Vietnam Active and outdoor Trips

The trip was well organised and we were well supported at all times . Our tour leader Ky was excellent , he made the experience a once in a lifetime .

Our trip to Bangkok to Saigon with explore and our guide Ky Lee was excellent To see so much of this fascinating place had to be by bikes, and they were the best E-bikes I cannot say enough of our guide Ky and the team He was so knowledgeable, approachable new exactly how to make our experience of our holiday simply the best The hotels, food, itinerary and transporting us around was 5 star Explore has made this holiday for me the best experience I have had And I certainly would recommend them to my friend’s and family To anyone wants an experience of a lifetime, explores the one And Ky no 1 Lucy

Our recent trip was wonderful. We cycled Bangkok to Saigon and had a unique & very memorable experience. Our tour leader was Ky Lee; we were so lucky to have this lovely young man as our guide. He was outstanding in every respect !!

Our guide was excellent - well-informed, and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. He also got us quickly and resourcefully out of what could have been a tricky situation in Hoi An when it flooded. A flight to Hanoi and an alternative to our original schedule were quickly arranged, and the 50k pedal around Ninh Binh and a 'Homestay' lunch turned out to be quite the highlight of the trip! Ha Long Bay is ridiculously over-touristed. Nice little boat, great food, but the excursions were rather horrific. could there be a less frenetic alternative?

Inside Vietnam was my first trip to Asia, and I went solo. Explore delivered a fantastic, seamless tour that I literally can't stop raving about. I paid the supplement for a single room which gave me privacy at the end of every day, I highly recommend that. Our tour guide Minh was absolutely fantastic, his knowledge and attentiveness to the group was top notch. All the hotels were of a high quality, the customer service everywhere we went was superb. All the internal transfers flowed effortlessly. I honestly can't praise this tour enough. I've got the bug now! I will definitely use Explore again next year.

Phenomenal experience travelling through Vietnam 🇻🇳 from top to bottom with our excellent guide “Thin”. We hit gold with an enthusiastic, understanding & knowledgeable local guide. Thin is also a parent to a teenager, so he gets it.. our group was small, which was a fantastic given the hot time of year we traveled end July/Aug… due to UK school holidays.. Thin is a ‘foodie’ so we ate in the most amazing restaurants & no one got sick across the entire trip. He was flexible on the itinerary which was very much appreciated. Everyone we met across the entire country was happy & welcoming. Hotels were very centrally located. Drivers & mini van’s excellent clean & air con. Local tailors, glasses 👓, art - our guide had recommendations & guided us everywhere. We managed the heat better than expected throughout the trip. Hue & Hoi Han are beautiful small towns in central Vietnam French influence everywhere too. Hanoi was a baptism of fire especially crossing the road. All added to the charm. HaLong Bay / the fabulous overnight stay on the junk boat especially with sunrise TaiChi on deck. The beaches were disappointing especially the water.. but heavy tourist traffic is to blame which we contributed too.. Overnight train was clean & smooth albeit long, but safe with other tour groups. Saigon/HCM city is very western and more expensive etc but our hotel was soo central near TimesSq. Mekong Delta is fabulous & the home stay was out of this world with an outdoor shower! Vietnam has so much history, sad times.. the trip includes visits to museums, chi chi tunnels providing an insight into the past wars, eg 2025 marked 50 years since the American War. It’s important we remember those who lost their lives. Highly recommend this trip .. able bodied especially in hot temperatures. Vietnam is thriving & changing.. go before it changes too much.
