      A Magical Experience at Bà Nà Hills
      My mom and I had an unforgettable experience visiting Bà Nà Hills with our guide, Tom. From the moment we arrived, we were mesmerized by the breathtaking scenery, the stunning architecture, and the magical atmosphere of the place. The Golden Bridge was an absolute highlight, offering surreal views despite the misty weather and over crowded tourist. While we wish the skies had been clearer, the dreamy fog only added to the charm in its own way. The entire tour was well-organized, and Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. We also loved exploring the French Village, taking in the stunning landscapes, and enjoying the cable car ride, which was an adventure in itself! Another highlight of our visit was the incredible international buffet. The variety of food options was simply amazing, we were spoiled for choice at lunch! Overall, Bà Nà Hills is a must-visit destination, and we truly appreciate the excellent service from the tour team. Thank you for an amazing trip! Tips: Make sure to check the weather forecast, carry umbrella or rain coats accordingly. I Spent 50k VTD on 1 rain coat today.

      Cruise in the beautiful Halong bay with its incomparabel nature
      Very nice cruise in HaLong bay. Probably the best is to taken the tour from 3days/2 nights. You will enjoy the beautiful nature, the quiet and peaceful surrounding,the magnificant food and drink and the spacy cabine and bed.

      An unforgettable Adventure
      The Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave are breathtaking and absolute must-sees in Vietnam! Thank you for an incredibly fun, well-organized, and inspiring experience. We met wonderful people, learned so much about the region’s history, and had an unforgettable time. A special thanks to Lilly for her engaging explanations and for making the tour so enjoyable. P.S. The lunch was absolutely delicious!

      Well worth the effort.
      We had the max 12 people on our tour but the bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. Our charming guide, Thien, had plenty of very interesting things to say on the way and spoke excellent English. The tour was quite fast-paced but there was sufficient time to take photos and appreciate the truly beautiful sites visited. The 250 steps up to the "heaven" element of marble mountain were very steep and also varied in height making it pretty arduous in the heat. Lunch was relaxing and tasty. Altogether a very enjoyable tour.

      Excellent Day trip to Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island
      Hi Team, All 4 of us really enjoy the trip arranged by your team. So far, we were greeted and welcomed at pick up points. They were punctual and friendly. Cruise trip was exceeded our expectation. Activities were great which filled up perfectly for Day 1 and half of Day 2. Cat Ba Island trip activities guided by tour guide Teddy were excellent. He kept the tour interesting and good command of English. Hotel in Cat Ba Island (Catba View Hotel) was excellent. It's clean and modern. Staff were attentive and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel.

      Great food tour
      Noi is a very nice tourguide. She speaks good English. We loved her! She will pick you up in your hotel together with the tuk tuk driver. You start with delicious fresh springrolls in a local restaurant. Then you drive to a local market en you can try insects, sate or sweet potato balls. After that she will bring you to a shop where they will serve you home made ice from Laos. Finally, you will visit a bakery. In between we stopped at a beautiful square and made fun pictures.

      Cheesy marble mountain
      This place is a tourist trap. A cave with symbols for “hell” - you have to climb down a lot of wet slippery steps. Beware.- it is very cheesy. The to “heaven” - you have to climb a 100 steps to get to the next level- a total of 500 steps. I had no problem climbing the dragon 500 steps in ninh binh- at your pace. But this tour person kept moving like there is a plane to catch. There is an elevator but our tour guide was too cheap to pay for the elevator. Half way up, my back started hurting after 2 back surgery so I came back down. My husband continued; he then called me on WhatsApp and told me the tour ends at a different point and now I am waiting for the driver to pick me up to go to their end the meeting point. If you are older or have some difficulty climbing don’t come here. The steps are narrow and steep. So far this tour is cheap and cheesy.

      The Marble Mountains with Guang Yin.
      Many beautiful temples and gods in the mountains and in the caves. One of the biggest Guang Yin (Lady Buddha) was here. One of the best places to visit !! You will never be regretted !! Must see even if you are not buddhist !!

      Cute little food tour
      This was a cute little food tour, our guide Noi was just adorable! Make sure you request her if you can. We stopped off and did an impromptu walk through the food market because the ice cream shop was closed! But this was an added, unexpected bonus for us. Thanks Noi for showing us around and making this food tour so enjoyable for us.

    We had never joined a group tour before and felt some trepidation about what to expect. We need not have worried at all! Our tour leader, Hà, took us adeptly in hand, helped the group to bond and ensured that we had a wonderful time every day. He offered to take us out each eveni g for a group meal, which was one less thing to worry about. Most meals were banquet style doing it this way, so there was always something good to eat. It was a real luxury to be guided through this amazing country - visiting awe inspiring places and finding out about the people and the culture. All of the included hotels were fine, we chose the essentials tour so knew that we weren't getting fancy hotels - we were delighted with the location, staff and amenities at each of them. The tour is really well planned. The optional extra activities are all excellent - I recommend that you do them all, as they really add that extra something special to the trip. There is free water to fill up your refillable bottles on all the bus journeys, which is a life saver, it was really hot when we visited. The currency you need is Dong, in the south they advertise dual prices with US$, but Dong are best. There are ATM's everywhere to get out local currency. We also bought a local SIM card for our phones, with 4gb data a day and free local calls, we paid VND280, 000 each for these and they worked really well, with data coverage even in the middle of nowhere. Some of our group continued on to Cambodia after the Vietnam tour - we had an extra night in Ho Chi Minh City and thdn flew home with so many fantastic memories. The country, the tour and Intrepid Travel - all highly recommended!

    We really enjoyed our 10 day tour. The group we had were all great fun. Everyone got along. Ages were from late teens to mid 50’s. Jolie (Ngang Nguyen) our guide was fantastic. She spoke great English, was extremely patient and nothing was a problem. Our only suggestion would be (if you’re fussy) is to take a sheet and pillow case as the overnight train is very basic and the sheets are shaken and put straight back on the beds. We also found the last nights accom in Saigon to be not quite up to standard. We forfeited and booked at the Prague Hotel which is in a better area and has a pool.
    Otherwise, couldn’t fault it.

    A good way to visit several cities in just 10 days. Our guide Nam Nguyen was very efficient, helpful and had good English our group size was 16 people from UK and Australia age range 20's to retired couples. All interacted very well. Transport varied from boat, overnight sleeper train and coach. Travel light and leave room in your suitcase for the stop in HoiAn. Suits, dresses and shoes can be custom made overnight.
