Reviews & Feedbacks about This Tour

"Wonderful, incredible planning"

My husband and I did the "Vietnam like a local" 15-day tour and it was excellent. We were able to customize the itinerary, from choosing specific hotels to not doing one day trip. Phuong Nguyen "Ms. Mia" planned every logistic--and for a 2+ week trip covering the entire country, there were a LOT of logistics. Not one tour guide or driver was late. Not one thing went wrong. Ms. Mia was available practically around the clock to answer questions and make sure we were well. She thought of details we didn't, like getting us late checkouts from our hotel so we could shower before night flights or train trips, for example. (It was HOT when we traveled!)

There were 2 days on the trip that didn't have the best itineraries and we gave her feedback to improve them for others in the future. But overall, the trip was incredible and we really did get great insight into the people, culture, history, and food of Vietnam. Sapa was our absolute favorite--trekking through rice fields and visiting homes of various ethnic groups--was unforgettable. Our guide, Ms. Dung, was joyous, fun, full of knowledge, and spoke super English. We also loved Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, and the Mekong Delta. Unlike other travelers, we were disappointed by Ha Long Bay, which was filled with litter and crowded with other ships. Ho Chi Minh City wasn't as charming to us as other cities, but had great history. Realize that you are going to be sold souvenirs all the time. Just get used to saying "no" or buying a lot!

The itinerary from Inside Travel was quite busy, but also gave us free time exactly when we needed it. Every tour guide they got us spoke English and was happy to customize the tour based on our preferences (or the weather). We had a lot of free time one day, so the guide (Ang) took us on a wonderful bike ride for 2 hours and we loved it. Another guide (Bee) took us for excellent coffee in a rice field near Hoi An. Ms. Dung heard that we were excited to be close to China, so she took us on a detour to see the border up close.

We are very experienced travelers, from backpacking to luxury, and felt very, very comfortable with Inside Travel and Ms. Mia. We would absolutely recommend this company and the Vietnam Like a Local tour. We are already considering our next trip... Ellen MacDermid - United States

FAQs about This Tour

What do we do with our luggage in Sapa while trekking? Is it better for us to leave our suitcase (carry on with wheels in Hanoi) and just take an overnight bag?

For the rural tour in Hoi An, I see that biking is included. I’m not very comfortable riding a bike—will we have to ride very far?

In the event that a flight or a tour is delayed or cancelled, I imagine you will notify us and take care of rescheduling if need be, transportation (flights, drivers…)? Does your office provide this sort of service throughout the whole tour have organized for us?

While on a private tour, will it be an issue for the guides/drivers should we need to return to the hotel prematurely? I can’t imagine this happening but we still need to ask the question.
