Amazing Vietnam - I just got back from a trip to Vietnam with a group of friends, and it was hands-down one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we landed, everything was handled perfectly, but the real highlight of the trip was our incredible tour guides, Mina and Stella.

A memorable day - We had a wonderful time during our tour with Brother. He not only took us to the historical places but he also provided the historical background so we can fully appreciate what we're seeing. The visit to Hoa Lo Prison was very moving and unforgettable!

Hanoi City: Missed half of the important landmarks - Lily travels booked us with a dirty hotel. The sink and pipes were leaking, some rooms had cockroaches, and their wifi barely connects.
For the tour itself, they skipped majority of our tour (Ho Chi Minh Complex to see the grandfathers resting place). They also booked us boating tours in Trang An. We travelled 2 hours to get there just for them to turn us down because of Lunar New Year and congestion, even though we booked the tour MONTHS in advance. LNY happens every year, if this was an issue, we shouldn’t have been given an option to book the boat around this time. We were not informed of any changes either, and were left to skip half our tour. Mind you, we were 35 people in one bus. Imagine how disappointed we were.
We are dissatisfied with the money we paid. Majority of the tour was sitting in a bus and stopping for food.
On the positive side, our tour guide Tim was great! But I would recommend booking elsewhere, or planning your own tour of the city!
