Victor and local guide specialist Nga put together a wonderful off-peak trip for my family, with the luxury of a full 9-sitter van to ourselves, driven by Mike and accompanied by a local guide named Tom. While there was a lot of driving involved, we felt safe and comfortable throughout thanks to our skilled driver. Our local guide provided an excellent tour of North Vietnam’s mountainous beauty and treated us to delicious local Vietnamese cuisine throughout the journey. The mountain trekking was particularly memorable. The itinerary was well-balanced, allowing for plenty of relaxation time, and by the end of the trip, my family and I were all visibly relaxed and happy.
