This 7 day trip in north Vietnam was mesmerizing, people from homestays were very friendly. My sister and I loved the mountains, cities and learning about Vietnam's culture! Our guide Mike was helpful during the trip whilst leaving us enough freedom to make it the perfect personalized (safe) tour. The only thing that could be improved is that their English level was not as we had expected and it sometimes hindered communication. Thank you for the memories!Show more
