Responsible tourism

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

We have built strong links with local communities, craftspeople and artisans. We offer visitors an opportunity to meet them, thereby valuing their activities and thus helping towards their survival. For example, by spending the night in a Dao ethnic minority hamlet, you'll be supporting one of our local partner communities in Sapa.

Wherever possible, we contract local indigenous suppliers and assist them to improve the quality of their services. By booking this tour, you'll be helping us to support Vietnamese service providers, artists and performers, small businesses, boat owners and other poor people in communities throughout Vietnam.

We use local freelance guides with wide experience and knowledge of cultural traditions and an ability to interpret the cultural heritage of the people in the places visited. For this tour, you'll have two or three different guides from various provinces of Vietnam.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

We tried to decide this as a family and it was all so good it was hard so here is a selection:- The food - absolutely delicious everywhere we went, even the meal cooked by our guide in a Tay minority homestead where we ate with the family and drank rice wine welcome shots. Phu Quoc Mango Bay resort - peaceful, eco-friendly, lots of options. The scenery - highlights, Mount Fan Xi Pan from Sapa and Halong Bay.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Go for as long as you possibly can - we saw a lot in 2 weeks both North and South but there was much more we didn't have time to do. The planning was great and everything was so well organised and timed that we came back feeling really relaxed.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?

I am not sure about minimal impact on the environment (hard when you fly places) but I do feel/hope there was some benefit for local people. Our guides were all really excellent and we learnt a lot about the country from them.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

One of the best vacations we have had (rated THE best by our accompanying sons - aged 16 and 19).
