What people love about Vietnam Tours for Seniors
- Awesome Northern Vietnam Tour To Hanoi – Halong – Ninh Binh
Great for Families Traveling as a family of four with two teens, we were a bit nervous about doing a tour, but Viet Long Travel made it so enjoyable. Their Awesome Northern Vietnam Tour was exactly what we needed: engaging for the kids and relaxing for us. In Hanoi, we learned a lot at the Temple of Literature and enjoyed the street food walking tour. Halong Bay was everyone’s favorite — kayaking through caves and sleeping on a quiet bay under the stars. Then in Ninh Binh, the bike ride through the countryside and the visit to Hoa Lu ancient capital gave us a real taste of rural Vietnam. Viet Long Travel was so responsive and flexible with small requests. The guides were patient, informative, and always made sure the kids were enjoying themselves too. This tour was the highlight of our Southeast Asia trip. Highly recommend for families looking to explore the beauty and culture of Vietnam together!
- Magnificent Vietnam Tour From Saigon To Hanoi
My husband and I joined the Magnificent Vietnam 11-day tour, and it was the highlight of our travels in Asia. We loved the variety of activities: exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels, strolling through the ancient town of Hoi An, cruising along Halong Bay, and wandering Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Mr. Minh, our guide, was outstanding—so knowledgeable and patient, always ready to share stories that brought Vietnam’s history and culture to life. The pace was just right, giving us time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. We left with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation for Vietnam.
Tour was fantastic with many included World Heritage sights !
