Can't recommend Navigator enough! Jurgie and Danni gave me and my family a real local experience in Vietnam that we'd never have gotten without them. We loved every recommendation for extra activities and local restaurants, and got to see some of the best, less touristy spots in the country. My favourite part was definitely driving the Ha Giang loop, it was incredible!

Simply the best travel experience I've ever had. If you want to see the real Vietnam, look no further than Jurgie and his team. They assisted us with everything we needed and fully customized the trip to our interests. 5 stars indeed! Navigator blew our minds with the hospitality and beauty of Vietnam. We'll most certainly be back.

From start to finish, our trip with Navigator was nothing short of incredible. Dani took care of every detail, making it the most seamless and enriching travel experience we've ever had. Cruising the waterways of Hoi An in the iconic coconut boats was such a fun, unique way to see the scenery, and sipping coffee inches from the tracks on Hanoi's Train Street was an unforgettable moment.

We can't recommend the team at Navigator enough, thanks to Jurgie and Danni who made our adventure so special. We just completed a 3-week tour, what an adventure! We fired an AK47 in the Cu Chi tunnels, cruised the Mekong, scuba dived in Hoi An and took a motorcycle trek from Da Nang to Hue over the famous Hai Van Pass.

Unbelievable 9 day experience in Vietnam, thanks to Jurgie Schoeman who showed us all of the most amazing attractions in the North. From the busy streets of Hanoi to the calm, misty mountains of Sapa. Extraordinary coffee and friendly culture. I'll definitely be back to explore the southern areas with Navigator. Go Jurgie!

Had the most amazing time in Vietnam. With the help of Navigator we could thoroughly enjoy the trip without worrying about where to go or when anything needed to happen, it was all planned beforehand. We saw the glamorous and the raw culture of the friendly people of Vietnam, much better than the big corporate tours. If you want an authentic experience, Navigator Vietnam is the way to go!

Fantastic experience exploring Vietnam with Navigator. Knowing very little about the country before arriving, they were able to put together an amazing itinerary, showcasing some of the most gorgeous sites Vietnam has to offer. The company is super flexible, taking all your needs into account to ensure a seamless stay and epic adventure. We would highly recommend choosing Navigator to enrich your experience in this stunning country.

Just returned from a magical three week trip through Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh to Sapa. We just told them which places we wanted to visit and they seamlessly did the rest, from putting together our itinerary to booking everything and arranging English and Vietnamese speaking guides. We did a Jeep tour in Hanoi, a coffee making masterclass, a boat ride through Trang An and the Hai Van Pass. Everything was organised and executed to the highest standard.

We used Navigator to assist with a six week film production throughout Vietnam and Jurgie was with us all the way as our production manager and fixer. He speaks fluent Vietnamese, always willing to help and walk the extra mile, but most importantly always generous and kindhearted towards everyone. A highlight of course was staying at their very own homestay in Ta Vanh.
