Classic Vietnam Explorer Traveller Reviews

We did a 9 day trip to Vietnam covering Cu Chi tunnels; Saigon highlights, Mekong Delta and Coastal beach

Experience Travel Group - excellent at providing a suitable itinerary for duration of visit; selecting wonderful hotels and having local partners who maintain the high levels of quality and service in country.

Wonderful trip to Vietnam for a special celebration. Visited Hanoi - incredible city, it's an adventure just crossing the road! Hue - surprisingly beautiful city with lovely walks along the Perfume River Halong and Bai Tu Long Bay - simply magical, it's like being on a film set! Hoi An - great beaches and great tailors!! Vietnam - lovely people, safe to walk anywhere, food to die for!

Came up with an almost perfect itinerary, even having to move the whole holiday forward 12 months due to my wife's serious illness. Definitely recommend Experience Travel Group

My daughter and I travelled from Canada to Vietnam for a 2 week graduation trip last summer. We flew into Ho Chi Minh, to Hanoi and Hoi An. Highlights were the street food and bicycle tour in Hanoi, the My Son and Vespa tours in Hoi An and the temples and Cao Dei Church in Ho Chi Minh.

ETG designed the perfect combination of activities for us. The tour guides (Nguyen, Andy and Tran) in Vietnam were superb and provided us with history and cultural insights that we would not have otherwise gained travelling on our own. I have already recommended ETG to several friends and would definitely travel with them again.

First visit to Vietnam. stayed in Hue, Phong Nha national park and Hoi An. Great combination of city and cultural stay in Hue, jungle trek and caves in Phong Nha, and beach and ancient town experience at Hoi An.

Experience Travel Group delivered a tailor made trip which gave us exactly what we had envisaged, if not more. Our consultant was always ready to help, and really listened to what we wanted from our trip.

We spent just over two weeks exploring Vietnam, starting in Hanoi in the north and ending in Saigon. All the arrangements we made before leaving the UK worked perfectly and all our homework together with Experience Travel paid off so that we were not that surprised by anything! A great holiday.

We have used Experience Travel to help us organise three trips now. One to Laos, the second to Sri Lanka and most recently to Vietnam. They are extremely helpful and , as the name implies, experienced. I would recommend them to anyone reading this.

Experience Travel Group (James) really delivered on this holiday. We already knew the places that we wanted to visit in Vietnam but didn't know how all of it would be feasible in the 10 days that we planned to be there. An itinerary was sent to me within 24 hours of my initial phone call which included everything, and more, that we had requested. It included what proved to be amazing hotels; personal tour guides and drivers (which meant we could spend as long or as little time as we wanted at various places, and could get real and personal levels of information from our guides through spending time with them); and transfer information. Closer to departure date we received very useful summary information on weather, dress, food, tipping etc, and links to an App which gave us all our holiday details and information on our phones. During this holiday we feel that we have experienced Vietnam to understand the culture, ethnic groups, influences on architecture, food and varied landscapes to get a good flavour of the country and it's people. We would thoroughly recommend Vietnam as a holiday destination and suggest that a visit to a good cookery school is a must while you're there!

Excellent company which we couldn't fault. See comments above.

We were a big family group (15 members from grand parents to one year old baby! % of us had to go back to Europe on Jan 2nd). We arrived in Saigon after a 8 days cruise on the Jahan (previously booked through an other agency)... It was hard to match the perfection of our trip so far, but Experience Travel managed to make us really enjoy also the second half of our tour.

very nice and attentive and, most importantly, flexible and ready to change plans and act accordingly to some last minute changes.

We saw nearly all of Vietnam from top to bottom in a 2 week tour devised specially for us. We went to the less crowded areas and saw a great variety of sights from ancient temples and monuments; vibrant cities; bustling small towns; fabulous mountain and countryside scenery; luxury cruise on Halong bay; beautiful beaches and an eco-adventure in the Mekong Delta where we got up close and personal to local life. We travelled by car, in boats of all sizes and types and even by bike. The small, friendly hotels chosen for us by our operator were excellent and close to the sights. The tours were well organised and usually just for the 2 of us. This meant that we saved time by not having to wait for others and so we were able to see more. Many of the tours were adjusted en route to suit us. Our guides were mostly excellent.

James from Experience Travel talked to us in detail about our interests and wishes, before proposing a holiday designed especially for us (a retired couple). The holiday was truly 'made to measure' and suited us perfectly. Having a personal consultant made a big difference. The arrangements made by Experience Travel were all efficient and well organised. They gave us a lot of information in advance, which was very helpful as we had not been to Vietnam before.

I was lucky enough to take a foodie tour of Vietnam with my daughter. The hotels and travel arrangements were excellent and the tours were unbelievable. I have to mention the street food tour in Hanoi, Ms Vy's cookery school in Hoi An, and the vespa tour in Ho Chi Min as unforgettable.

From start to finish Experience Travel communicated well and met my needs. I would highly recommend them.

We spent 16 nights in Vietnam, visiting Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh. We loved every place we stayed, they were all special in their own way. The tour went very smoothly, with knowledgeable guides and some great excursions. Special shout out to the Street Food Tour in Hanoi, the Red Bridge Cookery School in Hoi An and the vespa tour with Vespa Adventures in Ho Chi Minh

Efficient, knowledgeable, recommended excellent tours and was happy to revisit the itinerary for us when we needed to change it. They also sorted the Visa on Arrival process for us which worked well
