Guest Reviews

Experiences shaped with care, shared by our travelers

I recently went on two tours (Mai Chau and Yen Tu mountain) which were organized by DCT responsible travel. Both tours were excellently organized, with a good balance of enriching activities (where I learned about Vietnamese cultures and lifestyle) and free time, which allowed me to relax and travel at a leisurely pace. I would recommend DCT to anyone who wants to learn and experience authentic Vietnamese culture

Traveler from Germany

Everything was perfectly organized, from the overnight bus from Hanoi to accommodation in a homestay with an incredibly kind family. We went on a motorbike tour to the rice fields and do trekking. Our guide, Nung, went above and beyond to take care of us and even showed us her home. Everyone made the trip an unforgettable experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Traveler in Mu Cang Chai

I was lucky to get very well organized daily private tours in Sapa, with local guides to remote villages and markets I could not imagine that they still exist. Vivid places with people from ethnic minorities in their local dresses, colorful and truly amazing. DCT Responsible Travel organized with a lot of skill and passion and made it an unforgettable experience.

It was a journey that left a lasting impact on my heart. The dedication of this tour operator to responsible and sustainable tourism is truly commendable.
