I and my wife had a wonderful trip to Vietnam organized with the team to add an additional 4 days onto our tour. Dat and his team were brilliant to deal with and did and an amazing job accommodating for our request to extend the tour and also to meet my husband dietary requirements. The local tour guides were great and provided great information and were very helpful. The hotels locations were fantastic and close to everything. Again, We had a fantastic time and hope to travel with Vietnam Tour Fun again in the future,
Excellent travel itinerary to Vietnam with 24hrs support, great hotels provided. Thanks Minah for your support throughout the tour and making it a memorable family vacation.
Me and my friend had a 9 day tour in Vietnam in January this year…It was absolutely fantastic from the first approach of my travel referent from Vietnam Tour Fun , Ms Minah. She helped us made some changes with tour and still have plenty of time for us doing our things. We could not have been more pleased.
It’s a good tour if you don’t have much time to explore Vietnam, you get to see a lot of what Vietnam is about
Deep into culture and boarden my mind a lot on this tour. We met many mind-like travellers and listened to many good stories from our guide Hannah. She is so good that no words can describe. Everything is great except for the lady in Hanoi hotel, but then it’s not a big problem at all.
