What people love about touring Vietnam solo
- Solo-ish Vietnam
The experience was amazing , the size of the group was perfect , the tours were interesting but some of them were unecessary in my opinion . I would have loved more leisure time since the tour was super intense we didn’t get to rest properly nor to have enough amount of sleep . The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is beacause of the two last days that to Mekong delta where there was a lot of travelling for not too much . I would have preferred to just spend a day nearby and go back to Ho Chi Minh and maybe one more day in hue or hoi an . But overall it was An amazing experience and I would travel with G adventure again no doubt about it . Thank you
- Vietnam for Solo Travellers
Everything was very well organised and Threeland did everything they could to help if there was a little hiccup.
This tour was actually a combination of a few smaller tours combined. Each segment I found myself with different people. Initially I was uncertain if I’d made a wise decision as on the first scheduled day of activities, nobody came to pick me up from the hotel. Eventually a lady came and explained/apologised for the situation. The bus had gone without me, traffic problems etc. I was offered some cash to help compensate. Luckily for me I had a free day at the end which I was able to substitute for the initial missed day, so it all worked out. The man in charge (who I’d met the day before)was extremely apologetic & very good with communication at all times....especially when I got nervous about future pick ups! The hotel was a good base to come back to each time in between the overnight trips to Halong Bay & Sapa. Staff here were friendly & looked after luggage while I was away overnight. The boat was quite old looking, but seemed to be the case for most on the bay. It was safe though, food really good & great activities while on this segment of trip. Not too much space around the bed itself to move around. The home stay with the tribal people is very basic and may not be suitable for everyone. If you’re young, energetic & keen to see the simpler side of life then definitely go for it. It is very basic though. Cement floor, hard bed but has a mosquito net & there’s a lightbulb dangling freely from roof. To access the shower you needed to walk down a narrow sloping track which becomes very slippery after the rain. Leaving the place the following day I also nearly slipped down the trails which had become dangerously slick due to heavy rain overnight. The family though are kind & you’ll be fed well. Amazing considering the rudimentary kitchen!! The various guides throughout the different segments of the trip were all very friendly & mostly quite good with their English language skills. In summary I’d say it was good value for money, I’d recommend the trip (despite my initial concerns & the muddle up at the beginning) but suggest that for slightly older travellers (like myself) or those wanting a little more comfort, you should probably consider upgrading to something a bit more luxurious.
