Realistic Asia - Vietnam Foodie’s Paradise in 10 days The structure of this tour is a bit different. The company organizes the accommodation, transfers and a food tour in each city, plus Mekong Delta day tour and two-day Halong Bay trip with overnight on a boat. You are not with a group of other travelers and there is plenty of free time to organize other activities to suit your own interests. I chose to add a day at the start and end of the trip, which was facilitated by the company. My experience was a little disappointing as the food tour in Hoi An was cancelled due to heavy rain and the two-day trip to Halong Bay was cancelled due to strong winds. I also got food poisoning when I arrived in Hanoi so I had to cancel the Hanoi food tour as well. None of these events were the fault of the tour company, though be aware that any refunds you are owed are paid to you in cash (USD or VD) before you leave - they will not refund to your credit card. The accommodation in each city (I did the 4 star option) was conveniently located, comfortable and clean (Alagon D’Antique in Saigon, Le Pavillon Gallery in Hoi An and Aurora Premium in Hanoi). Transfers arrived on time and pickups from airports were smooth. Mr Brian quickly arranged alternative accommodation for one night in Hanoi after the Halong Bay tour was cancelled (Tirant Hotel - very nice!) and checked in with me throughout the tour to check all was going well. Be aware that the food tour in Saigon is on the back of a scooter. This isn’t clear in the itinerary- a slightly terrifying experience in Saigon traffic but good fun. Other activities I did which I recommend: Saigon: Girl Power Saigon by Night tour - all girl team who take you on the back of their scooters - excellent experience - some overlap with where we went on the food tour but better overall. AO show at opera house - do the VIP option for the best view. Cu Chi tunnels day trip. Hoi An: lantern making class - great wet weather option and Gioan cooking class - fantastic experience.
