- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written August 2025
during this Flavors Of Vietnam In 12 Days tour, you will join the group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-16 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have DIFFERENT GROUPS for excursion at each place, but airport pick-up/drop-off and accommodation are private, just join a group on days you have a tour.

Traveler•Written December 2022We would go with the four star hotels which look perfect. If we book with you, we will be booking flights separately at a cost, how do we know your trip in country will go ahead if not many book, or if we book does that mean, the trip in country is guaranteed?
