Amazing Experience, best tour guide - Very well managed tour with smooth execution and excellent team. I have booked quite a few tours on my vietnam trip and this by far is most fun, comfortable and detailed. Once your tour date is approaching company rep will contact you but best part is that your allotted tour guide will also contact and introduce himself oneday before. If you are lucky, you will also get Luca (Linh) as your tour guide. He is very detailed oriented, excellent time management, friendly,smiling and a very soft spoken guy.(sometimes tour guides can be very loud iykyk).Request for Luca as your tour guide,leave your travel worries and your trip is all sorted.
The lunch was a buffet with variety of dishes to chose from including vegetarian options (easy for Muslims to eat,though no halal food). The transportating coach was very comfortable,clean, cushioned seats, also single seats on one side of aisle, easy for solo travelers. Overall great experience.
