    First time visit to Vietnam, we did an 18 day tour. The communication and correspondence I had with Harley, before, during and after our trip was excellent. I felt that I could always reach out to her with whatever concerns I was having. She was especially helpful, Nothing was ever any trouble. She is a credit to the company, with her professionalism, her expertise on the tours. Her kindness and skills make her stand out from other companies. All transfers from airport to hotel were first class. The drivers were always waiting for us at the airport or at our hotel on time. They were always friendly and helpful. We always felt safe and comfortable. The vehicles were excellent. Our transport ran completely smoothly at all times. The tours were comprehensive and mostly with a small group. The guides spoke good English and had very good knowledge of each area.

    We are a group of 4 independent travelers and don't usually use tour companies. However, for our 18 day Vietnam trip from North to South via train, we decided we needed some help with organisation. Ms Daphne was our travel consultant and she arranged tours to our particular requirements to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hue , Hoi An Nha Trang Bay and the Mekong. She also arranged our train tickets which took the worry of arranging these ourselves. The initial service was excellent and willingness to meet our needs. The tours and guides were beyond our expectations. Well done Ms Daphne and Crossing Vietnam Tour . Highly recommended

    I enjoyed every minute of our trip to Vietnam – Lana planned a great itinerary and everything worked like clockwork. The tours were great and all the tour guides and airport transfers were punctual and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for Lana, who was also very helpful in assisting with a visa problem. I loved Vietnam and would recommend Crossing Vietnam Tour to anyone. Thank you Lana for a great holiday!

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      What is the basis of accommodation / tour cost? Twin share / surcharge for third adult in group / single traveller supplement?

    • Crossing Vietnam TourOperatorWritten April 2023

      We are pleased to inform you that it is possible to book additional nights either before or after the scheduled tour dates. We can customize the whole trip based on your requests, and airport transfer will be included in the total price, should you arrive earlier than scheduled. However, any additional accommodation will incur extra costs, and we will inform you of these once we finish designing the package tour for you.

    • Crossing Vietnam TourOperatorWritten April 2023

      The triple room option is available for groups of three, without any additional single supplement costs. However, if any destinations are unavailable for triple room accommodation, a single room will be required and we will inform you of the extra cost. Additionally, you can upgrade to a 4 or 5-star hotel, and we can advise you on suitable options.

    Is a single room etc available?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Crossing Vietnam TourOperatorWritten October 2022

      This tour is only available for 2 or more people. Most double rooms are nearly equal in price to singles. To save money, consider hooking up with a friend or group going the same way. Or, if time is more important than money, book a private tour or even pay a friend's way.
