Recently wrapped up the Vietnam tour with Backpacking Tours, and I have to say, it surpassed my expectations! The organisation was top-notch, and our guide, Huy, was outstanding. His passion for his country and his job made our experiences all the more rich and enjoyable. Every location was packed with charm and history, and the accommodations were splendid. Definitely a high-quality, high-fun trip!

Amazing adventure in Vietnam! Huy was our guide and he went above and beyond to make sure we experienced everything Vietnam has to offer. From bustling city markets to serene river cruises, every detail was perfectly organized. The tour itself was of the highest quality, with great accommodation and transport arrangements. Can't recommend enough!
