The perfect adventure doesn’t exi—oh wait, actually… it does! Picture this: spending a night on a boat in stunning Ha Long Bay, wandering the charming streets of Hoi An, diving into authentic local life in Chi Phat, and kicking back on the white sands of Koh Rong. Now add a crew of solo travellers all looking to widen their community of travel mates. Sound pretty perfect? Yeah, we thought so too.
The trip was absolutely incredible! Every city we visited was excellent, and the entire experience was so much fun and perfectly planned. Our trip leader, Hai, was the best thing that could have happened to us—truly amazing and incredibly professional. Highly recommend!
I will look back on my trip in Vietnam fondly. I met incredible people (both my fellow travellers and locals), had once-in-a-lifetime experiences and learned so much about the Vietnamese culture. I am grateful to G Adventures and the CEOs for all of their hard work. It allowed me to enjoy this beautiful place without any stress. I look forward to traveling with G Adventures in the future :)
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.

Exceptional blend of activities that gave me a sense that I saw Vietnam up close. Great food, indepth exposure to the culture on the motorbike tours and overnight train. Thanh was energetic & kind throughout which was infectious and kept our group happy & optimistic
My journey through China and Vietnam was nothing short of amazing. From breathtaking landscapes to rich cultural experiences, every moment was a discovery. In China, I explored ancient wonders and modern marvels, while Vietnam offered me warmth, flavor, and unforgettable trails. Even when my knee gave me trouble, my guide’s kindness turned a challenge into a highlight. And the photos—wow. I came back not just with souvenirs, but with stories, gratitude, and a heart full of adventure." Thank you Tom,Nam and Luan.
It was a really enjoyable trip. We covered alot of ground, saw many areas of Vietnam in a short period of time and saw some wonderful sights along the way. Our tour leader was excellent. He was so enthusiastic and he gave us indepth information about the many places and sights we visited. He looked after us so well. It really was a memorable trip. Highly recommended.
