Tailor made holidays in Vietnam
Tours & holidays in 2019 & 2020

The tours with Vespa Adventures were incredible. The experience of Saigon and the Mekong Delta would not have been the same from the inside of a bus or car. Also fantastic was the sunrise tour of Angkor Wat, the food in Hanoi, and the shopping in Hot An. (more)Daria Flores

Enjoyed every single day, the travel arrangements were excellent, and there was the right mix between some days which had a full itinerary- and on others plenty of 'down time' to rest! The hotels were all very comfortable, and the staff couldn't do enough, so friendly. (more)Mai Roberts

It was excellent. I would definitely recommend this sort of tour for a first visit. We had never had a guide or arranged tour before so it really made the difference knowing that tours had been prepaid and pick ups and cars had been pre arranged. (more)Val Bodington

Both the visit to the Cu Chi tunnels and the day on the Mekong Delta was the most memorable. (more)Emma Miller

Memorable parts? There were too many wonderful experiences to mention them all. However, in no particular order; sailing on Halong Bay - just beautiful and so relaxing; our ecotour day with Jack Tran Tours - cycling past paddy fields and learning to fish and paddle a coracle; Hoi An - the old part of the city is beautiful; Travelling along the Mekong Delta - watching daily life on the river, the river markets, etc; Phnom Penn - eating at the Foreign Correspondence Club was like going back... (more)Steve Blake

Memorable parts? Mekong delta Tips? Spend more time in Dalat and less time in Nha Trang. Local benefits? Benefited local people Overall rating? Very good. (more)Nikki Bache

Memorable parts? There really were many. However, for me it was probably the Vespa Adventure tour around Saigon. A really fun and exciting (and safe, so far as we were concerned) pillion ride around the city with stops at local eateries, a secret lounge (local singers) and finishing at a night club. A fantastic insight into Vietnamese city life, food and a chance to experience the organised chaos of its streets close up. Others might enjoy Angkor Wat, the Mekong cruise, halong bay or... (more)Paul Watling

It was all excellent - we visited Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hue and Hoi-An. All 3 guides really knew their stuff and really enhanced the holiday (more)Chris Holman

We had a wonderful time and felt that we accomplished what we set out to do, which was to give our 14 year old daughter a taste of the sites, history and culture of the country in which she was born. (more)Karen Foust

Very good - not the best holiday ever, but a great break with some very funny moments. (more)Christian Barkei

The food - absolutely delicious everywhere we went, even the meal cooked by our guide in a Tay minority homestead where we ate with the family and drank rice wine welcome shots. Phu Quoc Mango Bay resort - peaceful, eco-friendly, lots of options. The scenery - highlights, Mount Fan Xi Pan from Sapa and Halong Bay. (more)Diana Orton

We had a fantastic time and would recommend this operator to anyone travelling to Vietnam. The management of the tour was excellent. We loved Vietnam, from the food to the people to the places. There is much to see and do and we felt that our tour covered many of the beautiful areas in Vietnam. (more)Annalet van Deventer

Surviving the throng of motorbikes in the streets of Hanoi was the most memorable part. (more)Rachel Crossley

Memorable parts? This is a difficult one, as everyday was different and full of interest. Five of us went on this holiday and the best part for me was the morning view from our homestay balcony in Vietnam. Oh, and the cruise on Halong Bay, eating street food in Hanoi & having a delicious lunch prepared for us in a local home in Battambang. Tips? Be prepared to get down with the locals and feel you really get an insight into their lives. Local benefits? I felt quite smug,... (more)Joan Day

Memorable parts? Too many memorable moments to pick one; junk in Bai Tu Long Bay, caves in Phong Nha, beautiful Hoi An, and vintage Vespas in HCMC all stand out as highlights. Tips? Travel light! Pack your mosquito repellent and use it. Try everything and be ready to be wowed. Local benefits? Benefited the local economy - we bought as much as possible from small local traders. Overall rating? 11/10. Spectacular! (more)Wendy Harbutt

Memorable parts? Back of bike tour Ho Chi Minh City Halong Bay Cruise Tips? Travel light, mosquito spray Obtain a map of the city and ask about the best places to eat Local benefits? Benefited local people only by contributing to tourism Overall rating? Excellent (more)Beverley Ashurst

...our overall experience was amazing! We loved the people and the variety of Vietnamese countryside. We feel that this trip was a quick tour of the country and would love to return to visit areas we did not have time to visit (e.g. the national parks) and revisit areas for longer (e.g. a home stay and trek in Sapa). (more)Tracey Warren

Exceptional...The trip to Halong Bay was the most exciting part of the trip. (more)Richard Mcleish

We enjoyed it all - wonderful food, pleasant, well informed guides, new experiences. Hanoi is a beautiful and really buzzing city; we'd love to go back. Mai Chau valley is beautiful and developing fast; Halong is like visiting another planet - so strange, so awe-inspiring. (more)Patricia Stoat

It was a great holiday, and it is very hard to single out one thing. Our trip to the northeast was one of the best bits (I was honoured to be invited to join the other giggling grannies on the floor of the Tay house - if only I was as limber as they are!). (more)Margery Nzerem

It was all highly memorable. We particularly liked our visit to a village outside Hanoi where we met with local people and were able to ask questions. (more)Alison and Paul Crowe
