    Absolutely brilliant guide in Vu. She was very informative, efficient, caring and has a great sense of humour - I want to choose my next tour wherever she will be the guide! The visits we were taken on were very good and ethical which I liked very much. Everything went smoothly, it was exciting, the fellow travellers were lovely. One thing I would suggest however is that on arrival in Hue after an overnight train journey it would be a better idea to find something cool (temperature-wise!) to do rather than walk around the Forbidden City in the heat while waiting to book into our hotel; we were all exhausted. Otherwise everything was terrific and I will certainly book again with G Adventures.

    The tour was interesting (and our CEO absolutely great), but most of the activities were not included and were ridiculously overpriced if compared to local pricing/salaries. We ended up spending way too much considering the level of transportation and accommodation, and the fact that we were in a developing country.

    We really enjoyed the tour, but found the boat (Halong Bay) and the train (from Hanoi to Hue) a difficult experience owing to lack of sleep.

    This was my second G Tours experience and just as wonderful as the first (in norther India) Our CEO Son Pham was a legend. His knowledge and passion for his job and Vietnam was undeniable. He was very helpful to all on the tour and he went above and beyond! Thank you

    Morgan

    Asked on May 31st, 2024

    The itinerary says that the transportation on the 8th day is to fly from Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City, drive to Da Nang, and then fly to Ho Chi Minh City, but the transportation below only says to fly from Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City. Isn't the correct route HCMC→Fly→HoiAn→Drive→Da Nang→HCMC?

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      Danang is the closest airport to Hoi An, so you would drive from Hoi An to Danang airport to catch the flights to Ho Chi Minh City

  • J

    Jerry
