North to South Vietnam tour Traveller Reviews

2 weeks touring Vietnam from north to south then 1 week in Thailand

We knew very little of the countries we intended to visit so relied solely on our adviser at Eastravel in Ipswich to put together an itinerary based around our stated preferences. We couldn't have wished for a better experience which enabled us to see all the major tourist and historic sights in Vietnam and then include our wishes of a visit to the River Kwai Bridge and culminating in a relaxing beach resort for our final few days. All tours and accommodation fully met our expectations.

Although a communist country it certainly doesn't feel like it. People are lovely and there are many places to visit. Don't miss out on the wonderful markets. Downside was the rubbish in the sea and rivers. Hotels excellent. Roads and traffic are as you would expect in a third world country. Crossing the road was interesting to say the least! We visited three cities - all very different but interesting in their own way. (Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An)

Wonderful service and holiday tailor made for us. We could not have asked for more. Itinerary was interesting and varied; and everything ran smoothly. We had our own private driver and guide for each part of the trip and they were all very helpful and informative, Information and helpful tips were given to us before we went. Thank you.

EASTRAVEL PUT TOGETHER A VERY GOOD TAILOR MADE PACKAGE GIVING US GOOD ACCOMMODATION IN THE RIGHT LOCATIONS AND THE RIGHT LEVEL OF GUIDED TOURS TO COVER THE DIFFERENT CULTURAL OVERVIEW OF BOTH VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA.ALL FLIGHTS AND GUIDES WERE EXACTLY AS ARRANGED IN THE ITINARY. THE GUIDES WERE VERY INFORMATIVE AND FRIENDLY ALSO THE TRANSPORT OFFERED WAS ALWAYS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE

ALL ACCOMMODATION AND TOURS WERE OFFERED FOR OUT TAILOR MADE HOLIDAY BY EASTRAVEL, IN ALL CASES THE CHOICES WERE EXCELLENT.

Travelled throughout Vietnam and Thailand and our driver and guide were very polite and always on time. They were very knowledgeable and the standard of private car provided was very good. All of the trips were excellent value for money. Hotels were perfectly situated and of a very good standard.

We started our holiday in Ho Chi Minh and spent 3 days experiencing the culture, cuisine and people this fantastic city offers. We had a guide Quan who was so nice, helpful and informative that we learnt so much more than any guide book would tell you. We then flew to Hue and spent 3 days here with our guide Dan who again was lovely, helpful and informative. We visited the last emporors palace, temples and craft villages. We packed so much into our 3 days. Hue is Very different to Saigon and equally beautiful. We then drove to Hoi An for a 7 night beach break which is totally stunning and exactly what we needed before we returned to work. Hoi An is a heritage town and the architecture and streetscne are stunning. The people are so friendly and welcoming we loved this part of our holiday and did an Vietnamese masterclass with a local restaurant which was an amazing experience.

We booked through Eastravel as when I made enquiries they were the most prompt and attentive to our requirements. We had never been to Vietnam before and Cathy was very helpful in understanding what we wanted to get out of our holiday and tailoring an itinary to match. A few weeks before we were due to travel Vietnam airlines changed their airport base so that we would fly from Gatwick but return to Heathrow. Dorothy at Eastravel was brilliant in organising us a taxi from Heathrow so that we would land where we had parked our car. I would, without hesitation book with Eastravel again.
