Amazing 14 days tour of Vietnam. We recently were fortunate enough to do Vietnam for 14 days. From initial inquiries to the completion of the tour, everything went so smoothly. All queries were responded quickly and efficiently by email before we left, and once we were there, we were impressed with how smoothly everything went. All transfers and tours were organized, and we were very happy with the tour guides and drivers, all hotels were excellent. The beautiful scenery of the mountains in Vietnam impressed us a lot. We even received an upgrade in Hoi An as our original accommodation was under maintenance.
Donna W. | Traveled in April
This is an excellent itinerary for first-time travelers to Vietnam. Initially, I assumed that the itinerary was too tight and that we would not have enough time to adequately explore all of the locations we visited, but this was not the case. We were overjoyed and pleased with everything we saw, ate, drunk, and relaxed while on this trip:) Sapa was especially peaceful. Hoi An was highly suggested as a place to stay as well as a city to buy souvenirs and eat/drink.
Susan S. | Traveled in March
This tour met all of our expectations! All of our requirements, from the destinations to the services, hotel arrangements, and guides, were perfectly taken care of. Evelyn was our lovely travel consultant and provided us with helpful details, tips, and kept the communication line open throughout our trip. It was really nice to have the chance to meet her in Hanoi, and thank you for the thoughtful gift. Highly recommend.
