I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an 8 day tour of Vietnam, organized by DGB Travel, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Day 1 3: Central Vietnam Da Nang and Hoi An Our adventure began in the vibrant city of Da Nang, where we were greeted with stunning beaches and rich culture. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to explore the famous Marble Mountains and the beautiful My Khe Beach. Next, we traveled to Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The ancient town was a highlight of our trip, with its charming streets, lantern lit evenings, and delicious local cuisine. We enjoyed a cooking class that was both fun and informative, thanks to our wonderful guide. Day 4 8: Ninh Binh and Halong Bay After Central Vietnam, we made our way to Ninh Binh, often referred to as “Halong Bay on land.” The breathtaking landscapes of limestone karsts and lush rice paddies were mesmerizing. We took a boat ride through the Tam Coc caves, which was a serene and picturesque experience. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly Halong Bay. The overnight cruise allowed us to soak in the stunning views of the emerald waters and towering cliffs. The crew was attentive, and the meals were delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine. Exceptional Service from DGB Travel A special mention goes to our host, Julia, who was incredibly supportive throughout our journey. Her knowledge and passion for Vietnam made our experience even more enriching. She was always available to answer our questions and ensure that we were comfortable and enjoying our trip. Highly Recommended! Overall, our 8 day tour with DGB Travel was a remarkable experience filled with adventure, culture, and breathtaking scenery. I wholeheartedly recommend DGB Travel to anyone looking to explore Vietnam. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Thank you, DGB Travel, for an unforgettable journey!

Amazing Trip
As a solo female traveler, I found this experience to be the perfect solution for exploring parts of the world that I previously felt insecure about. Indochina Today Travel provided exceptional support every step of the way. Our guide, Bao, was truly outstanding, and I appreciated the dynamics of the group, which allowed me to make some wonderful new friends!

The boat, the crew and the vibe were really good to have a nice vacation
Ha Long Bay: you need to see this when you are in (Northen) Vietnam. Beautiful view of limestones and caves. The Sung Sot cave is amazing. The boat, the crew and the vibe were really good to have a nice vacation. There is a lot of walking here. I have never heard of Titop Island before, but you can go swimming or trekking to above to see the view over the bay and boats. The weather was perfect. I wish the cruise company good luck with their business, because they are doing great with their service and food
