Itinerary

Vietnam’s vibrancy springs to life on the "Vietnam Explorer"—a 13-day city sightseeing trip crafted for young adults who crave adventure, history, and nightlife. Traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, you’ll experience everything from the glowing lanterns of Hoi An to the legendary caves of Phong Nha and the dramatic cliffs of Halong Bay.

The journey includes an epic overnight boat trip, open-top Jeep rides along the Hai Van Pass, and time to explore Vietnam’s world-famous street food and party scenes. With group accommodation, guided activities, and local transport all included, this tour package ensures every moment is packed with fun and discovery.

The highlight of this trip is its extraordinary diversity—one day you’ll be relaxing on a sleeper bus, the next you’re sipping a beer under the stars on Halong Bay. For those who want a taste of everything Vietnam has to offer, this tour is the ultimate introduction.

Great experience!

I had a great experience exploring Vietnam with Leo as my guide. From the very beginning, he made me feel welcome and was always ready to listen and answer any questions I had along the way. The trip was well-organized, and full of memorable moments. I’m very grateful for the experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Leo to anyone looking for a guide to explore and experience Vietnam:)

Great experience

The Vietnam tour was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Leo, was friendly, well-organized, and very approachable. He made sure everyone felt included and shared interesting insights about the places we visited. The activities were well-balanced, offering a nice mix of adventure and relaxation. One of my Highlights was Halong Bay with the beautiful nature and the beautiful city Hoi An with its cute little shops. Leo’s knowledge of the culture and history really added to the experience. Overall, it was a great tour, and I highly recommend it!

Vietnam Explorer with Lucas

I did the Vietnam Experience with Lucas and it was an amazing tour! He was on time with all the info we needed, super organized and great company to hang out with! Any culture or history questions were answered and we learned lots of things about this amazing country! I really liked how respectful and mindful he was of others. He knew how to deal with the more sensitive people in the group and was super nice to everyone! My highlights of the trip where : Hoi An and Ninh Binh 😊 The activities were so much fun and the views incredible!! Also, despite the rainy weather he made sure we had a great time! I would definitely recommend him to my friends! Thanks Lucas for a great trip!!

Lucas - what a G. Been on a few of these tours and no other guide done as much as Lucas. Absolute gent who made our trip what it was. 10/10 couldn’t fault him. Everything was seamless and any issues were quickly sorted by Lucas. Tour was well organised and varied. Look forward to him visiting the UK where I’ll be waiting for him at the airport. All the best,W

Tour guide- Lucas

Lucas was the best guide we could have asked for. He was genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, caring, authentic, honest. Could not have been a better fit for the group. You will have the best time with Lucas he did his job very well, and then gave more I feel like he went above and beyond for the group, we all got on very well and appreciated his time, knowledge and company, as he was also great fun and just such a nice guy! Gave the group everything they asked for showed us some amazing places and provided us with the knowledge to have such an awesome two week trip.

13 Day Vietnam Explorer Tour Guide Review - Lucas

Lucas is an absolute legend, As soon as we got here he checked we are all good. Me and my girlfriend stupidly managed to leave our hotel room door open on the first night we were out and he rang to check what had happened and checked the room cctv to ensure it was us and no one had gone in and opened our room. We also found that he had been ill with dengue fever just before our trip. Although recovering he didn’t let that affect the trip at all. Alongside that a few days in he had tooth problems also. Could tell he was in pain but he was Always on it. Never let it affect his work ethic or the trip. Despite the whole group checking if he was okay and needed to go get things sorted he cracked on and worked hard. Always Checking everyone was happy and sorted. Made it fun had a good laugh and showed us some horrendous but funny ‘magic tricks’ Its been my first time in Asia longest time away from home and came with my girlfriend who has travelled South America before but even she agreed he made it so easy and welcoming and is just an all round legend. Cheers to Lucas

13 days Vietnam Explorer

Just completed the 13 days Vietnam Tour with our outstanding Guide Lucas. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about his Country, and tried to give us as many information about the history and current situation in Vietnam as possible. Lucas always tried to make sure that everyone had the best time while on Tour, and was available for any questions or needs at all time. I don‘t think that anyone else would have gotten me a better experience as a Guide as Lucas. Thank you! :)

Amazing Vietnam tour

Lucas was a great tour guide! He was really informative and knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history and culture. He was fun, entertaining and helpful and always made sure everyone was having a good time. It was really appreciated that he could communicate with locals and restaurants for us if needed, and always recommend good food places and things to do

Vietnam Explorer with Lucas

Lucas was the most amazing tour guide! He was so good at making sure everyone was comfortable and he did so much extra for everyone whether it be recommendations or organizing additional transport and activities. He also had such great knowledge about everything and he could answer any questions that we had for him. You could tell that he really cared about everyone and the tour wouldn’t have been the same without him. Even though we weren’t able to do some of the activities due to weather conditions it was still such a great experience and I would highly recommend it to others. I will definitely be booking more tours with them in the future.

Amazing trip, good food, good experiences, great tour guide

I just came off the 13 Day Vietnam Explorer Trip. It was an amazing time the mix of free time and activities was perfect but the tour guide Lucas made the trip. His personable demeanour, professionalism and knowledge of all things Vietnam showcased his love for his country and sharing it with travellers.

Vietnam explorer!

This tour was amazing. Very good value for money. From Ho chi min in the south all the way to Hoi an in the north and everywhere in between. Always on the go, as you’d expect, but everything was so organised and seamless. The only thing I’d comment on though, is the short time spent in each place from Hue, to ninh binh and to ha long bay. These were probably the highlights of the country, but we spent it rushing to get to the next place only to stay one night and rush to get to the next place after. They were still amazing experiences but I’d have preferred maybe less time spent in the cities and more time spent in these amazing scenic and fun places.

13 Day Vietnam Explorer

I’ve had the most amazing time, genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. The accommodation, good and activities were excellent but it was made all the more special by our super tour guide Lucas. I cannot rate Lucas highly enough - a true gem!
