Travellers

Real stories, real escapes.

  • Vietnam · All Girls — travellers

    First group trip for me, and Xin chào, Saigon on day one took the nerves out of it. The pace was honest — a couple of early starts, and they told us in advance rather than springing them. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.

    Harini Rao, Kolkata

  • Vietnam · All Girls — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. Ha Long Bay cruise came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Ritika Reddy, Thane

  • Vietnam · All Girls — travellers

    The route sold it — Saigon, Da Nang, Hoi An in 8 days without me planning a thing. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

    Aditi Ghosh, Bhopal

  • Vietnam · All Girls — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Already looking at their Kaziranga & Meghalaya · Christmas & New Year trip.

    Meera Mehta, Coimbatore

  • Vietnam · All Girls — travellers

    7 nights was exactly right — long enough to settle, short enough to take off work. Xin chào, Saigon is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Faiza Kulkarni, Jaipur
