Although classed as level 1 adventure you do need to be fit. One day cycled 15kms, another climbed all 1100 steps up Lion Rock. You did not have to do these things but would have missed interesting fun experiences. I travelled with my sister. We are both in our early 70's and managed all the included activities. Enjoyed the age group varying from late teens upward.
This is truly one of the memory that I will keep forever, we had the chance to see many places and how Vietnamese used to live. I want to express my gratitude to all the guides and drivers we had, they were friendly, always punctual and very helpful. Should definitely recommend for Indochina traveling!!
My quibbles with this trip are very minor and I've told explore (update the itinerary please!) but fundamentally I loved this trip. Met lovely people. Saw amazing places and scenery. Food a bit meh but that's not why you go to either Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan. I loved the differences between the countries. Kyrgyzstan was unbelievably beautiful and Uzbekistan had amazing buildings.

This was a great trip with some special memories and a fun guide in Peanut, I felt safe throughout and didn’t have to worry about a single thing travel wise, this is a great way to have fun and travel stress free
Such a great trip. Vietnam is beautiful and the people are very friendly and the food is great. So much to see and do. Much more to Vietnam than all the war films would have you believe.
Prepare to witness one of the greatest cultures of the ancient world and its wonders. As you sail your felucca down the Nile there will be many more wonders to follow the beautiful Giza pyramids. Enjoy the stroll and make your way to Jordan. A fresh start but to a familiar culture. The amazing Petra awaits you before you jump in the Dead Sea.
We have seen the best historic, cultural sites of Cambodia and Vietnam. Our agent was great. She suggested everything so that it worked perfectly for us. She kept in touch with us on WhatsApp to make sure we were okay.
Journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City on an incredible two-week adventure in Vietnam. Discover the stately capital Hanoi, the lush hills of the Hoa Binh region, the limestone scenery of Cat Ba Island, the secrets of historic Hue, the UNESCO Heritage site of Hoi An, the white beaches of Quy Nhon, the waterways of the Mekong Delta and the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City. Explore not only the main highlights of the cities, but also the remote countryside, well away from the tourist crowds. A homestay in Sung Village, in the forest among caves and tea plantations, is a chance to trek through minority villages and experience Vietnam at its seldom-seen best.
Journeys: Iconic Thailand was a fabulous experience!!! We had the most wonderful tour guide (shout out to Natthanan Chai Yenklom--the very best!!!!) who looked after every detail and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for each person on the trip. I loved the varied activities--the home visit and cooking class in Chiang Mai; Ko Klang Island and Hong Island in Southern Thailand; and the amazing temples in Bangkok were particular highlights for me on the trip. I would do another National Geographic Journeys/G Adventures tour in the future!
