Customer reviews & ratings
The Vietnam 12 day intro tour was such a fantastic experience from beginning to end. I shared so many incredible experiences with an instant group of awesome mates. Some of my highlights include cruising through the towering limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, cycling through the stunning scenery of Ninh Binh and learning how to cook delicious Vietnamese cuisine in Hoi An. Thats just scraping the surface as well. Huge thanks to Adam who was the best group leader we couldve asked for. He is extremely approachable and has an incredible amount of knowledge on all things Vietnamese whether it be history, culture, food and everything in between. Adam always went to the next level to help out and answer any questions we had. For example he helped me with extending my trip to both Cambodia and Thailand.
