    Booking this trip a bit late made us concerned about scheduling the tour in such a short period. However, Vietnam Tour Fun nailed it! Overall, the tour was well-balanced with a variety of activities, and I particularly loved the overnight cruise in Halong Bay. I'll be back in Asia next year and will contact you again to arrange my holiday.

    The trip exceeded my expectations and was excellent throughout. The local guides were both beneficial with any issues or questions we had, knowledgeable about the history of sights visited, and very friendly and easy to get on with, making for an informative and enjoyable trip. I thought there was a good balance between organized activities and free time. I also thought there was a good variety of activities.

    We had a fantastic time during this Perfect Vietnam tour. We traveled as a family: my wife, myself, and 2 of our teenage children. Our guides were terrific, and Vietnam was outstanding. The activities were perfectly selected, allowing us to explore the cities, countryside, and beautiful natural spots. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the tour.

    I got amazed by all the local guides. Although they were still young, their proficiency in English and their deep knowledge about the destination made us appreciate Vietnamese people even more. They, along with local people, taught us basic Vietnamese words and let us take a peek into their daily lives, which I found so much interesting. The one in Halong Bay was a very good photographer as she helped us to take wonderful photos to remember that moment. Overall, highly recommend this tour and guides from Vietnam Tour Fun.
