A beautiful experience showing the beauty and nature of Vietnam - We had a wonderful time on our tour!! We got to see some beautiful spots of the northern Vietnam countryside and everywhere we went was simply amazing. Our guide Edward was the best! He is super passionate and has a deep love & pride for Vietnam which is evident in the way he shares the history and knowledge about all the places we visited. Our driver was very nice too. Definitely would recommend booking this tour, you will not be disappointed.
