Review of our Vietnam Trip (Pick your trials) Recently, our trip to Vietnam was made memorable, thanks to our tour guides. Our tour guides in Hanoi (Tobi) and Ninh Binh (David) were very informative, and they explained everything to us in great detail. They were friendly, patient and always ready to answer our questions, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide in Da Nang (Lee) was also a good one However, he didnt explain things as clearly and at times seemed a bit money minded as he was focused more on getting money from us. Still he ensured that we visited all the important places and had a smooth experience overall.

We recently went on a tour to Vietnam by Pickyourtrail and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-planned. The itinerary covered breathtaking destinations like Hanoi, Halong Bay, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, providing the perfect mix of culture, history, and relaxation. Things were well customized in line to our requirement _ thanks to the incredible job by the sales person- Mr. Aman Guleria. The accommodations were top-notch, the transportation was comfortable, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to assist. They shared fascinating insights about Vietnams history, traditions, and local cuisine, making the journey even more enriching. One of the highlights was the cruise in Halong Baystunning landscapes, delicious food, and a peaceful atmosphere. The local food experiences were also a delight, from street food adventures in Hanoi to fine dining in Ho Chi Minh City. I highly recommend Pickyourtrail to anyone looking for a hassle-free and memorable trip to Vietnam. They truly go above and beyond to ensure an amazing travel experience. Cant wait to book my next adventure with them!
