“Vietnam, a gastronomical paradise for those who love indulging in eccentric delicacies and a confluence of modernization and ethnic force for those who want to experience one of the oldest civilizations in the east. With the recent history of Vietnam War overbearing the colonial past, Vietnam is an interesting study of looking at the political narrative from western vs eastern perspective and surfaces the debate between aggression under the veil of ideology vs upholding the sovereignty of a nation.” – Nikita Bharadia.

“Vietnam has eternally always been combined with Cambodia as ONE travel itinerary, which honestly is unfair to both countries at so many levels! Vietnam deserves it's own itinerary, coz it's a country with the most beautiful chaos you will ever come across. I have travelled to 9 countries till now, but Vietnam has been a lesson, a perspective, a life changer. Someone once told me, with mucho sarcasm, "Travel doesn't cure the mind. It's all a myth. '' I couldn't agree with that person more, travel doesn't cure the mind, it cures your soul. You are all the same and never the same again, the soul changes and there is no escaping from that. That's what this trip did to me.” – Sneha Parhi.

“I had so many doubts before going to Vietnam regarding the food, language, people and weather. Was it really worth it? Aren't there better places to spend my ten days?I am so glad that I did go there, thanks to my friends who had already booked their flights for Hong Kong and wanted to take a trip together to a nearby country in SouthEast Asia. Lovely cafes, buzzing markets, friendly people, great customer service at hotels, beautiful towns/coast and all within budget!” – Nidhi Jakhodia.
