Review of: North to South Vietnam tour package 12 days 11 nights

It’s different from guide to guide. In general all are super nice with a different level of English .Superb bus to can tho! Heaven! All the hotels were good. Hoi an beach hotel and TCC especially. Very good choices! In general the food and the service has been really good. But the last day in Can Tho we had dinner and then lunch the next day in Ngan Long Hotel in Can Tho. That place is NOT good enough. The food was not at all delicious and the group didn’t enjoy it. It was a pain when we saw that we were eating there the second time as well. The place has no charm, it’s not tidy, no power in the toilets. Very bad impression of that place. Also no other guests. Avoid it! "I would suggest to make some more free time when staying at the very good hotels with swimming pool etc. there is no time to enjoy hotel facilities, because early out and late back. Meeting people. All the various places and things to see. I liked all!! Would be nice to be able to have a couple of hours to enjoy it . I would suggest to have an extra choice on activity in Ho Chi Minh to go to the Opera House to see AO show. It’s amazing of give a really good impression of culturally aspect. Also for the adventurous once to join a street food tour on the motorbike. I joined with XO tours which was amazing"

All accomodations were fully satisfacturing.
All guides were good, but especially the young girl that took os on the 2 day tour in the Mekong delta was excellent.
Only one restaurant arranged by you was a little disapointing and that was the one where we had lunch at our first day tour, the sightseeing in Hanoi where we also visited ethnical museum.
All drivers were very good but the one who should pick us up when we arrived at the airport in Saigon was not able to find us.

Review of: Adventure and Luxury Vietnam 12 days 11 nights

* HOTEL:
Since we have slept in six different hotels (inkl one boat) it is hard to generalise. The hotel in Vietnam (HM boutique hotell) was not good. Good location but they spoke hardly any english and the breakfast was poor. Few seats as well. Motorbikes in the reception etc. The others were good. The TTC in Gan Tho was nice but not a five star hotell. Generally the beds were excellent. Quit noicy around the Hoi An Beach resort hotell - startung six in the morning wirh music and dancing.

* RESTAURANT:
Same here, very different at different places. First lunch in Hanoi - not nice at all. It was could inside, undrinkable wine and the food did not taste much plus late lunch. Lunch, dinner, brunch at boat in Ha long was very nice. Good, friendly, nice atmosphere. Lunch in Hue and Hoi An was good and tasty. Quite late here as well. In Ho Chi Min City it was awful. Prepared in adwance, dry chicken and we ate in a empty room not a restaurant. In My Tho and the islands we had a nice and welltasting lunch. The last day in Can Tho we had a very strange (local) lunch, many dishes but not so welltasting. Friendly atmosphere though. Breakfast good except in Hanoi. Hard to get good coffe. We could have had som coffebreaks during the morning ”sessions”, it became long time before lunch sometimes at 2 pm and we had early pick-ups.

* TOUR:
Also different among different drivers and tours. Generally they were very good drivers. The pick-up times was punctually almost always. Driving back from Can Tho the driver did not take the high-way and it took us four hours and half to get to the hotell. The driving speed was 50-60 km. And we were all tired and wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible.

* TOUR GUIDE:
Same here. Big difference among them. We had six different guides. All very ambitious, friendly etc. But some had a very strange accent so it was hard to understand their english - especially i Ha Long and Cu chi tunnels. You lost a lot in translation.

* TOUR ITINERARY:
Very good, a lot of variety, some small surprices, a lot of tasting and looking.
