15-Day Tour to Explore Vietnam

I didn’t do the full 15 day trip but my tour organizer, Tim was super friendly, knowledgeable, and a great help with everything I wanted to do (Ha Giang Loop, Halong Bay, etc.). I would definitely use AVT travel again if I return to Vietnam for another tour.

My husband and I just got back from a full month in Vietnam. Tim from AVT organized the most amazing trip for us, right from being picked up at the airport the first day. I sent him a few ideas we had and he coordinated drivers and guides to tour us through the most beautiful places while we moved through the country. The guides were all really knowledgeable and passionate to share the history and culture of Vietnam and its people. We learned a lot and enjoyed every moment. The last two weeks we wanted more of a beachy, slow paced holiday and he along with his colleague Tuoc delivered. The price was very reasonable; I don’t think we could have done it cheaper ourselves and it certainly wouldn’t have been as seamless. We can’t recommend Tim and AVT Travel enough!

Holiday of a Lifetime – Exceptional from Start to Finish We have just completed a 19-day tour of Vietnam organised by Tiam at Asia Vietnam Travel — and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. Our journey began in Hanoi with a fascinating city tour that gave us a real insight into Vietnam’s history and culture. From there we travelled to Mai Chau, where the peaceful countryside and our homestay experience were absolute highlights. Staying with a local family and cycling through the surrounding villages was incredibly special — authentic, unspoilt and something we will never forget. Halong Bay was breathtaking, and the overnight cruise was beautifully organised. The staff made me feel like a VIP, thoughtfully catering for my vegetarian diet with beautifully prepared dishes at every meal. Nothing was too much trouble, and the level of service was exceptional. Travelling on the overnight train to Hue (in a private cabin) added a real sense of adventure. In Hue, the Top Gear motorbike tour was one of the standout moments of the entire holiday — exhilarating, informative and such a unique way to experience the area. Hoi An was utterly charming. After our orientation walking tour and a wonderful morning cycling through the countryside, we enjoyed an excellent afternoon cooking class which was both fun and delicious. We also had a free day to relax at our own pace and soak up the atmosphere during Tet, which made our time there feel even more special and authentic. We stayed at the Bliss Hotel, which was exceptional — beautifully presented, high standards throughout and wonderful staff. In the south, our time in Saigon and the Mekong Delta gave us a completely different perspective of Vietnam — vibrant, energetic and full of life. We also spent time in Phu Quoc. While it was interesting to see another side of the country, we personally preferred the character, charm and authenticity of mainland Vietnam. Phu Quoc felt more developed and beach-focused than our usual travel style — though we readily admit we are not natural beach lovers, so this may simply reflect our own preferences. Our stay arranged via Tiam was then rounded off in Bangkok, which was vibrant, fascinating and a wonderful contrast — an exciting way to conclude such a varied and memorable journey. What truly made this trip exceptional were the guides. Every single one was superb — knowledgeable, warm, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about sharing their country. They went above and beyond to ensure we experienced not just the key sights, but the real Vietnam — its people, food and traditions. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Vietnam itself is a joy: the people are incredibly friendly, the food is outstanding (and remarkably good value), and the scenery is simply stunning. If you appreciate attention to detail, high standards, seamless organisation and excellent value for money, this is the tour company for you. We travelled on a friend’s recommendation and were not disappointed — and this certainly will not be our last trip with Tiam.

It’s a full on experience from landing to leaving but you do get some downtime. We packed in so many memories and the guides we had were so enthusiastic and full of information about their amazing country. Due to weather 1 planned trip was slightly changed but we still did what was planned and more! The last few days in Saigon with Ben (our guide) was absolutely brilliant seeing the Cu Chi tunnels, Mekong Delta etc and I got to go crocodile fishing! Diving from the boat in Halong bay was a welcome break from the gazzilion motorbikes🤣🤣 all in all this trip was amazing, too many things to mention to be honest. Loved it!

I simply cannot say enough, good things about this company based on our experience. This was by far the biggest trip we have ever taken and it was the most incredible experience! We were so fortunate to have a friend make the connection to organize and invite us on the trip of lifetime exploring Vietnam and it far exceeded any expectations we could have had! The whole experience was so well organized yet flexible to our needs as they came up and truly flowed so incredibly I still can’t even believe it to be honest. Vietnam is a stunning country with so much rich history and such pride in their culture. We enjoyed everything that was organized for us immensely. We were a group of 15 people ages 7-70+ and it was an incredible experience for all that we will never forget. Can’t wait for our next adventure with ATV tourism! Thank you for such a mind blowing and unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend!

We took recommendation from our friends who had used AVT Travel and booked our holiday in the north of Vietnam. The trip was amazing, we had a lot of fun and great memories after our trip was over. Our tour guide Dat was very informative, enthusiastic, professional and took care of us so well. Everything AVT arranged for us was just perfect and we highly recommend you guys to book this trip once you come.

We had a wonderful time in northern Vietnam thanks to the knowledge and attention to detail by Tim. He took care of all logistics and made sure we were treated well by tour operators and by various hotels we stayed. He even came to my rescue and sorted out unexpected visa issue. Tim is friendly and caring person and I thank him for a memorable time in Vietnam. We even got to meet his wonderful family. Thank you so much Tim.

Our customized tour with AVT (Asia Vietnam Travel) to northwest Vietnam offered many occasions to commune with nature and to meet Vietnamese people in their authentic villages and homesteads. We enjoyed relaxed-paced exploration in parks, rivers, lakes and historical sites. There was a healthy variety of walking, boat riding and road traveling. There were also some opportunities for cycling in the countryside. Our guide Pham Thien a.k.a. Tim is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and patient with questions of all kinds. He also has a good sense of humor. Tim has visited Canada, speaks good English and is familiar with North American culture. He shares great local knowledge for dining, shopping and extra excursions. He is also very knowledgeable about the history of areas we visited and the history of Vietnam. Our bus driver, Huan, negotiated a variety of road and traffic conditions while maintaining a smooth cabin experience and remaining courteous with other drivers. I would highly recommend a tour with AVT Travel during a visit in Vietnam.

Vietnam is one of the most beautiful and interesting countries we have ever traveled . From Ho Chi Min City , Cu Chi Tunnels, Mekong Delta, Lang Co Beach, Hue, Sapa villages and Halong Bay! Amazing scenery and wonderful people. ATV was everything we could have imagined in a tour guide from their hotels, historical sites, immersing ourselves into their everyday lives and being welcomed into their homes and culture. A must see for sure!

I wish I could come to Sapa earlier with my family rather than until May 2022. We have decided to travel to Vietnam to relax the working stress of the project months. I was extremely satisfied with the service, food and work of AVT Travel, one of the most professional tour operators in Vietnam. I hope to be able to come back to Vietnam again.
