Awsome Halong Bay and Hoi An ancient town. We got nice pics from this tour in May. We tried various cuisines from the North to the South. The dishes were a good combination of all ingredients. Vietnamese fish sauce is perfect when adding chili, garlic, sugar and lemon juice to dip spring roll, rice pancake and many things else in.
Love this country!
Nancy White –
We love this tour, especially Halong Bay with the overnight cruise. We love the wooden junk named Dragon Pearl very much since it’s small but so lovely with nice decoration and very good service. Beside Halong Bay, Hoi An is also a must-see place when visiting Hoi An. The coffee with condensed milk on the street side in Hoi An ancient town was exceptional.

We are an old couple who are not so active but our guides were all patient and helpful. Our tour in Mar 2023 was very good. Just need a bit more attentions because our bed at several hotels were small and tight for us. Some restaurants served big portions while we are not huge eaters :).
Thank you for your good arrangement!

This tour is good for people who don’t have much time for a long holiday but it would be perfect if we could add something like bamboo basket boat trip or Vespa tour at night in the itinerary.
The guides assigned were all good and experience but Mr. Dat in Hoi An was the best one. He was very smart, helpful and enthusiastic. My girlfriend had a pain in her ankle and he helped buy pain relief spray for her without getting any money.
The hotels were good but the room in Ho Chi Minh City is a bit small. It is about 20sqm, I think.
The meals were good but some dishes were not very fine for us, for example the grilled chicken was chewy and the fish wasn’t fillet.

We contacted some travel agencies in Vietnam but finally chose Asia Legend because their tour consultant was quite knowledgeable and smart. With our limited budget, she recommended us a dorm in Hanoi and cheap 3-star hotels in Hoi An and Saigon. The dorm was clean and good enough for the students like us. We loved Hoi An Rose Garden the most since it has a swimming pool and offered tasty breakfast. The shuttle bus from Hanoi to Halong and return was good. It was just a pity as our guide in Saigon had pain in his leg and another guide was assign from the day 7 on. We only complain a bit because the restaurants served too much food, that we couldn’t eat all. It was a waste.

The itinerary was a really good mix of organised activities as well as free time, which we really liked. Everything ran smoothly thanks to good team Asia Legend Travel.
The hotels were great, very comfortable and with great amenities, especially for me a gym and pool.
Food was plentiful and delicious.
Cara Pollard –
All cities we passed were great. Hanoi, Hoi an, Ho chi minh,… have their unique beauty. I love food so much. I can’t believe that I increase 2kg after this tour, I ate a lot because your country’s cuisine so tasty.
Thank you tour guide Hai suggested us many interesting food.

I appreciate and admire your country’s history. When we visit Hochiminh Complex and Hoa Lo Prison, tour guide told us many terrible stories of war.
I couldn’t believe that it’s just 50 years ago. Tour guide is knowledgeable and inspirational. He made me feel a small part of brutality of Vietnam war.
Loui Baxter –
We have nice memories from over all trip. When transfer from Hanoi to Halong, the weather was so hot and tour guide was willing to invite us Mia water, it’s really tasty.
Vietnam is heaven of cuisine. I love Vietnam so much.
Francesco Garrison –
This is the first time i came to Vietnam and it’s better than my expectation. I heard about Halong as heritage site before, but when I came there, I still was suprised at the beauty of this bay.
We were not only enjoyed the island but also participated many activities on cruise. I like most the Tai Chi session on the sundeck – a experience I’ve never tried before.
Zoe Romero –
Omg, the cuisine of Hanoi is so amazing with many strange foods. I tried “banh xeo” and “vermicelli with shrimp paste”. The smell of shrimp paste is crazy but i love it.
The staffs in Hanoi hotel are professional and helpful. I will miss this city so much.
Kaleb Connor –
Thanks to the support of Asia Legend Travel team, Mrs. Emma, Ms. Lisa. We were took care during the tour with good service in hotel, especially in Hue city. Hotel has the nice style and very clean, tasty food.
I like most “” banh bot loc””, a traditional cake of Hue as tour guide said. Besides, Hoi An Ancient town is so beautiful in yellow old houses.
We bought some handmade souvenirs, they’re so cute, I gave my friends as a gift, and they really like them.
Luna Cochran –
The highlight of tour is Cu Chi Tunnel. I couldn’t believe that your country had the fascinating history, and the war was terrible.
I tried firing a rifle at a firing range in Cu Chi Tunnel, that is an unforgettable experience.
Ashton Hess –
I still remember when we visit Ha Long, the weather was so hot, however inside Suprise Cave was very cool.
Tour guide Lien told us about the origin of this cave and some interesting stories. It’s so amazing.
