Visiting Vietnam 🇻🇳 - One of the best experiences and a very complete tour. Totally recommended. Tom is very well prepared, has a lot of knowledge, and that made the tour much more interesting. In addition to providing information and talking about history, he is also an excellent photographer. The timing, the order of the places we visited, and the food were all very well organized. 10 out of 10

Core Memory Experience! - We went on this day trip on our last full day in Hanoi. It was such a wonderful experience. They pick you up directly from your hotel at around 7 am and drop you off after the tour. We started off the trip stopping over a rest stop dedicated to disabled people creating souvenirs and art goods for sale. I am blanking on the name of the locations but we went to a mountain hike next. Very tiring and sweaty but rewarding! Bring water and personal fans and make sure to take breaks. The tour guide informs you of what to expect and let you know of your options based on your physical abilities. Side note: as someone who uses the bathroom often, I appreciated the frequent bathroom rest stops! The tour guides are very well informed and speak in a concise and digestible way. They are also funny! After the hike, we immediately transitioned to a bike ride along the rice paddies and into a historical home. It was super cute and we appreciated learning the history and significance of the house . The lunch was very nice and well needed. It was in an air conditioned room and ice cold water which helps after the sweaty hike prior. After lunch, we went on an hour long scenic boat ride. Then ended the tour at a historical site. This was such a well rounded tour of adventure and history. I often dislike tours as it feels like it’s too much of one thing, however this tour was just right and very efficient. Thank you for sharing your culture and heritage!
