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.
I had the best time ever on the Vietnam trip everything was planned beautifully and our tour guide was amazing.
Had an amazing time on the tour in Vietnam, it is an amazing countries and all the locations and activities were really good. Leo was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful throughout the trip.
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:)
Leo was a fantastic guide. Always helping out and attentive to EVERYONE on the trip. He honestly made the trip! I wish all tour guides were like Leo.
We loved Vietnam. It's a country steeped in history, culture, and delicious food. Our guide, Leo, was excellent; he was always on top of everything. Thanks, Leo.
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!
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!!
The trip was unforgettable, had such a great time the tour guide Lucas was brilliant
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
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.
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
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! :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
I have just completed my third tour with this travel specialist. First being Bali in 2017, Mexico last year in 2022 and just now Vietnam in 2023. I don't have a bad word to say about this company! The booking and customer support team are attentive and quick to respond. Each destination's itinerary was thoroughly planned out and ran extremely smoothly. I got to see parts of these countries and did excursions and activities that I wouldn't even know where to begin booking myself! The airport pickup is awesome, you literally just need to arrive at the airport with an open mind and you get spoilt getting shown around these stunning destinations. Their tour guides are second to none - shout out Jurgen (Mexico) & Lucas (Vietnam)! Don't overthink it, just book it! You will have the trip of a life time to remember forever.
Amazing trip. Wasn’t sure how if I would enjoy it but I did. Wish we stayed longer!
Lucas my tour guide was the most accomodating and fun tour guide. I had the most unforgettable experience and made the most amazing friends and memories to last a lifetime.
Out of our 6 weeks of travel, this was far and away the best 2 weeks we had in south-east Asia. Our tour guide Kevin and tour support Seyha were amazing and added so much fun and personality to our experience. Day after day, they amazed us with the knowledge of the culture and amazing attitude. They did an amazing job guiding us on a wonderful Vietnam Explorer tour.
Incredible trip. First time travelling alone without parents and I wouldn’t change a thing. Went to some amazing places and met some amazing people who I will try and continue to stay in touch with!
Really enjoyed Vietnam! Seyha and my group were great, super friendly and helpful. The activities were fun and Vietnam was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this travel specialist!
Vietnam was a great country and Lucas made our trip even better! Everything was so well-planned and smoothly run we had no problems doing anything. Lucas was a great communicator and very informative when visiting tourist attractions and taught us all about the history of Vietnam. On our chill days we were given so many recommendations and options of what to do it was lovely to see parts of Vietnam which weren’t on the itinerary too. Lucas was amazing and helped with onward travel for everyone!! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone.
Just finished the 13 day Vietnam explorer tour, I had an amazing experience, lovely group of people and had a great tour guide Lucas made such an excellent time. He is such a genuine nice tour guide who makes everything fun but at the same time super professional and always told us what the plans for the day were. The accommodation overall was good, some issues but nothing major. The itinerary is perfect way to see all the main points in Vietnam, bike ride in Hoi A was definitely a highlight along with Ninh Binh I wish we had 2 nights there it was beautiful. Everything was well scheduled and on time throughout
I have recently come back from the Vietnam 13 day trip and Lucas was our tour guide. He was the best tour guide and was professional but also had fun with the group! We had the best group and my experience was incredible! The trip may seem expensive at first but of course you are paying for knowledge of the tour guide and safety of being with someone who knows the areas plus being in a group too! All accommodation was pleasant, some amazing, others good, and the experiences and activities included were just so good and authentic! I especially loved the basket boats because it was with locals rather than in a built up touristy area! Would 100% recommend!! And I really hope you get Lucas if you do it… he will make the trip!!!
Sayha was the best tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgable and cared so much to ensure we had a good time. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more which is exactly what we wanted. He was always full of energy and had a great sense of humour all whilst being very professional. We were very lucky to have someone like him leading the way and looking after us.
I have just completed the 17 day vietnam tour and really enjoyed it. Our tour guide Lucas was an amazing tour guide who made every experience enjoyable, and was always in such a happy mood, always lifting the group up with him. Lucas was knowledgeable in his history of Vietnam and made sure the tour ran as smoothly as possible. Will definitely be visiting Vietnam again in the future.
I really enjoyed my time on the Vietnam explorer. Lucas was an incredible tour guide, always happy and positive. Not only was Lucas really fun and entertaining, he also knew a lot about the history of Vietnam and was full of great recommendations for food and nightlife.
I had the best time of my life on tour. So much to do and see. Our tour guide Lucas was brilliant.
