The process from thinking of booking. The help from your booking team. To all the updates and communication, all excellent.
Every part had it's highlights. The history and the knowledge and stories the guide told brought everything to life. Culture, food, and the fact our guide brought us all together made it a trip i will remember for ever.
Anh was an exceptional Leader. Full of extensive knowledge and relevant stories to bring the sites towns and cities to life. Brought the group together and was flexible with all our needs without losing the thread of the trip.
The itinerary and the quality and knowledge of the Exodus tour guide (and any support team) is key. Their skill in organising safe travel, enabling group members to experience and understand the local culture and people is amazing. Activities and addition options (boat rides, street food tours, visits to cultural centres etc) within the tour are well researched for quality and delivery. Recommendations for restaurants and places to visit etc in say a large city are also researched in order that group members are safe and well supported
3 day stay in Hoi An and the afternoon cycle to the countryside with Man (fields, making noodles, visit to rice wine place with veteran, fishing, boat ride at sunset and lanterns) was amazing. Also loved the Street food experience in Hanoi - again very good local guide - Evelyn. The many visits to local restaurants for a local set menu lunch and dinners were all fantastic. The whole itinerary was all good, well thought out and delivered to such a high support standard by Huy the tour guide
Huy made the trip such a fantastic trip from start to finish for everyone.
Trip was inspiring, the people, scenery, chaos of cities…..all adding to a diverse and interesting trip. Lucky to have a small group who became family and an amazing tour guide Manh.
Some of the Temples and waterways on small boats giving moments of calm and peace amidst the Choas. The work ethic of the people and the long hours they put in just to survive whilst maintaining a sense of humour and an incredible sense of family.
Manh Nguyen who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind and who wanted us to have the best time possible. He was caring and looked after group members who were ill or just having an off day. It was also clear that he loved his country and instilled that generous spirit in ourselves. We could not have had a better guide.
Be prepared for the heat and humidity , it can be incredibly draining. Drink a lot of water
Thuong, our guide in Vietnam was excellent and truly the highlight of the whole experience. She was extremely knowledgble and exelled in imparting us with her personal experiences to help us learn more about the Vientnamese culture and history. Her ability to keep a lively crowd interested and engaged demonstrates excellent emotional intelligence. The trip explored a complex country from North to South, giving ample opportunities for each individual to tailor the trip to each individual need (some were interested in more physical acitivites while others prefered to a more peaceful time), We experienced the various means of transport in Vietnam: van, train, boats, canoes, bikes, and in some case rickshaws).
As note, meeting our guide - Thuong, She really was the highlight of the trip. As were the other travelers. There was a great sense of comraderie, in large part by our guide. Of the locations, I ready enjoyed the unique beauty of Ha Long Bay as well as the quaintness (when there fewer tourists) of Hoi An. And of course, the amazing food in Vietnam - the variety, regional diversity and specializations. It's all good!
Thuong was truly the best part of this wonderful experience. Her knowledge of history and culture was presented in such a charming and thoughtful manner. She shared individual stories about her and her family to help the group understand the cultural diversity and history of Vietnam. She provided ample and thorough food and activity options. Responding quickly and accurately to questions about the various options in towns, helping us to individualize the trip to our own needs and abilities.
The tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. The transfers and travel arrangements were very efficient. We loved the accommodation overall and staff were very friendly- the first hotel maybe needs a refresh. Overall we got to see different parts of the country and enjoyed all aspects of the trip and the way it was organised,
Ha Long bay boat trip, the food, insight into the culture of the country and its history
Tam was very good humoured and accommodating. He organised everything very efficiently and kept things running smoothly and involved everyone. We enjoyed his company and his knowledge of Vietnam overall.
Vietnam is a beautiful country and this trip allows you to see, taste, and experience it over a two-week period. I am really glad I did this and will definitely visit again!
We visited during the Vietnamese new year and it was so lovely to see all the vibrant colours of flowers, lights, and lanterns adorning every standing structure and building. The Vietnamese people are so lovely and welcoming!
Trung was outstanding! Very knowledgeable, engaging, patient(!), and took us to some extraordinarily beautiful places (not necessarily on the published itinerary).
It is a packed itinerary so pace yourself! Pack light, pack for the weather, read through the itinerary and trip notes carefully so you budget accordingly. All the advertised extras are worth doing!

A fantastic way to see an awful lot of Vietnam in a short time. The itinerary is full-on but not overwhelming – the Exodus rating of easy/moderate is about right. There’s enough time for chilling and recharging your batteries and no pressure if you want to opt out of any activities. Hotels are generally of a good standard – all clean and comfortable, a few niggles, but nothing too serious. The homestay in the Mekong Delta was more basic but again clean and comfortable. The Vietnamese people are extremely welcoming and hospitable. Overall, an excellent introductory trip.
So many to choose from...sunset on Ha Long Bay, the lanterns of Hoi An, the manic energy of Hanoi and Saigon, the tranquility of Hue, life on the water in the Delta. Vietnam is a beautiful country of great contrasts, where the ancient and modern worlds sit side-by-side. Inspiration is everywhere you look.
Win (aka Tan) was absolutely outstanding. He brought the history and culture of Vietnam vividly to life and has a real passion for what he does. Nothing was too much trouble for him and everything was approached with kindness and good humour. He has a lovely manner that made the whole group feel quickly at ease and was great fun to travel with - we laughed a lot.
Travel as light as you can - there are opportunities along the way to get laundry done overnight, supporting local vendors at the same time. There is a definite climate change as you move south. Hanoi was a bit chilly in the evenings - Saigon is hot and humid. Layering is the way to go and take a lightweight rain jacket. Take a bit of cash if you can to get yourself going - a lot of smaller vendors will prefer it and its helpful to have immediately to hand when you land. ATMs are fine to top yourself up, but look out for bank charges which vary from bank to bank. Credit cards are accepted widely in the cities but vendors often add a surcharge for using a card. Vietnam is great value for money, so even with a surcharge it will still feel like a bargain, but its just worth being aware of.
Great choice of tours and fantastic experience right throughout the whole booking process
Ha Long bay, mekong delta, very friendly people, terrific food, to name but a few!
Huy was not only a fantastic tour guide but a wonderful person as well, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone in the group had the best holiday possible and ensured the health and safety of each individual too which was extremely gratifying.
The trip was very well thought out. We were able to see and experience far more than we expected. Amazing.
Every day was a highlight.
Linh was amazing. Highly organized. He was respectful of each of us in the group. Anticipated our needs and went over and above what would reasonably be expected. I would love to go on a tour with him again.
