We booked a 2 week trip to Northern Vietnam with Indochina Voyages.
The experience was great!
Minh Vu, our contact person, did a great job planning our trip. He was always quick to reply and adjust the programme. We started with a rough plan, and following multiple mails and converstations he tailored the plan to our wishes and did some great suggestions, including Lam Binh which ended up being one of our favourite parts of the trip! The planning was super smooth and enjoyable and we can only recommend this service for people wanting to do a custom trip.
During our stay we were accompanied by Dan our guide and Mr Phuong our driver. Mr Phuong drove us safely around in the mountainous areas in the North of Vietnam. Some days we had to cover a lot of distance on not always the best roads, but he always did a great (and safe) job!
Dan was a superb guide. His English was very good and he was funny and ejoyable to hang around. He liked to go ‘off the beaten track’ which led us to visiting a lot of local people ind there houses and really get a very authentic experience. Vietnamese people are so friendly and welcoming! He was also flexible and sometimes changed the plan slightly according to weather or our wishes. We also had lunch and dinner together on most days and he always arranged for very good (and safe) food and made sure we tried a lot of different things, which was a great ‘extra’ experience.
Overall we had an amazing trip in Northern Vietnam and the Indochina Voyages team made planning and executing this trip very easy and trouble free. We will definitely use Indochina Voyages again!
