TOUR ITINERARY

Wendy Wu Tours Review: "This was an excellent opportunity to understand the history and the people of Vietnam.

The tour was enhanced by the excellent knowledge of the tour guide and the great bunch of people on the tour. The National Guide, Thom, went to great lengths to ensure we had an enjoyable time. The accommodation was good and the local style meals were excellent.

I would certainly recommend WW Tours to anyone wishing to go to Vietnam. Overall, a great tour!"
