1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

The food! Strolling around the lakes in Hanoi, Halong Bay, cycling in the countryside, cooking classes - so many experiences on a very varied trip.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Read the trip notes so that you know how much travel there will be, moving on to a new destination almost every day.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes, many local services were used on our trip, from boat operators to enjoyable home-cooked meals. Using overnight sleeper trains reduced the environmental impact as opposed to internal flights.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Excellent. We had a very good, knowledgeable and personable guide who gave us an insightful introduction to his country, and a friendly group of fellow travellers.
