My wife and I have just finished the most amazing tour – the Central Highlands in Vietnam. We went by car with driver and English speaking tour guide, starting in Saigon and ending in Hoi An. The guide will show you an entirely different side of Vietnamese life. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and answers all of your question from anything to farming, silk, politics and the lives of all the countless ethnic minority groups. Our favorite part of the trip was lunch and dinner. We would order the food and it would be an absolute feast. Such a good feeling! It’s difficult to summarize such an experience, so our best advice would be – do it!
Vietnam est le plus beau pay, c’est la premier fois, moi et ma famille, on visite ce pay. J’ai réservé le tour avec Dalattrip et j’étais vraiment content du service. Surtout, M. Tien était notre guide touristique. Il nous a accompagne pendant 7 jours au Vietnam. Il parle super bien l’anglais avec beaucoup d’expériences. Nous avons passé Ho Chi Minh ville, Dalat et surtout Buon Ma Thuot, la capitale du café au Vietnam. Ca me plait beaucoup car j’ai vu beaucoup de choses au Vietnam. Les gens sont tres aimables et nous avons goutes beacoup de specialités Vietnamiens. Surtout, un grand merci pour Dalattrip a nous aide pour l’excursion au Vietnam et aussi M. Tien, un super guide touristique.
We are so glad we took this journey with my tour guide Mr. Le from Dalat Trip Jsc. Besides my driver is a very safe and we had no concerns whether in city traffic or on the open road. We travelled in the comfort of a car so were unconcerned by a few tropical downpours on the way.
He helped us find suitable lodgings and food stops along the way. Mr Le spoke great English and we had some fine conversations about differences between Vietnam and our own country. We made a strong personal connection with Mr Le which was an unexpected bonus. Mr Le was also knowledgable about minority villages and poor communities. We bought 60 notebooks and pens in Dalat before we left and were able to distribute these to delighted children in the hills. If we had twice as many, that would have been better. These make great donation items. Don’t buy lollies.
We covered 1000km in the seven days and can thoroughly recommend Mr Le and Dalat Trip Jsc for any other travellers who want to get off the tourist trail for a taste of the real Vietnam.
