Budget Tours & Trips to Vietnam Reviews
- Vietnam Best Deal In 10 Days
Always on time for everything…..airport pick up/departures. 90% happy with the hotels, it would of been 100% except for the hotel in Ho Chi Min
Great way to explore and see the beauty of Vietnam from South to North.
Vietnam Classic 12 Day - One Life Adventures
I really enjoyed the tour and had such a good time over the 12 days. The group was a really nice mix of ages and everyone got on well, which made the whole experience even better. Ryan and Logan were great tour guides and always around if anyone needed help or had questions. They definitely went above and beyond to make the trip special and made everything feel really easy and well organised. I liked that the tour gave a good mix of city life and countryside experiences. Hanoi was probably my favourite place, and the Mekong Delta homestay was one of the most memorable parts of the trip for me. You fit a lot into the 12 days, so I think it’s a really good option if you want to get a feel for Vietnam before doing more solo travelling or travelling with friends afterwards. Overall I’d definitely recommend it.
