This was a perfect whistle stop tour to ticket of many bucket list places and activities. The itinerary was the perfect variety of activity and chill / self explore time. I highly recommend this tour. Jay was incredibly organised, always keeping us updated and shared so much local knowledge that I will cherish. Thank you Jay for everything!!
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.
A fantastic experience. Minty, our CEO, was absolutely wonderful. The variety of activities and cultural activities experiences was perfect. So was downtime on beaches and lakes. Can’t wait to book my next G Adventures tour!
The Philippines is a dream destination for a reason. Renowned for having some of the world’s best beaches, this stunning archipelago offers so much more than white sand and turquoise waters. Start your adventure with a foodie tour of vibrant Manila, then head into the jungle to connect with an Indigenous community dedicated to reforestation and sharing their culture with travelers. Venture off-road to the lush Avatar Gorge, a breathtaking canyon that lives up to its cinematic namesake. In Palawan, glide along the enchanting Puerto Princesa subterranean river, then unwind in El Nido with two days of snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. With a built-in crew of travel mates ready to join you, the Philippines is calling you to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
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
