    I recently went on the Highlights of Vietnam 10 Days tour organized by Travel Sense Asia in March, and I have to say it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, every part of the trip was well-organized and offered a taste of Vietnam's rich culture and stunning landscapes. Firstly, I want to give a special shoutout to our travel consultant, Kurt. He was incredibly helpful from the moment I made my first inquiry. Kurt provided insightful advice on what to pack, shared useful tips on local customs, and ensured that all my questions were answered promptly. His enthusiasm and professionalism truly set the stage for a fantastic trip. The cycling tour around the city was a perfect way to immerse ourselves in the everyday life of Vietnamese people. It was both relaxing and enlightening, allowing us to see the city from a unique perspective. The cruise to Halong Bay was undoubtedly one of the highlights. Being one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Halong Bay did not disappoint. The breathtaking views of the limestone karsts and emerald waters were just as mesmerizing as one would imagine. Visiting Hue City, the ancient capital, was like stepping back in time. The historical significance and architectural beauty were truly captivating. Hoi An Ancient Town, with its charming lantern-lit streets, quickly became one of my favorite destinations in Vietnam. The town’s warm ambiance and well-preserved sites made it a memorable stop. Experiencing the river culture in the Mekong Delta was another unique aspect of the tour. We got to witness the bustling floating markets and interact with local vendors, which was both educational and fun. And of course, no trip to Vietnam would be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Each meal was a culinary adventure, introducing us to the typical flavors of Vietnam that were delightful and diverse. Overall, I cannot recommend Travel Sense Asia enough. Their attention to detail, the expertise of their staff, especially Kurt, and the incredible itinerary made my journey through Vietnam exceptional. If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, choose Travel Sense Asia for a truly enriching travel experience.

    Joining the "Highlights of Vietnam 10 Days" tour organized by Travel Sense Asia was a decision I’ll cherish forever. From the moment we were in touch with our consultant Kurt, our travel journey felt well-guided and promising. Starting with a cycle around the bustling city streets, we got an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of locals, capturing those unseen moments that define the essence of Vietnam. This personal experience set the tone for what turned out to be a diverse and enriching trip. Our cruise to Halong Bay was nothing short of magical. Known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the serene waters and magnificent limestone formations are as captivating in person as they are in pictures. The cruise offered a perfect blend of relaxation and awe-inspiring nature. Moving on to explore Hue City, the ancient capital of Vietnam, we immersed ourselves in the profound history and culture that resonate through its streets and architecture. You could feel the whispers of history in the air as we walked through imperial palaces and royal tombs. Hoi An Ancient Town, a definite highlight, charmed us with its well-preserved structures and vibrant lantern-lit streets. This destination is a perfect blend of history, culture, and shopping, offering a unique atmosphere that lingers in memory long after you leave. Experiencing the river culture in the Mekong Delta was another profoundly enriching experience. From the floating markets to the lush riverbanks, we witnessed a way of life that is both tranquil and industrious. It was a reminder of the deep connection between the Vietnamese people and their waterways. Throughout the tour, we indulged in delicious Vietnamese cuisine, enjoying local dishes that boasted typical flavors and spices distinctive to each region. Every meal was an exploration of the culinary diversity Vietnam has to offer. In conclusion, the "Highlights of Vietnam 10 Days" tour provided a comprehensive view of Vietnam’s natural beauty, cultural depth, and historical significance. Travel Sense Asia, with the guidance of Kurt, made sure every detail was perfect. It’s a trip that not only highlights Vietnam's wonders but also leaves a lasting impression on any traveler. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to truly experience Vietnam.

    I recently embarked on the Vietnam Beach Vacation in 10 Days with Travel Sense Asia, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the tour was meticulously planned, combining moments of relaxation and adventure, perfectly encapsulating the essence of Vietnam. One of the standout experiences was exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels. Walking through these historic passages provided a profound insight into Vietnam's wartime past, making it a moving start to the journey. The Mekong River cruise in Vinh Long was enchanting, offering a glimpse into the vibrant life along its banks, with lush scenery and local culture. The beaches of Whale Island were an absolute paradise. The pristine sands and crystal-clear waters provided the perfect backdrop for unwinding and soaking in the natural beauty. If you're looking for tranquility, this is the place to be. Hanoi, with its rich tapestry of culture and history, was another highlight. The city's blend of ancient traditions and modern vibrancy was captivating, making every exploration worthwhile. The journey culminated with a sail through Ha Long Bay, whose breathtaking scenery of limestone karsts left an indelible mark. A special mention to Kurt, our advisor, whose passion and expertise significantly enhanced our experience. His friendly demeanor and deep knowledge made the trip seamless and more enriching. Overall, Travel Sense Asia crafted a well-balanced itinerary that showcased Vietnam's diverse allure. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply need some beach relaxation, this tour offers something special for every traveler.
