and we packed in so much whether it be cultural, gastronomic or memorable experiences. Many additional activities on offer ie. Cooking class, street food tour, cultural island cycle ride to name a few, we believe we had a taste of every aspect of Vietnam life from north to south, contrasting city experiences, rural life and the amazing Mekong Delta and Halong Bay. All hotels were very good and we were welcomed everywhere we went from restaurants to peoples homes and places of work, Anh’s hard work and delightful personality was infectious and appreciated by all. The people of Vietnam have suffered so much yet they hold no ill will and are enthusiastic, warm and welcoming.

From Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh in the south, a our through varying climates and cultures.

A brilliant tour of Vietnam, good company in the small group and an excellent, informative guide. Our first organised trip as have always arranged these ourselves, and we were not disappointed. Exodus staff were helpful from the start when booking the tour, responsive to our questions and staff in Vietnam went the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly. Would recommend and already considering where our next adventure with Exodus might take us.

A really fantastic insight into past and present life in Vietnam. The two week trip is packed full. Sights include temples, pagodas, paddy fields, caves, rivers, beautiful lanterns, war tunnels, war museums and spectacular sea views. Activities include walking, cycling, an overnight train journey, ferry rides, boat trips, including an overnight stay in a cabin, another night at a family Homestay; active participation in demonstrations of making reed mats, rice wine, rice noodles, coconut candy and incense sticks. The sheer volume of traffic and numbers of motorbikes all constantly sounding their horns whilst weaving around each other has to be seen to be believed, yet they are driven in a very non aggressive manner and somehow manage to avoid collisions. Bartering for holiday momentoes is great fun and the food variety is enormous and delicious with something for everyone. (You might well give sticky rice and noodles a miss for a few weeks once you return home!) So much more I could include, but go and find out for yourself, you won’t regret it.
