Budget Tours & Trips to Vietnam Reviews
We had a fantastic time on the Vietnam Best Deal in 10 Days tour. The itinerary was inspiring and well organised, and each of the tour guides was helpful, knowledgeable, and made every day enjoyable. Although the people in the tour groups changed daily, this actually added to the experience as we met a wide variety of people along the way, But travelling with a few familiar faces also made it especially enjoyable. The overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay was a highlight. Adding Ba Na Hills to the itinerary was a great decision, we especially liked the 3D movies and the roller coster. We travelled from north to south; however, in hindsight, we would consider going south to north next time. Starting with the War Museum would have given us a deeper understanding of the country’s history earlier in the trip, followed by a more relaxing finish. The tour is best suited to adults, and we would have appreciated an extra day in Hoi An to explore further. Communication was good, with pick-up times provided the night before each activity the next day, and all hotels were clean and comfortable. Overall, we had an amazing experience, would highly recommend this tour to others.

- Seven Days Discover Real Charm North Vietnam
This was a well organised tour that covered several of the main tourist sites of North Vietnam in a relatively short period of time. The hiking and homestay with a H'mong guide in the Sapa region was a highlight.
I did the 12 day Vietnam tour and had a great time overall. The itinerary has a good mix of highlights, local food stops and free time. The guide was organised with buses, trains, hotel check ins which were all sorted in the background and I didnt need to stress. I recommend this tour if you want to see Vietnam in a short time without having to plan it yourself.
