Vietnam Tours and Trips

A full on 2week trip taking in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, HCM City (Saigon), Pnomh Penh and Siem Riep. Travel is mostly by minibus which was fine mostly. An overnight 16 hr train trip from Hanoi to Da Nang was not great-very uncomfortable bed and noisy. Very little sleep. Second train journey from Da Nang to Saigon has been replaced in the itinerary with a flight which was much better. Accommodation was very good mostly and in a couple of places, excellent. Our tour guide, Quang, was outstanding combining knowledge with humour and great attention to detail. Overall, a brilliant trip which would certainly recommend to others.

Our Guide, Quang, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, kind, with a great sense of humour. He took us to some great restaurants, often arranging for a set menu where we could taste a range of local foods, which were delicious. We were lucky with the weather, only being out in the rain once, but Hoi An was badly flooded 2 weeks before we got there, and inundated again a few days after we left. What resilient people! They just clean up and carry on. Hoi An was beautiful, and I enjoyed a lantern making class with my travel buddy. The overnight train ride was an experience. I didn't get much sleep, and the bunks are narrow and hard. Learning about the difficult history of both countries is sobering, but I felt it important to delve into this, to better appreciate how far both countries have developed. Go to visit the Hero Rats at Apopo in Siem Reap if you have time! The trip notes are pretty accurate, so read them carefully to ensure the trip is to your taste.

This trip was a good balance between cycling, transfers and sight seeing. Do Chi Hung our guide shared much about the history of the country and the sites visited on the trip gave a flavour of the different phases of Vietnam's history. Our itinerary had to be changed due to typhoon hitting the central zone. Hung and the local team managed this with the minimum of disruption to the group, keeping us well informed and adding alternative activities to compensate. The group cycling was well organised - especially with the original support crew of Quang and Tuan

I had the most amazing time with some of the coolest people! My tour manager, was excellent and really made sure that we all had a wonderful time despite some unpredictable weather events! also gave us some really good personal recommendations of places to go, things to do and places to eat!

I didn't know Vietnam was such an interesting destination! It has so much fascinating culture and history that surprised us. Our family had a wonderful time on this Vietnam tour. Thank you, Brian, for your amazing support. We would love to see you again soon. Thank you team for making this amazing tour, you organized everything perfectly. We will be back in Vietnam soon definitely going to choose this team.

was an exceptionally amazing guide. He was kind, generous, caring, insightful, well-informed, incredibly well-organized, and a phenomenal resource throughout our trip and time together. He truly made the trip a very special experience for us. Unfortunately, there was one guest on the tour who was incredibly unpleasant in every respect and was particularly abusive to Viet. He dealt with that person as a true professional and as well as any human being possibly could (and certainly much better than I would / could). In summary, the trip was awesome and the company did a great job adjusting the itinerary in reaction to a severe typhoon that hit the center of Vietnam while we were there. I would gladly travel again with Luxury Gold, and in particular I would readily welcome the chance to again have as a guide in the future.
