This was a truly delightful holiday – one of my best ever. Beautiful, inspiring places to visit. Fabulous hotel with welcoming staff and delicious food. An amazing local tour guide who made us feel like VIPs. An itinerary custom-designed to delight all the family. Opportunities for the kids to learn to make local dishes in the hotel kitchen. A lovely tour group who we got on so well with. If exodus do other such holidays will join in an instant.

Glenda made the tour! She is an excellent guide, even in torrential rainfalls she found ways to keep us excited and smiling!

We had not done an adventure family holiday before and were unsure as to what to expect. Any anxieties were very quickly dispelled and we had a memorable 14 days discovering Vietnam from north to south. The schedule was paced so that we had time to recover from flights and travelling. The heat took some getting used to. Our tour guide said that Vietnam has two types of weather, hot and hotter, so don’t pack a jumper! There were five other families on the tour and we all got along really well. Our tour guide Huyen Nguyen made sure everything went smoothly and imparted her in depth knowledge of Vietnam giving us context and descriptions of her beautiful country. The tour was a mix of activities from rickshaws in Hanoi, Cooking classes in Hoi An and relaxing at Whale island. We didn’t really get into the history of the “American War” until late into the tour which was good, because Vietnam is so much more than its history! The Vietnamese people were warm, welcoming and generous. It is also helpful that English is spoken widely and quite well, which is useful as the Vietnamese language is very difficult to understand. The food was really tasty and we enjoyed the Ban-mi in particular. One final note, the Hotels were really good, particularly the Sincerity Hotel in Hoi An which has a very good swimming pool.
