Lovely country

Martin

Great trip. Best way to see the backroads. Attentive, knowledgeable guide, convenient accommodations, excellent food. I really enjoyed all activities.

I saw a lot of the country and I loved the locals here as they were so friendly, and eveyone gave me a smile (this barely happens in my home country). I wish I could have more time for Vietnam

Great way to see Vietnam's countryside

This was the first time we came here, but this lovely country has made us fell in love so quickly. The tour is a great combination of megacity vs countrysie, of history vs culture. It seems that all Vietnamese people are very hospitable, especially the locals in countryside they smiled at anyone who passed through.

Enjoyed the trip a lot and would definitely take another tour with Threeland for my next trip to Hanoi!
