Perfection

One of the best trips I’ve ever taken. From start to finish, Vietnam is a magical place to visit. The people are so friendly and happy to share their country, culture, food and are sooo kind.

Most Inspirational Moment

Spending the night in the Mekong Delta was amazing. The local family who opened their home were so friendly and genuinely happen to host us, it was so great.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Binh...there are no words to describe how great of a leader he is. His enthusiasm, knowledge, genuine care for his group, and in general everything he is about are great. He is not only an asset to his country, but also to Exodus.

Advice for Potential Travellers

you MUST go on this adventure. Do not hesitate, as it will be a magical experience.

Amazing Adventure through Vietnam

A wonderful trip highlighting all the best of Vietnam has to offer. A great variety of optionals and activities. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend this trip!!

Most Inspirational Moment

All of it! But absolutely loved the overnight boat in Ha Long Bay. The chefs on board were so talented. And it was such an awe-inspiring moment watching the sunset with my lovely group.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Guide Quang was exceptional and made sure the entire tour ran seamlessly. He really did ensure we had the trip of a lifetime!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't forget your mosquito repellent for the Mekong Delta

Excellent

Our guide Nhung worked tirelessly to make sure we caught the right planes, trains and automobiles. We travelled from North to South and saw a marvellous variety of locations and highlights of Vietnamese history. The trip was well organised to alternate active days with quiet days. I would recommend this tour highly.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cu Chi tunnels, the citadel at Hue and Mekong Delta homestay

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nhung was exceptional and kept us well informed and on schedule. She made sure everyone was comfortable with the itinerary we were following.

What an Adventure!

This trip is classed as “leisurely” and, yes, that’s an accurate description in terms of the level of “activity”. However, this is a very “busy” trip with some early mornings – but all VERY worthwhile. There is “free time” but there’s plenty to do and see in the relevant location. The hotels were all in central locations, enabling us to make the most of free time. The itinerary was diverse – from countryside (our overnight homestay) to 21st century Saigon – and the “noise” of the towns/cities from the ever-present scooters is something to experience! The food was delicious and it was great fun to be “hands-on” with our meal at our homestay. At no time did we feel unsafe; rather, it was a real pleasure to be able to strike up unexpected conversations on a number of occasions during the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me there was no single stand-out moment. Such was the variety of this adventure that comparison is meaningless.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Trung is an exceptional group leader and consummate professional. From start to finish, Trung went over and above to ensure that all of us went home not only with memories of an amazing country of such diverse beauty, but also a sound insight into its history and its people - all achieved with superb organisational skills, but above all with a clear love of his country which he conveyed with passion, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and wit. He is truly an asset to Exodus! AND Trung also has a superb voice - if he should ever consider an alternative vocation, then he should be on the stage!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just go! You will not be disappointed!

A trip to another world!

I had no idea of the vast array of places, people, sights and sounds. There is something for everyone in Vietnam.

Most Inspirational Moment

Meeting a water buffalo in a rice field during the countryside excursion. Ha Long Bay is as beautiful as you'd imagine.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Trung, was brilliant! He ensured our group was relaxed from the start, and as a result we were all fast friends. He made sure all food intolerances were catered for, was so organised, knowledgeable and just a lovely, smiley, energetic force. It's impossible to be sad with Trung around.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You'll be able to get laundry done locally twice, maybe more, pack light so you have more space for souvenirs. Hoi An is great for tailor made clothes, shoes and bags. Watch out for the luggage limit on the internal flight. Just take VND rather than dollars, keep it simple. We only exchanged 2 million VND to take with us, but this isn't really a huge amount, on reflection I'd have taken at least five times that amount, although food and drink are incredibly cheap you'll need VND to pay for extra excursions , souvenirs etc. Taxis are readily available and really cheap.

Amazing experience

The tour did everything that was promised and so much more. It really brought this beautiful and amazing country to life and gave me a great insight into somewhere of which I previously knew very little. Our tour guide – Nhung – was great and kept us all on track and made everything run as smoothly as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and being at the homestay.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nhung was excellent - very knowledgeable, accessible and patient!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for the heat and take care when trying to cross the roads in Vietnam - that's a truly terrifying experience! 🤣

Vietnam Adventure

Overall very well organised, a nice balance between history and cultural experiences, just wish more of the cultural/food experiences were included in the price rather then the historical ones as we had to miss out on some of them due to the additional cost.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nhung was amazing, very knowledgeable, experienced and good fun. Dealt with any issues calmly and efficiently. 10 out of 10!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Great experience if you want to see a maximum in a short space of time.

January 2024 - Excellent Trip

A great variation from north to south Vietnam, but well worth all the travelling, as without it you wouldn’t get a feel for what Vietnam has gone through and what it has to offer.

Most Inspirational Moment

All of it, as it was so varied, including the food.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Quang was excellent and obviously devoted to his country and his family. He went the extra mile to ensure we experienced a value for money holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Enjoy the experience. The bunks on the train are uncomfortable, but it was warm enough with just a sleeping bag liner, the toilet was kept clean throughout the night and you do get to sleep.

Fantastic experience

The trip benefitted from an amazing bunch of like minded people and a brilliant tour leader. Add to that the backdrop of Vietnam and it couldn’t fail to deliver.

Most Inspirational Moment

The food! The food was AMAZING. I now love tofu. I never thought I would utter these words….

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tu was the best. He was a great communicator and very funny !

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a lightweight sleeping bag for the train because you will need the quilt to lie on as the beds are rock hard. Laundry is easy to do everywhere.

A new culture

Have never visited South East Asia before and was excited to learn about a new culture. This 14 day trip takes in all the major highlights starting in Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hoi An at night with the lanterns and small boats going up and down the river. Eating with a Vietnamese family in their home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ashley was the perfect group leader. Organised, calm, full of information with a good sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble for her.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It's pretty full on so be prepared for some early starts. Try all the different culinary experiences. Get some clothing handmade in Hoi An! The train from Hanoi to Hue is a bit uncomfortable but embrace the experience!
