The first was before COVID, and I had such a blast that I decided to try a different tour on my recent visit. Went on the Red River Bike Tour and it was awesome! Our guide, Minh, is the nicest guy ever and SO knowledgeable. He made the entire experience so much fun, his bikes are really nice, and the entire day was super smooth. I highly recommend!"

However, we strive to ensure that you have a transparent view of the major components that contribute to the overall cost of your trip. We can provide you with a breakdown of the cost for the land tour, accommodations, and flights included in your package.

At AnyTrails, we are dedicated to providing you with ongoing support and assistance throughout your travels. While we excel at resolving issues related to accommodations, tours, and transportation, we have limited options to directly assist you in matters of health. Travel insurance offers you the peace of mind you need in case you encounter an injury or illness during your adventures. In fact, with the right plan, you can even be covered for trip cancellation due to circumstances such as loss of childcare, unemployment, or illness before your trip begins. It only takes a quick search to find the best insurance plan that suits your needs. By having travel insurance, you can protect yourself financially from unforeseen medical expenses, trip interruptions, or other emergencies that may arise during your journey. It is a valuable investment that ensures you can focus on enjoying your trip with the knowledge that you have coverage and support if the unexpected occurs. We strongly recommend considering travel insurance as an essential part of your travel planning. It provides you with comprehensive coverage and peace of mind, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your travel experiences. When Do I Get My Confirmation? Once you are ready to embark on your adventure, we strive to send your travel confirmations promptly within 24-48 hours. To secure your bookings, we kindly request a $100.00 USD deposit, which will be applied towards the total cost of your itinerary. This deposit allows us to officially reserve your preferred hotels and activities, ensuring availability for your chosen dates. The best part is that we won't charge any additional fees for adding or modifying hotels or tours at a later date. You will only be responsible for the cost of the added accommodations or activities, which will be reflected in your final balance. We want to assure you that at AnyTrails, we are dedicated to providing prompt and efficient service. However, please note that our partners typically close at 5:00 p.m. and may have limited availability on weekends and holidays. If, for any reason, you do not receive a response from us within 24-48 hours, rest assured that we are working diligently to confirm your itinerary as soon as possible.

At AnyTrails, we understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we strive to provide you with the flexibility you need when it comes to canceling or modifying your trip. If you need to cancel a portion or the entire trip, we kindly ask that you notify us at least 30 days before your scheduled arrival date. This allows us to explore the best possible options for you and work with each service provider to minimize any potential cancellation penalties. While we will make every effort to negotiate on your behalf, we cannot guarantee that there won't be any penalties. This is why we strongly recommend considering trip insurance, as it provides an added layer of protection. In the event that you must cancel closer to your travel date, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We will do our utmost to assist you and explore the available options. Our team will negotiate with the service providers to minimize any cancellation penalties, but it's important to note that we cannot guarantee a penalty-free cancellation. This is why we highly recommend considering our Trip Postponement program, which allows you to reschedule your trip and preserve the maximum value of your bookings. Your satisfaction and convenience are our top priorities, and we are committed to working closely with you to find the best solutions in case of cancellation or modification. Feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your options and ensure a smooth process. LEARN MORE
