Hi this is Pushpa from Bengaluru, Karnataka My first International trip with trip and tales to Vietnam 2025 was more than a vacation. It was a journey of personal growth. We had an amazing experience with Shreya (Trip lead). From the moment the tour started, it was well organised, kept everyone engaged and answered every question with patience and insight. If you are thinking about taking your first international trip, go for it. Its an investment in memories and perspective that will stay with you forever. Thank you Shreya Pinakin GodboleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good set of people, Sherya our trip leader was amazing… in all a great experience Shivani RanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the opportunity to visit Vietnam this May 2025. We explored many places and covered many activities. Thanks to our trip leader Shreya...we had a lot of fun and explored the new culture. The package was very well worth it. Our stay at all three places was very top notch and close to the walking street which made it super convenient for us. Other than the activities booked in the package Shreya helped and guided us throughout and gave many suggestions which helped in making the trip more enjoyable. She helped us with any urgent matters also. Overall she was like a friend. Very professional at the same time. All in all the trip was very well planned and executed. Only taking memories from them and will definitely book with them next time!!!!
