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.

The. Itinerary was comprehensive and diverse.. It covered the many cultural and historical aspects of Thailand but also included many experiences that were very entertaining as well educational all of which helped to understand and value the rich culture of the country. We loved our guide , having traveled extensively, she was by far the best combination of organization, fraternity, education, gastronomy, cultural immersion and fun, fun, fun! Best guide in an absolutely treasure of a country.
