Picturesque Solo Vietnam Tour
My wife and I were just back from this self drive experience and won't forget this trip. The fact that it is self drive means we were able to go wherever we wanted to at our own pace but on a well planned itinerary by the team. The team pre and during the tour has been great. I finally made my wife see the Eiffel Tower and we enjoyed our sweet time in coffee shops in Paris. During the drive through the Loire Valley we stopped to enjoy local wines. We have created some beautiful memories on this trip. Our car, we named it Jen supported us well throughout the trip. Our hotel was both convenient and comforatble. We really enjoyed the freedom to stop on a whim and explore local hidden gems along the scenic drives. The views on a roadtrip in france are really to die for! Couldn't believe a place can be this beautiful. All in all I thought the tour had had the perfect balance. It’s the perfect option for couples looking for an in-depth, independent experience throughout France.

An unbelievably great experience traveling with Indus in Vietnam. We were met at the airport by their english speaking guide. Over the next two weeks we had a great visit. Travel was by bus, ship and airplane around the country. The bus drivers were great. Guides were personable and knew the area. We had multiple included meals and they all were great. We saw Vietnam from Hanoi to the Mekong Delta. Overall a trip of a lifetime.
