- mollyrH1426CE0 contributionsTHE BEST TRIPThe tour was very insightful and well planned. I have a newfound respect for the Vietnamese people and what they had to go through during the war time Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels from Ho Chi Minh City offers a profound insight into Vietnam’s wartime history and showcases the resilience and ingenuity of its people. The tunnels, spanning over 120 miles, served as a strategic underground network during the Vietnam War, complete with living quarters, storage facilities, and even hospitals.Written 25 February 2025
- Discover590933105870 contributionsThe 4-day, 3-night tour of LaosThe 4-day, 3-night tour of Laos was a short but emotional and deeply impressive journey. I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the peaceful atmosphere of the "Million Elephants" country through unique experiences. In Luang Prabang and Vientiane, I admired the ancient beauty of the temples, such as Wat Xieng Thong and Patuxay - symbols of the pride and fighting spirit of the Lao people. Participating in the morning alms-giving ceremony helped me feel more deeply about the spirituality and beauty of Buddhist culture here.Written 25 February 2025

She did our complete trip on Orchid Trendy Cruise. She was just FANTASTIC👌👌👌 In terms of being there for me in every way. She even came to my hotel room to welcome us as she was unable to welcome us onboard the cruise due to her travelling to China during the time we were travelling. She even brought us sweets as a welcome gift💐💐💐 I would recommend using Viator to anyone doing cruises or hotel accommodation etc.Written 21 August 2024

From start to finish the experience was just magical, the cruise was fantastic and the cruise ship was just amazing to be in. Full AC with a superb selection of food and drink. It was also my sons 1st birthday on the cruise and the staff and the team all made it very special for him. Honestly one of the best activities I done in vietnam and well worth it. I have uploaded a picture of my sons birthday cake for you all to enjoy (lol) seriously that was the cake
