A lovely cultural experience
A four centred experience in Vietnam taking in all the sights, sounds and culinary surprises. Different experiences in each of the different areas. A wonderful cultural and educational experience

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel Group were excellent from initially booking enquiry, to arrival, departure and returning home. The holiday was seamless and as planned without any glitches. It worked like clockwork and the only negative side being it went too quickly

Fabulous family holilday in Vietnam
We travelled from north to south in two weeks with our two boys (12 and 16). Experience Travel had organised everythiing for us and we could not fault our guides or the itinerary. We enjoyed a great mix of culture, history and nature - with a few beach days in the middle for some r&r. All our hotels were very comfortable and we were extremely well looked after throughout.

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel organised everything really well and I can't fault them in any way. They were very helpful both before and during our holiday. I would recommend to friends willingly.

Vietnam - epic holiday
We started in Hanoi- great city and a wonderful experience. Then a luxury overnight junk cruise around Halong Bay- stunning scenery and very nice facilities. After that we went to Hoi An- lovely town and stayed in a fantastic resort called The Bam Hai- just excellent. Finished off in Ho Chi Minh City - again just great. All transfers went smoothly, our guides were good and, with the exception of the cookery class in Hoi An (way too hot weather ...
We started in Hanoi- great city and a wonderful experience. Then a luxury overnight junk cruise around Halong Bay- stunning scenery and very nice facilities.

All transfers went smoothly, our guides were good and, with the exception of the cookery class in Hoi An (way too hot weather and too long) all the excursions were brilliant. We would definitely recommend Vietnam for a holiday and Experience Travel Group delivered everything they promised. Very good and knowledgeable consultant, David Gookey, met all our requirements.
Rating for tour operator:Please see above- friendly, knowledgeable and professional service

Vietnam - from the nostalgic North to the cosmopolitan South
Exciting, educational, extraordinary. Friendly people always smiling. Superb hotels with wonderful service in nostalgic colonial Hanoi, relaxing Hoi An and vibrant hectic Ho Chi Minh City. Stunning scenery in Ha Long Bay and the Hoi Van Pass. Authentic tours show casing the Street food scene and the relaxed rural life of water buffalo in rice fields. Exhilarating tours on vintage Vespas and speedboats on the Mekong. Rich in history with heart ...

Stunning scenery in Ha Long Bay and the Hoi Van Pass. Authentic tours show casing the Street food scene and the relaxed rural life of water buffalo in rice fields. Exhilarating tours on vintage Vespas and speedboats on the Mekong. Rich in history with heart breaking remnants of war. Vietnam has it all - a trip to cherish and remember.
Rating for tour operator:Friendly, efficient. Willing to answer any query no matter how small or silly. Would highly recommend.

Adventures in Vietnam
Thrilling 14 day bespoke tailored holiday, full of adventure and discovery. We fell in love with Vietnam and its gentle people, returning home full of stories of our wonderful experiences travelling from North to South taking in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Saigon. Highly recommended.

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel Group designed a wonderful bespoke adventure for us covering 14 days travelling from North to South Vietnam. Having fully discussed what we were interested in, our excellent travel consultant David Gookey pulled together what looked like a truly exciting itinerary for us that needed no tweaking on our part. In the event Vietnam turned out even better than we could have expected, with every experience more than living up to its billing. I would happily use David and the company again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
Dear Frances,

Great family experience
We spent two weeks in Vietnam and Singapore with our children (13 and 17). It was an amazing family experience, and we could concentrate on being on holiday rather than on the details of hotels and transport because Experience Travel sorted all that out for us. Their choice of hotels and activities was spot on.

Family holiday to Vietnam with teenagers
We travelled down Vietnam from the North to the South over 3 weeks. Great hotels, guides helpful and knowledgeable, organisation great. We had so many new experiences and enjoyed a well balanced mixture of sightseeing, relaxation and activities which kept us all happy and made sure everyone in the family enjoyed the holiday.

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel organised everything brilliantly and I was able to relax in the run up to and during the holiday, knowing it was all under control. The communication and documentation in the run up to the holiday was great. I thought the App was very useful to have ready access to documents and weather forecasts.
Hi Catherine,
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback and so glad you all had a fantastic family holiday!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your Summer,

Magical Vietnam and Cambodia holiday
Just over two weeks spent travelling in Vietnam and Cambodia with my husband and 11 year old son. Visited Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Siem Reap. All proved to be excellent and inspiring destinations. We had a tailor- made itinerary incorporating lots of sight seeing and activity with a private guide and driver plus some downtime at the beach and by the pool.

Just over two weeks spent travelling in Vietnam and Cambodia with my husband and 11 year old son. Visited Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Siem Reap. All proved to be excellent and inspiring destinations. We had a tailor- made itinerary incorporating lots of sight seeing and activity with a private guide and driver plus some downtime at the beach and by the pool. We experienced things we wouldn't have been brave enough to do without a guide e.g. tasting delicious street food in Hanoi. We learnt lots about these magical countries and saw much more than we thought we would in such a relatively short time because of the thoughtful way in which Experience Travel had put together the itinerary. We were never rushed but were still able to make the most of every moment.
Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel arranged an exciting itinerary for us using very comfortable accommodation at a price we felt was good value for money. We received very good service and our agent, Matt, took the time to find out what we wanted from our holiday rather than trying to sell us a "one size fits all" itinerary.
Dear Jane,
What a lovely review! Thank you very much, so pleased you had such a good time and I'll pass your comments onto Matt who will be very pleased.
Kind regards,
