    · July 24th, 2025
    I have never been to Asia before, and came to Vietnam to experience the culture and the people. Out your guide Danny made everything easy, communicating regularly as we went along and sharing his incredible knowledge at every step. I have never felt more welcomed or accommodated for as I have on this trip. Both my friend and I have disabilities, and so it is sometimes hard for us to keep up with the group and activities, but this has been well paced and we have loved every minute of it, and had the opportunity to rest when needed. Danny has truly been one of the best parts of the trip, he has been funny and made sure everyone has had the best experience possible. We love him, he is a legend!

    An absolutely amazing and jam packed tour, which truly allows you to see Vietnam! Our tour guide Danny, was fun, knowledgeable and great at making our group feel safe! His genuine passion and want for us to fully experience Vietnam and all it has to offer, was refreshing and made the trip 10 times better. All of the stops and destinations were well timed and made me feel that I have seen the Vietnamese culture and have been able to meet new people. Our group was so fun to experience this adventure with and I have made many memories! This is one of my favourite trips and destination so far. Thanks One Life and Danny.

    It's a good Vietnam tour for first visitors because you will see a lot in both touristic but also authentic way. The weather was not so good and it rained a lot during the tour, but we still made many adventurous expierences. I'd recommend it but in a different season.

    Thank you for your review Jeannine! The rainy season in Vietnam can definitely be wet and its an adventure in of itself, however we understand that it's not ideal for everyone. We hope you still were able to create some incredible memories.

    The tour was well paced and I would say we spent enough time in most places. We did a good mix between cultural experiences, nature and experiencing the daily life in the cities. The itinerary allowed for a good amount of free time and "add-on" stops that we could choose. Our guide Danny helped to show his homeland and encouraged ud to try and experience new things. He made sure that the tour went smoothly and we enjoyed us. Worth mentioning though is that there were quite a few places we only stayed one night in, which wasn't a problem for me, but some people might not like this

    This tour made me fall madly in love with Vietnam - the people, the food, the COFFEE! We had 9 people on our tour and it was the perfect size to get to know everyone and explore together in our free time. Our tour guide, Danny, knew all the best places and always had plenty of jokes to keep us all laughing. This was my second tour with OLA and I already can’t wait for the next one!
