    · April 8th, 2024
    The worst thing about the tour was the lack of detail supplied before departure. A dated itinerary with the departure hotel name would have been a no brainer, most of the participants were unsure of whether the accomodation after the initial 6pm meeting was included. It was never explained that we would be sharing rooms in hotels,fair enough in homestays but a bit of a surprise for the hotel stays. Also the tipping part of the trip..the guide was asking for around $800 US from the group for tips, surely the hotels and drivers were getting paid ok? I've rarely seen tipping in Vietnam before. Its an American practice that is offensive to Australians. That's a lot of money in Vietnam. Our guide BB was excellent and read the group well, the mix of electric bikes ensured every one kept up,and apart from the last day the pace was brisk and entertaining. The last day was led by the mechanic at a very boring walking pace that no one appreciated. I would recommend the trip but would like to see the above points addressed for future groups.
