Our 16-day Thailand and Vietnam tour was absolutely incredible. The trip was very well organized, and everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. We got to experience so many highlights — from exploring Bangkok’s dazzling temples and meeting elephants in Chiang Mai, to cruising through the breathtaking limestone islands of Halong Bay. Hoi An was peaceful and charming, and cycling around the ancient town was one of our favorite moments. The floating market in Can Tho was such a fun and unique way to end the journey. Truly a memorable trip — we would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to see the best of Thailand and Vietnam in one journey!Show more
