I loved this trip. I enjoyed every minute of it. Jose was a great guide. He was very informative. He made sure everyone was looked after. There was just enough touring and spare time. And David Solanes was brilliant. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
My 2 week group trip through Vietnam was nothing short of life changing. What started as an adventure with strangers quickly turned into a journey filled with friendships, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the serene mountains of Sapa, every single day was packed with incredible activities and meaningful moments that will stay with me forever.
It’s amazing how 2 weeks can transform a group of complete strangers into a tight-knit family. We bonded over shared experiences, late-night conversations, and laughter that echoed through every city we visited. Whether we were learning to cook traditional Vietnamese dishes in Sapa or hiking through the misty mountains of Sapa, every moment felt special because we experienced it together.
But none of this would have been possible without Chris. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the hands of someone truly passionate about Vietnam. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his knowledge of the country—its history, culture, and local traditions—added so much depth to our experience. He didn’t just show us the typical tourist spots; he led us through hidden gems that most travelers never get to see.
The activities were absolutely amazing. The cooking class in Sapa complete with the best view was a highlight—learning how to make fresh spring rolls and other local dishes from local chefs, followed by a delicious meal that we all shared together, felt so authentic. But the real adventure came in Sapa. Trekking through the terraced rice fields with the mist rolling in, we were surrounded by breathtaking views that seemed straight out of a postcard.
Throughout the trip, Chris was more than just a leader—he became a friend to each of us. His sense of humor, care, and genuine passion for his country made every experience more meaningful. Whether it was cracking jokes during long bus rides or patiently helping us navigate new environments, he made sure we felt supported and safe at every step of the way.
By the time we reached our final destination, it was hard to believe that only two weeks had passed. What started as a group of strangers became a circle of friends with memories we’ll cherish forever. The friendships I made on this trip, along with the activities and experiences that were curated so thoughtfully, made this Vietnam adventure one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

This tour was a great trip that was personalised as it was done in small numbers. I particularly enjoyed the choice of food places, as we were able to enjoy traditional foods, including street food, that we would not have known about otherwise.

The hotels and planed activities were great, transportation as well. I saw a lot in this trip and had lots of great new experiences. What I did not expect was that most of the group would be spanish speakers and the english speakers to be a small minority. Also the tour guides were pretty mixed. Btw I can’t really rate them since only the spanish speaking guides are showing up In general I had the feeling that the native spanish speaking guides were interacting more with the spanish group and a bit less with the english group. It seemed otherwise with the native Japanese guides Akane and Ken, but it might be due to the small english group on the trip compared to the spanish speakers.
Also some guides like “Pacco” or Miguel gave us very little background Information to the visited sites compared to other guides. But I was really happy with our Guide Ken whom I had for most of the trip, so I don’t feel bad about it.
Thank you very much for a great time

This was an amazing experience. Every detail was planned well and spot on for a "wellness" tour. Starting with the CEO, down to the lodging, available food, and wrapping up with the activities planned. Just the right amount of "down time" too. Would highly recommend.

We could not have been happier with our trek with this local travel specialist. The hike around the Manaslu mountain range was absolutely gorgeous, the scenery was breathtaking and much more diverse than we expected. For days, we walked through all kinds of jungle and rainforests - we even saw some wild monkeys, all while the mountains were towering above us in the distance. We walked beneath massive waterfalls and crossed suspension bridges hundreds of meters above the roaring mountain river that the path follows along.
The acclimatization time for the altitude was perfect on this trek, and when we reached the higher mountains we could really enjoy the breathtaking landscape. Seeing Manaslu tower 5000m above you when you are already at over 3000m elevation makes you feel small in the best way possible. In the high mountains we saw dozens of eagles and hundreds of yaks.
The daily hikes were not too long, but still challenging on some days, the perfect distances to keep it interesting but not too exhausting.
What made this trek extremely pleasant more than anything else was our guide Lok. With his funny and open-minded nature he made even the strenuous passages of the trek feel enjoyable. He not only gave us a lot of insights about the trek and the mountains of Nepal but also brought us closer to Nepal's culture and history. Sharing our experiences with other trekkers we met along the way made us even more aware of how lucky we were to have Lok. Through his years of experience he knew all the tricks and always got us the best rooms, just for example. He also responded to our wishes on a daily basis and we were able to shape the trek individually. When one of us was not feeling well and Lok could not find anything suitable in his large first aid kit, he went above and beyond to scout out the pharmacies in every village until the necessary medicine was found.
After returning from the trek, he gave us recommendations for the shops with the best quality for the best prices, which was also very helpful considering the overwhelming number of mountaineering stores in the city.
We booked a porter for the trip and we were so glad we did. Being able to pack that extra sweater or pair of socks at altitude is more than worth it. Our porter was very pleasant and always there to help in the guesthouses.
We had an amazing time and we will definitely be back to do another trek with Lok and this local travel specialist!
First time with G Adventures and couldn’t fault a thing. Special thanks also to the CEO who spent the day at the hospital with me helping with my mum on 1st March he was amazing too
