We chose Ethnic Travel for Ha Long Bay tour. We visited few tour operators in the Old Quarter and liked Ethnic's offer best. They promise to take you away from the crowds and they really do. First day was Bai Tu Long Bay. After 5 hr trip by minibus (good quality, with working seat belts) we boarded a junk boat... More

I cannot express in words how much we enjoyed travelling with ethnic travel. Hien was our guide for the entire journey and we miss her already. She was a real joy to travel with and has become a good friend over the four days travelling with Ethnic. If you read this: thank you very much for everything! On the first... More

We just got back from a 5 day Ha Giang Tour with Ethnic Travel (60s couple and 30s couple) and were completely happy with our experience. It was fantastic and exceeded our high expectations. Zu was our wonderful guide and really made the trip special for us. She is so lively and smart, fun and so easy to be with.... More

We chose Ethnic travel as they promised to give us a quieter experience than other tour companies. The tour was average for the price, and the guide, though pleasant offered little information. In the evening while we were waiting for dinner she just sat and watched television with the crew in the only comfortable seating area on the boat. During... More

We can absolutely recommend Ethnic Travel - you really get insights into Vietnam. We did the 2 day tour to Bai Tu Long Bay and the Sapa adventure trip. The tour to Bai Tu Long Bay was very well organized, the guide knowledgable and with excellent proficiency in english, the boot in good shape, the meals excellent, the homestay nice... More

Bored of mass tourism? „Ethnic Travel“ provides a different experience. Their oft-emphasized motto „We take you away from the crowds“ is more than a lip service. They offer a variety of tours (mainly in northern Vietnam), all of which, according to our experience and from what we have heard, keep this promise. The friendly manager and his tour guides all...

We took the 3-day Halong Bay/ Bai Tu Long Bay tour. Overall the tour was disappointing. The weather was terrible (not the tour company's fault, of course), the boat in Halong Bay was a bit cramped and grimy, and the drive to Bai Tu Long Bay was rather long. Despite these problems, I would rate this company highly because it... More

We booked a 3 day / 2 night Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay cruise and a 4 night / 3 day Sapa trek with Ethnic travel at their Hanoi office. We picked this company because they specialise in small group tours that provide insight into the real Vietnam. They also give back to the local communities through... More

We went last month and booked Sapa 3 days/4 nights and it was very nice! Our local guide was very good (her name is Nui =New) and we stayed at homestays. She did explain us about the region and the people. In the first homestay the food was great, the second a bit less but a very local experience. I... More
