"I began the first 12 days of my Vietnam at a glance on June 29 2022, and I can't say enough good things about it. The journey to Halong Bay was one of the highlights of the program, which included both activities on the beach and on the boat. Another of my highlights was the time I spent in the local home in Hoian—a it's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that everyone should try! The people I met and traveled with, as well as our group leader Jake, made everything even better (or Mr Epic as he likes to call himself). Jake made sure the vacation went smoothly and has huge knowledge wherever we went! Even when we arive at Hanoi, he made sure to assist us in crossing the street (believe me, it's a lot harder than you might think). I was very looking forward to learning more about Vietnamese cuisine and culture, and it did not dissapoint. I had a memorable journey and highly recommend if you are searching a tour to glance at Vietnam."

"I traveled to Vietnam in Sep with my family. Since we can't decide which to go, we booked this tour to have a glance at each place in Vietnam. It turned out to be quite short to explore each city thoroughly. We spent a few days in Hoian but still haven't visit all the fun places there. ANd HCM was quiete rush. Anyway, if you travel alone I guess it will be losen a bit. Hope my reviews help someone."

it said "a glance" but to me, this tour is enough to see how beautiful Vietnam is

"We saw most of the best places in Vietnam, especially Hoian - a place that I will return if I visit vietnam again. I wonder why Vietnam has so many beautiful sites and why their cuisine are so tasty. The overall quality of the tour was good, the staff are nice, accomodation on point and transport comfortable though a lil late due to crazy traffic. So overall we highly recommend this."
