    This trip was a scam, I’d recommend going with a different tour company. They treated us like atms - squeezing every last drop of cash out of us. We booked as a couple, and requested the double bed option but we’re still made to re book a shared room and pay at each leg. The hostels were dirty, beds full of hair and bugs. The guide ran a tipping scam. The only places we were taken were complete tourist traps and our Halong bay leg was cancelled due to typhoon (fair) but no refund was offered or given. We left the group two days early as we could no longer handle the feeling of being used. Our honeymoon was ruined and we’re both pretty traumatised by the whole experience. Don’t let yourselves fall into the same trap.

    I felt absolutelt cheated of my money coming on this tour. I spent approximately 900€ for 11 days and almost no activities are included in the price. The two or three that are were extremely mediocre and each day there was an optional activity that cost you about 25-30 USD. They engage in false advertising if you ask me. The pace of the tour was also too fast, not allowing enough time in each place. We felt constantly pressured to tip the drivers, tour guides etc. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS YOU WANT TO BURN YOUR MONEY

    Absolutely incredible. Best holiday I’ve done in my life. Tried One Life and Contiki (for other places) and not as good. The tour was at just the right place and a huge benefit was that because we used 3 sleeper trains, we could go to sleep in one location and wake up in another without waisting transport time, so we had lots of time to

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Vietnam with G Adventures! Our guide, Chenda was absolutely amazing and was there to provide assistance at every stage. Chenda also did a great job of providing recommendations at each stop of the tour to ensure we got the most out of our experience. The trip allowed us to see all of Vietnam, visiting all of the attractions we wanted to see, including the Golden Hands bridge which was not on the itinerary! We also tasted some amazing food and drinks, met some amazing people and made some brilliant memories! The local guides used by G Adventures were also great. They were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I liked having local guides who understood the history of Vietnam and had witnessed it at first hand. The only thing I would say which could be improved is the combining of different groups from different trips. It makes it harder for different sets of people to integrate and also makes it harder at the end when some of the group depart and others join to replace them. I have never had this on other tours and really don’t think it works well for those on the tour. However this is a very minor point and didn’t affect our overall experience - 10/10!

      The October 8th departure has 5 request spots. This tour is on request now, which means that we have released the space for our suppliers to use, if someone request the tour, we have to take full payment and our local team will go to every hotel, activity, transfer etc.. and request space, if we are able to get it secured then we will confirm, it usually takes 2 - 4 business days. So it's not guaranteed that's why it's on request.
