Travellers

Real stories, real escapes.

  • Vietnam · Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Hanoi — travellers

    Travelled solo and never once felt like the odd one out. Ha Long Bay cruise came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Rahul Rao, Ahmedabad

  • Vietnam · Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Hanoi — travellers

    The route sold it — Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Hanoi in 8 days without me planning a thing. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Vikram Menon, Kolkata

  • Vietnam · Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Hanoi — travellers

    First group trip for me, and Da Nang and Hoi An on day one took the nerves out of it. Four islands was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Harini Pillai, Jaipur

  • Vietnam · Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Hanoi — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. 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.

    Uday Thakur, Bengaluru

  • Vietnam · Da Nang, Phu Quoc & Hanoi — travellers

    Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Da Nang and Hoi An is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Would do it again with the same crew.
