Solo Trip with Custom Tour

Review of: Adventure from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi 15 days 14 nights

I used Mr. Linh's Adventures to create a custom itinerary for my 2.5 week stay in Vietnam. Right from the start they communicated clearly, were very responsive, and flexible and willing to create an itinerary that matched my wants and budget. My tour consultant, Helen, was exceptional. She texted me daily throughout my trip checking in and updating me with pick up times for my daily tours. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe knowing that I could reach out to Helen at any time of day for help. My daily tour guides were great. They were knowledgeable and fluently spoke English. Vietnam is a wonderful, beautiful country and I highly recommend Helen and Mr Linh's Adventures!
