Recent travel review

I had the most wonderful time experiencing Vietnam on this tour! My guides (Long and John) were fabulous in ensuring everyone was looked after 24/7 and getting us from place to place. The pacing and inclusions were great and the accommodations were comfortable and well-located. My only regret is not staying longer! – Ms. Jules
