Went in with low expectations about travelling with strangers and came back with a group chat that is still going. Hello, Da Nang is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

The route sold it — Saigon, Da Nang, Hanoi in 8 days without me planning a thing. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.

First group trip for me, and Xin chào, Saigon on day one took the nerves out of it. Mekong Delta was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

7 nights was exactly right — long enough to settle, short enough to take off work. Ha Long Bay cruise came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.
