Vietnam North 10 days

Vietnam North was an amazing tour. My friends put me off going to Vietnam but I'm so glad I went anyway! I previously went to Cambodia and much preferred Vietnam.

I was a solo traveler and found it very easy to make friends, especially through all the fun activities you do together.

The cooking class was one of my favorite activities, the food was so tasty, my other favorite activity was Jeep Tour on Hai Van Pass

I was worried about accommodation as I had never travelled as a ‘back packer’ but actually the accommodation was great, nothing like the horror stories you hear of some people traveling.

Our tour guide Papsii made the tour very enjoyable. He is very fun and professional. He always had us laughing.

Overall this was a great tour and I would really recommend it.

Vietnam north

Great mix of high and low Days. It’s good to have a mix of party and chill days. Transport can be rough sometimes because of the weather/humidity.
Side note miss ten homestay was very accommodating in Hoi An.
Papsii was the perfect tour guide always going above and beyond to make sure everyone got what they need and also very approachable.
Group get along really well and there was no animosity as the group got smaller.
Especially what was great were the cave tour where we went ziplining, caving in mud spa and kayaking. Maybe a little biased but as the inly man on the tour i had my own room for most of the tour was which great, even then the accomodation seem much better than what we'd get from hostels!
Overall great tour with excellent guide, people and feelings.

Loved it

Really good experience with great people and amazing activities and things to do. Get to explore all the best parts of vietnam which is well organised and always enjoyable. You go to lost of ibtetesting places from cities to small towbs which was great to see all areas of vietnam. There is a bit of travelling around in transport which can be quite tiring but its all part of the experience and looking back it wasnt that bad after all. Good mix of enjoying yourself on nights out and having adventures and learning about Vietnam itself. Also had an amazing tour guide, Edna, who was very helpful aand always put others before herself. She was always making sure we were well organised but also enjoying ourselves too. Alltogrther a great trip with lots of memories and experiences to hold. Cheers!

Vietnam North Tour

I had a great experience on this Vietnam North Tour. The itinerary was so much fun with a mixture of cultural and fun water sports activities. We stayed is good accommodation close to local amenities which was clean and safe. With lots of activities to do and free time to explore I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to venture out into the unknown and just have lots of fun in an amazing place. Our tour guide was local so she has great expertise knowledge of everywhere we went and was very helpful and made the experience all the more better. The itinerary was great which meant you always had activities to do and was never short of having fun. Food was provided in certain places which was great and also had the chance to do cooking classes among other fun things to do. Castaways island was an amazing experience having no access to WiFi or the outside world for these days was great. It topped off what was a brilliant trip and one that made me want to stay even longer!!

What would you improve about this program?
Personally myself I love water sports and activities so I would have liked to have done more water based activities like snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking and scuba diving etc but take nothing away the tour was great
