I had the best time on this trip everything was so well orginised and Ednas time management skills were on point! The variety of places and things we did and saw were amazing!!! We met amazing people and travelled to amazing places! I can't get over how much we saw in the 17 days! I didn't realise the extent of the history Vietnam has and how beautiful some of the places we stayed were! I found myself happy the whole time because I had no stress as everything is orginised and all I had to do was go along with the plan it was so enjoyable to just be able to relax and enjoy my holiday! Big love to Edna and my new Tru travels family ♥️

Did this tour with a large group of around 15 - our guides, Adam Blackley and Edna Mendoza, were great helps and made sure our trip was smooth as could be. My favorite place was probably Hoi An where we had our cooking class and had the option to get tailor-made suits for cheap (around £80 or so). Also loved the national park where we did caving in the clay caves as well as ziplining with an aerial obstacle course over the river. Would have been nicer to have a few more activities included in the price such as the quad-biking but that's a minor detail. All in all, it was a really great trip and I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone who plans to go to Vietnam and wants an easy-going holiday while still getting to see so much of Vietnam.

The Vietnam explorer tour was a really great way to experience the culture of Vietnam. There was never a boring moment as we were always busy getting involved with the activities organised. It was nice to have the option to take part in extra activities such as quad biking over sand dunes at Mui Ne, this was one of my favourite activities on the trip! I also enjoyed opting to visit Bana Hills, the location and the view from the top is absolutely stunning! The amusement rides at the top of the mountain were also a bonus. I really like the fact there was a mix of visiting party results and a mix of activities which allowed us to get a real taste of Vietnam. Some of the highlights for me was the cooking class, visiting a national park and basket boating. Our team leader Edna really made the trip as well, she’s amazing at her job and always looked out for people in the group ensuring they were having a good time. She was also great at recommending restaurants/shops/bars etc!

I'm actually sad that it's over. Even though I'm moving on travelling elsewhere I'll miss Vietnam, the people on my group, the people I met and wee pinky! Nothing was a problem to her. She always happy to help and couldn't be nicer. Those 17 days were some of the best weeks of my life with different activities in beautiful locations all the length of the country. Hard to pick out personal highlights for me really. All in all had a fantastic experience, great tour guide and touched lucky for a great group of people on the tour with me. It would probably suit all ages this group, no activity is too challenging or difficult. I'm waffling now, need to wrap this up I've 80 characters left. Honestly though, the most beautiful country and wonderful people. Do it.

This 17 day tour of Vietnam was amazing and I will never forget it. My tour guide Pinky was so funny, kind and organised. We started our tour with only 5 people and joined a larger group 1 week in. I remember asking Pinky ‘will we be joining another tour guide?’ And she told me ‘no it’s just me’ - and whether she had 5 guests to organise or 15 it made no difference - it was all equally as fun and well organised which I thought was really impressive. My highlights were the Mui ne sand dunes tour and the hai van pass. Tru travels does not offer ANY animal riding which was such a relief for me - really well done on this. I would love to see this tour include the abandoned water park in Hue which I was sad I missed and the water puppet show in Hanoi which was so unique I thought I couldn’t be missed! My only criticism was the hotel in Ho Chi Minh on our first night was really not very impressive and set a bad first impression. My favourite accommodation was Mui ne.
Thanks pinky for always being upbeat and smiling.

The last 17 days I’ve spent in Vietnam have been some of the best days of my life. I cannot emphasise enough how incredible this country is - the food, the activities, the culture, the scenery, has blown me away. The itinerary is perfect and is filled with so many once in a lifetime experiences which I’ll remember forever. Not only that, but I’ve made a friend for life out of our tour guide Pinky who had a vast knowledge of Vietnam’s history and culture and could answer every question we threw at her. Not only that but she had a wild sense of humour and never failed to have us all in stitches. It was an emotional farewell today but I already know I’ll be back again to visit not only to see more of Vietnam but to see Pinky again! Thank you so much for this experience

I’ve just finished the 17 day Vietnam Explorer with Edna and it was an absolutely brilliant tour! In terms of activities there was a good mix of adrenaline (quad biking, zip lining), cultural (cooking class, imperial city tour) and more chilled out activities (Ninhvana) which meant we did and saw so much in just 17 days. The tour was definitely made by our amazing tour guide Edna who was always so much fun and made sure we got the most out of every day. She always answered our questions, made sure we knew what we were doing and took us to some really great restaurants. Edna was also our personal photographer which meant we got really great photos from the trip!
I would recommend this tour as a great way to see the best parts of Vietnam and have loads of fun along the way!

Translation by Go Overseas staff:

I have had great experiences in Vietnam. It was a unique experience that allowed me to participate in many fun and exciting activities and to explore different cities that I had never seen before.
It was a wonderful mix of activities, city and beaches, nature and culture. I would definitely recommend everything as I loved it every time. There was always something to do and everything was well organized.
On this trip I not only met people from different parts of the world, but also got to know a large group of friends with whom I will definitely stay in touch.
Our Vietnam tour would not have been so exciting, educational and entertaining without Edna. Edna is like a 24-hour sunshine. She always has a smile on her face and jokes around. With her good energy, great knowledge and sense of humor, Edna made the tour even more entertaining and funnier. Edna is a strong and inspiring woman.

Ich habe tolle Erfahrungen in Vietnam erleben können. Es war eine einzigartige Erfahrung, bei der ich an vielen lustigen und aufregenden Aktivitäten teilnehmen und verschiedene Städte erkunden konnte, die ich noch nie zuvor gesehen hatte.
Es war eine wunderbare Mischung aus Aktivitäten, Stadt und Stränden, Natur und Kultur. Ich würde auf jeden Fall alles empfehlen, da ich jedesmal begeistert war. Es gab immer etwas zu tun und alles war gut organisiert.
Auf dieser Reise habe ich nicht nur Menschen aus verschiedenen Regionen der Welt kennengelernt, sondern auch eine große Gruppe von Freunden kennengelernt, mit denen ich definitiv in Kontakt bleiben werde.
Unsere Vietnam-Tour wäre ohne Edna nicht so aufregend, lehrreich und Unterhaltsam geworden. Edna ist wie ein 24 stunden Sonnenschein. Sie hat immer ein Lächeln auf ihr Gesicht und scherzt herum. Mit ihrer guten Energie, ihrem großartigen Wissen und ihrem Sinn für Humor machte Edna die Tour noch unterhaltsamer und lustiger. Edna ist eine starke und inspirierende Frau.
