Our tour was top-notch! Every detail was curated and any issues we ran into was resolved promptly. We are a group of ladies on a girls trip and we felt very safe and well taken care of. Oue tour guides were great at adjusting the tour based on what we wanted or liked to do. The tour operator was very communicative and friendly. I highly recommend this tour company!! 5 stars!

This is a wonderful tour package. I have been to Saigon before, but never visited such wonderful locations like Ba'Vi, Ninh Binh, or a place as amazing as Luang Prabang. I travelled with my Dad, and both of us enyoed our time very much. The itinerary of locations was impressive- as we've seen the main sights, and those that many miss because they do not know it's there. I was a little hesitant at first, but the tour guides and the locations that Seb selected for us have made me see that my worries were entirely unwarranted. I will go as far to say that I can't wait to get back to Hoi An, Hanoi, Siem Reap or Luang Prabang. I will remember these places for a long time. We brought some souvenirs back sure, but the stories that we have to tell are probably more valuable. Drinking with Rice Wine makers in Ba'Vi, Ziplining above waterfalls in Luang Prabang, and taking a speed boat and a slowboat on the mysterious Mekong River were some of the highlights that I will enjoy rambling over with my friends.Point is, we really enjoyed our time and the tour operator was checking in constantly to make sure that was the case. Thank you all, I can't but recommend this tour.
