    It was an indescribable 12-day trip to Vietnam! Thanks in large part to Danny, we have so many wonderful and fun travel memories. He was always there for us, gave us plenty of information about the country and the culture, but above all, his friendly, funny, and helpful nature made it unique. The organization was perfect! There were so many highlights on the trip: My favorite was Train Street, but also Hoi An with its cute boats. The cooking class was also great, and the homestay with an impressive view. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

    This was my first group trip as a frequent solo traveller and it was the best travel experience I've had to date. The itinerary was jam-packed with so many adventure and culture-focused activities that I would not have been able to experience if I did this trip on my own. Our guide, Danny, was absolutely amazing - as a Vietnamese local he was able to share a lot about the food and culture, and he brought a lot of energy and humour to the trip that made it so much more fun. The highlights of the trip were experiencing rural Vietnam at the homestay, and surprising catching the sleeper train as this was definitely something to experience. I would definitely book another tour with One Life Adventures again in the future.

    A magical interlude in Vietnam ✨ This 12-day trip to Vietnam will long remain etched in my memory. Even if the first few days were a little rainy, that was part of the charm and adventure, and nothing could have tarnished this unique experience. Every day was intensely rhythmic: between cultural visits, local activities and moments of sharing, we didn't have a second to get bored - and that was great! What really made all the difference was our guide, Danny. Always attentive, caring and ready to help us at any time, he made this adventure even smoother and more rewarding. His advice was invaluable, especially when it came to making the most of our free time and organizing our little extras. Thanks to him, everything seemed simple, even in a country so different from our own. Memories come flooding back: playing Da Cau in Saigon, making eco-bricks, cycling through the narrow streets of Hoi An, discovering Vietnamese cuisine, hiking in Pu Luong, sailing on Ha Long Bay... It was a total immersion, authentic and full of emotions. Thank you Danny for your smile, your passion and your invaluable guidance. This trip wouldn't have been the same without you.

    The tour was awesome. It covered a wide variety of activities and sights. My highlights were the jeep tour with lunch at a waterfall and kayaking into Hoi An. Our tour guide Danny led the group well and adjusted the tour according to our group and the weather.

    Honestly, this tour was the best way to see Vietnam. Great mix of activities and free time and exploring local spots. Danny was amazing with our group, always had the best recommendations for coffee, lunch or activities in our free time. In 12 days you really get to see see and experience so much. Highly recommend!

    Perfect tour if you want to see all the major cities of Vietnam. The whole tour is so well organised making life so easy for travellers, even with recommendations for how to spend your free time if you want it! Our tour guide Danny was so much fun, super approachable - answering all of our questions, very patient - especially when we forgot stuff, and his passion and knowledge about Vietnam made everything more special. It’s hard to pick favourites, but I loved kayaking in Hoi An, riding in a jeep to Hue, staying in the jungle in Pu Luong and swimming in Halong Bay. I would highly recommended this tour!

    The tour was very well organized. My personal highlights were the cooking class and the overnight stay at the homestay. All the activities were fun, but they were also optional, so you could skip them if you wanted to explore on your own.

    Asked on February 5th, 2025

    Is the guide for this tours always local? Because I made a OneLifeAdventure Tour in Japan before and the guide was from England. And I think that's a huge difference and much better, if the guide is originially from the country we visit. And do we use Whatsapp with a group chat to communicate or Facebook Messenger while the tour?
