- HHolly· October 24th, 2025The first 12 days of this tour is really fun. You pack so much in and all of the activities were highlights for me. I did things that I would never have thought to do like cycling in Hoi an and the cooking class in Hue. Miss Nhung, our guide, was so informative every step of the way and I wish she could have joined us in SaPa. The last three days were a little disappointing. Do not underestimate the hiking that is required. And compared to Nhung who was so informative and had information about everything, the guide in Sapa was not very talkative and it felt like she was walking us from A to B. Because of this sudden drop in communication it felt like we often did not know what was going on until it was happening and there was confusion with the Sapa homestay and the overnight trains.Show more

Amy· July 24th, 2025I 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!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for the lovely review Amy! We’re thrilled your first trip to Asia was such a memorable one.

- JZJeannine· June 25th, 2025It'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.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank 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.Trip date: June 2025
- JVJannis· May 30th, 2025The 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 thisShow moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Jannis!
