“Five days, and a night on the water in the middle of it. That is the shortest trip I would call a proper taste of the north.”

Prajakta and Sneha

We wanted a very special trip – a honeymoon made up for 25 years later. Vietnam and Cambodia were exactly that. We felt like we were in a dream: inspiring, educational and delicious. I will not forget a single minute of it.

Apporva

We had a wonderful time in Vietnam. Thanks to the excellent organisation by Hi Tours and the local partner we could really enjoy the trip and hardly had to worry about anything, while still having time for spontaneous activities. The advice before the trip was great too.
