Vietnam Small Group Trips

My journey through China and Vietnam was nothing short of amazing. From breathtaking landscapes to rich cultural experiences, every moment was a discovery. In China, I explored ancient wonders and modern marvels, while Vietnam offered me warmth, flavor, and unforgettable trails. Even when my knee gave me trouble, my guide’s kindness turned a challenge into a highlight. And the photos—wow. I came back not just with souvenirs, but with stories, gratitude, and a heart full of adventure." Thank you Tom,Nam and Luan.

Duong was an amazing leader with a wonderful sense of humour. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about his country. He cared about each and every one of us and consistently ensured we were all happy and comfortable with arrangements. He would move the itinerary around to suit us and the weather and also suggested and added other extra trips/experience's he thought we may enjoy. Overall, an excellent leader.

What a wonderful trip. Our tour leader Jackie was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable, well organised and took care of us all so well. Jackie was good humoured and solved anything that came up. The itinerary was full on, but we loved that . The accommodation was mixed some good , some brilliant, the hotel in Ho Chi Minh was a bit ropey. Loved it thanks Jackie

Fast-paced tour of the whole of Vietnam. The organisation was excellent. The hotels were great and many had a pool. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It ticked all the boxes for the must sees of a beautiful country. I can highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this comprehensive tour of Vietnam. Including time in more rural areas as well as the well known cities and sites, it gave us a great insight into local culture and there was plenty of opportunity to meet the locals who were incredibly friendly. The trip ran seemlesly in the extremely capable hands of our tour leader Diem, one of the best we've had (this was our 6th family holiday with Explore). Highlights would include all of the bike rides, exploring Tam Coc caves by boat, Saigon by cyclo, the amazing food, so fresh and plentiful, and the kids loved haggling for bargains in the markets and shops (especially Hoi An). Accommodation and transport were both of a great standard. Well done Explore!

Inside Vietnam was an excellent trip from Hanoi to Saigon via some fabulous locations. The itinerary planned for us to visit iconic locations such as the Imperial citadel in Hue, the Cu Chi tunnels and the Old Quarter in Hanoi. There was also free time for us to explore on our own and add in experiences such as a cooking class. The accommodation was excellent with hotels located centrally. We also enjoyed an overnight train trip on the Reunification express and a fabulous homestay at Ben Tre on the Mekong river. Our guide, Quang, was excellent - keen to talk about Vietnam and willing to answer our questions. His recommendations for locations for evening meals were excellent and we enjoyed trying the different foods of Vietnam which changed as we moved South. This is a fabulous trip which gives you a good insight into Vietnam.
