    We really enjoyed our Vietnam experience. SaPa to Mekong covered so much of this amazing country. We feel we should have taken more days to do this as there was so much to take in. That was our choice however.

    From Sapa to the Mekong: A Journey Through Vietnam - 12 Days I recently embarked on the unforgettable "From Sapa to the Mekong" 12-day journey through Vietnam, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. One of the highlights of the trip was the Paradise Sails cruise, which exceeded all expectations. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, and their warm smiles made us feel truly welcome. While the food onboard was satisfactory, it was the variety of activities that truly stood out. Kayaking was a breeze to learn, and exploring the Surprise cave was an absolute treat. Although it wasn't the season for squid fishing, the perfect weather during the cruise made up for it. Another highlight of the trip was our visit to Sapa, where we had the opportunity to experience breathtaking trekking adventures. The scenic landscapes and vibrant local culture left us in awe. Hoi An Ancient Town was another enchanting destination on the itinerary, with its historical charm and serene atmosphere. The ancient town truly lived up to its reputation and provided a sense of tranquility that was simply unparalleled. As the journey continued, we made our way to Ho Chi Minh City, where we couldn't resist the allure of the vibrant nightlife. Joining the energetic party scene was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the city's lively culture. Overall, this 12-day journey through Vietnam offered a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and unforgettable experiences. I would like to extend my gratitude to Legend Travel Group for organizing such a well-planned itinerary. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing exceptional service truly made a difference in ensuring a memorable trip. I highly recommend "From Sapa to the Mekong" and Legend Travel Group to anyone seeking an immersive and enriching travel experience in Vietnam. Best regards, Jamie

    We recently went on a tour of Vietnam and the highlight was definitely Halong Bay. The natural beauty of the bay was truly breathtaking and exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and took us on a fantastic boat tour of the bay, where we were able to see the stunning limestone cliffs and enjoy some great local seafood. The rest of the tour was also fantastic, with visits to Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, and other beautiful destinations in Vietnam. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Halong Bay and the rest of Vietnam

    It was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to some of the most stunning destinations in the country. We visited Sapa, Halong Bay, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City, and each place was more beautiful than the last. The natural beauty of Sapa and Halong Bay was truly breathtaking, while Hoi An offered a glimpse into traditional Vietnamese culture and history. Ho Chi Minh City was a great contrast, with its modern and bustling atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the best of what Vietnam has to offer
