Budget Tours & Trips to Vietnam Reviews
- Essential Vietnam (including Cat Ba Island)
We had a terrific guide Binh Bui Van who was very thorough and looked after our group of ten 24/7, We did the trip from Hanoi to the Mekong delta and it was an adventure from day one, Binh explained the history and culture of Vietnam as we went along, we did planes,trains,boats,trekking,bikes, motorbikes kayaks,ate delicious foods and mete a lot of very friendly locals all the time watched over by our guide Binh, He organised us from day one so we had no waiting around going from hotel to a bus or taxi to our next destination, I am 71 and my wife 61 and found no problem doing this trip,which included a 14 km walk to a village in the mountains for a homestay, brilliant. Thank you Binh.
- Vietnam Best Deal In 10 Days
It was a wonderful experience with good value for money. Our manager Lucy was regularly in touch with us to coordinate the trip, and we even had time to meet with her in Hanoi. We had different guides at each location, and all of them were very professional. We enjoyed the most our time in Ho Chi Minh, it is a modern city, and there are many things to do there after the tours. Would 100% recommend.
- Vietnam Classic Tour in 9 Days
We had such a great time. Every day was somthing new! Our coordinator was in contact with me everyday always available to answer all my questions. I’d recommend them
