    The itinerary was good. We got to see a lot! That being said, some improvements could be made. Each segment of the trip had a different guide. When we were "passed off" we didn't always feel like we knew the plan. Things could have been communicated better. There was definitely lack of planning during the Hoi An Express bus transport. Hotels in Vietnam are inexpensive. With the amount that was paid for the tour, the accommodations could have been improved.

    Our tour was fantastic. Communication from start to finish was great. Tour guides were informative and funny. We loved all the little extras that we weren't expecting, the drinks provided, the lunches given, which were beautiful, the day trips were fun and interesting. All the hotels were lovely, except the hotel in Danang which we were informed was an upgrade to a 4 star

    We had a great time on this tour. It was really well organised and all the tour guides we had were amazing. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and were very knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed our time in Hoi An and our guide Abbie was amazing. Highly recommend this tour for anyone travelling to Vietnam for the first time.

      Is the 10 days in Vietnam tour for departure on Aug 1st 2025 available? As a solo traveler, will I join a larger group or is this a personal tour?
