The tour was great we took the shuttle but out of the container terminal and our guide and driver had a sign with our name on it. Our guide was a local lady who spoke good English and she gave us a great trip and was so flexible to make sure we did everything we wanted to do.

You’ll buy only what you want, when you want. *Localizing and Refining: We only offer our tours to selected few locations, and are narrowing down the places to where we take our guests, places that we have confidence that we can give you the most authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences. In order words, we do not run the business to expand it, but to refine its quality over the years.

Jordan our tour guide was fantastic, conducting and providing all information in both Vietnamese and English to accomodate for our group. He was friendly, proffessional and helpful- offering to take group pictures of us, helping us on and off of the boats and also ensuring there was a vegetarian friendly meal for myself. The tour itself was fantastic and well worth the money spent and deserving of a tip for all of his hard work and effort throughout the day! Couldn't recommend more, thank you Jordan! ????

We booked and paid for a week bike tour in Vietnam with this company. We even went to Vietnam but after arrival....covid took over and Vietnam closed many of its hotels, restaurants and public areas in many cities. Airports were restricting flights and our connection city did close it doors a few days after we left. We had to leave then or be stuck there. We contacted the tour operator (we were the only three on the tour) and the only response we received was "OMG, I will have to get back to you." Since then they have not replied to any emails we have sent. They have not even responded to say they are busy as many are in this wild world we live in just now. We were a group of 3 so not a big deal to reply to our email and let us know where we stand regarding refunds. No money was spent by them other than the time to book the hotels. Many of the hotels were cancelling at that point so cancelling them might not have been necessary. Does anyone know how to contact this company?

An excellent experience. Our guide, Tan, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He also had a driver for the car and that made for a good experience since Tan was free to talk and show us photos and maps. He had an itinerary but was free to let us do what we wanted to do with no time restrictions. Made it back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. After we got back from our trip Tan even sent us a music video with all the pictures he took of the two of us.

We visited Cambodia & vietnam for 14 days.. It was really well organised.. From the start till end everything was very well organised. Since it was a budget trip the hotels which were booked was way better than we expected. Any queries jasmine always was there to solve it within few minutes. I would definitely recommend people to go with this agency. They are really good. Due to some mis communication there was some confusion in ho Chi Minh City and within no time we got back our refund.
