- Marietta· October 16th, 2023My bf and I had a wonderful time in Vietnam. We really didn't think Vietnam was such an interesting place. Even though we only visited the north of the country, the culture and people here are amazing. We hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to return and explore more of this country.Show more

- Argelia· November 15th, 2022My partner and I did a 12-day trip through Bac Ha, Ha Giang, Ba Be lakes, Ninh Binh, and Halong Bay in August. The trip was very detailed and well planned. We got to experience the culture and beauty of each place we visited. We ate delicious local food and took some great hikes. We even visited a cave and took a boat to get an up-close view of a huge waterfall. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Northern Vietnam.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Argelia, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience!
