Great travel partners! Through Stubborn Mule (our UK travel advisers) they helped deliver a superb tour throughout Vietnam. Their organisation, transfers and guides were the best we have experienced! We requested to hotels in Hoi An and they gave us options and arranged the transfer all within two hours. Very accessible though WhatsApp and friendly and professional. Specific thanks to Thuy Vu and Le Hang!

Footprint tailored my tour, from where I wanted to go, to what I wanted to do. They booked travel, hotels & rented gear for me. We had a local tour guide from each region. I didn't have to worry about anything, but enjoy the ride.
