1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Our informative guide Danny, the amazing scenery along the Mekong Delta and the awesome Vietnamese cuisine. And the fabulous, fresh, tropical fruit. The wonderful side trips to cocoa operation, clay /making, rice noodle making, Rice-popping And the Snake Wine! The Vietnamese children! The bikes were great.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be open and ask about Vietnamese culture, and make sure you can physically ride for three straight days on flat surfaces. Be able to navigate a bicycle in some chaotic motorcycle traffic. Our guide kept us safe but it got hairy for us westerners.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Hmmm. We ate at very local establishments and homestays. Environmentally, we rode bicycles so did not contribute to air pollution. However, it is an understatement to say that Vietnam is in its infancy regarding garbage and recycling.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
All of it - but especially The Mekong Delta.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Not to worry about anything as everything is so well organised. The tour guides were exceptional, especially Vivian in Vietnam. So was so much fun and very knowledgeable and friendly.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, I would say our holiday benefited local people, We were able to buy so many local hand made goods and talk with the local people about how they were made. We stopped at Homestay accommodation, and ate locally produced meals. We did use local transport, visited charity organised events.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Overall - Amazing. From the time we met up with Vivian in Vietnam and our tour around Vietnam to meeting another guide in Cambodia and visiting Palaces, Mekong Delta, Markets, Cruises on wooden boats, Angkor Wat (and other wonderfully preserved and renovated temples), and listening to our guides who were so friendly and knowledgeable. I would 100% recommend Responsible Travel and the tour operator. We loved our time in Vietnam and Cambodia. Thank you.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
