READ WHAT FELLOW SAYS
We did enjoy our Vietnam holiday very much and it surely was one of the best trips we ever made.
The highlights were surely in the North Vietnam. The trip to Sapa and the mountain bike tour was magnificent, though we underestimated how cold it can be in the mountains in December especially during the night time. Since we live in Singapore we are not really well equipped if it comes to warm clothes, but we would surely take more warm clothes with us when traveling in winter up there.
As I said we loved the North of Vietnam especially and I suppose if we would do it again, we probably would spend more time up there.
Our Vietnam tour was very well designed and organized and it was a first for us that an operator actually was checking several times during the holidays, if everything is OK. That was very much appreciated.
Again - it surely was one of the best trips we ever made - we had a great holiday.
