  Just returned from a 17 day tour from Hanoi to Mekong by plane, train, car, boat, bike & rickshaw. It was amazing and would recommend this company to all. You get to see the real Vietnam, also have the privilege of making a difference to a Vietnamese family by volunteering for them for 3 days. Mr T and Jane couldn’t have done anymore for us. If it wasn’t for Jane I would not have made the trip only having 5 months on my passport, god bless Jane. It was a good group of 16 solo, couples, sisters all making the trip worthwhile. Vietnam is a fantastic country, fabulous food, superb smoothies, magnificent markets, friendly locals, lots of sunshine and plenty to do. Highly recommend. 5 stars ⭐️

  We had a fabulous trip with Way to Travel just completed April 2024. From being met at the airport and delivered safely to our beautiful accommodation in Hanoi , our every need was considered and responded to by the incredible team of Jane the owner and Charlie our guide extraordinaire. We got to explore an astounding amount of sights and experiences each one different and culturally and historically rich. Charlie managed the large group admirably using his charming personality and humour but able to focus and deal with issues as they arose with calmness and professionalism. I always felt safe in his hands. The project was three days I will never forget and I feel proud of what we achieved as a team Vietnam I love you and I will be back. Thanks Jane and Charlie

  I just returned from the most magical, amazing trip to Vietnam with Way to Travel. I opted for the 17 day tour, and you will miss out on so much if you skip that part. Jane, the owner is so easy to work with and a lot of fun. Mr. T, our tour guide was one in a million. We had 18 people on our tour and he managed to run it without a flaw. His knowledge never ceased to amaze me, his stories of his life were humbling, and his sense of humor was unmatched. Someone in out group is starting a Mr. T Fan Club Facebook page. We had a very cooperative group, but there were still issues with people getting sick and he handled everything perfectly. I can’t even begin to tell you how many different excursions and activities we did. They covered it all and gave us an experience of a lifetime. They left no stones unturned. We fished, walked, did several different times of boats, trains, planes, biking, walking, different rickshaw rides, crafts, homestay excursions and way too many things to even begin to cover. If you want to really see and experience Vietnam, Way to Travel is who you want to go with. There were a few optional add ons during the trip that you could do, or opt not to. Many places take credit cards but we all spent more cash than anticipated. This isn’t a complaint, but everyone needs to know that a lot of the additional things we did we needed cash for. Mr T always showed us where to exchange our money if we needed to or find an ATM. He was able to find the answers to any questions that everyone or anyone from our group had.

  I could not have dreamt of a better way to experience Vietnam. The jam packed itinerary, the giving back project and the expert guidance from Mr T made this trip a one of a kind. From beginning to end the waytotravel team looked after every detail and constantly looked for ways to add value, provide an authentic experience and pass on their passion for their country and for helping their people. Thank you Jane and Mr T for this amazing experience!!

  Definitely a trip I will always remember! Our guide, Mr. T, was amazing ❤️ I recently finished the 17 day tour. My first time in Vietnam. All details were very well organized, accommodations were excellent and I always felt safe. Our give back tour was so special. We worked very hard for 3 days alongside local workers to provide a local family an updated kitchen, safe chicken coup, nice front yard space, a shower room and so much more! We traveled seamlessly from Hanoi all the way south to the Mekong Delta. All the small factories we visited opened our eyes to how hard the locals are working to make a living. I am so grateful for this experience. Have you considered a trip to Vietnam? Want to give back to a local family? Have a ton of fun and learn heaps about the culture of the country? Book now!

  From the minute I booked to the sad farewell with my new friends Way to Travel Vietnam never disappointed. Jane the tour organiser and Tuan our tour leader were ever so supportive and helpful. The timetable was action packed with many inclusions so proved good value. The highlight was undoubtedly the give back volunteer days. Vietnam is a beautiful country, with such gracious and friendly people and delicious food. We learnt a lot from our very knowledgeable tour guide. Do yourself a favour and don’t miss this wonderful travel opportunity.

  This trip for me was supposed to be a trip of a life time and it did not disappoint at all. It was truly filled with wonderful experiences from start to finish. Even the flood we experienced in Hue didn’t put a damper on the trip, it became part of the adventure. Our Tour leader Ngo “Mr T” was simply amazing. He shared his country with us and shared the love he has for it! I highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in Vietnam. There is a giving back component to the tour and we able to help a local family in Hue with improvements to their home that certainly changed their lives. It was an honour to be part of this service project if only for a few days. Thank you Jane and T!

  Activity packed trip. When the weather disagreed with the original plans, the organizers came up with other plans which were equally valuable. Accommodations were comfortable and very clean and surpassed y expectations. The food was delicious! And our guide… Mr. T. is an extremely knowledgeable person who willingly and enthusiastically shares his knowledge about his country. He is a kind hearted, generous person who is an amazingly ambassador for Way to Travel! Loved this trip, love the principles and goals of this company. Jane and T are absolutely wonderful hosts. ?

  A quick Google search will offer so many holiday options promising the opportunity to see the ‘real’ Vietnam. Having just come back from this 17-day trip with Way to Travel, I can’t recommend travelling with them highly enough. This was my first visit to Vietnam and, thanks to them, I wasn’t disappointed. The itinerary looked really interesting, starting in the North, travelling through the centre and then on to the South (I opted for the bolt on to Saigon and the Mekong) but the trip itself is so much more than the itinerary suggests. Yes, it includes time in the usual tourist hotspots that you’d expect to visit (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh city) but the number of additional activities, squeezed in wherever possible, really allow you to get under the skin of this beautiful country. Jane Hanoi and Tuan (the indefatigable Mr T) have clearly put an enormous amount of thought into this trip to help guests really understand the history, culture, cuisine and a way of life that would undoubtedly be missed on a regular package-type tour. Mr T is one of the best guides I’ve ever met – enthusiastic, patient, calm, knowledgeable, kind, good humoured, organised, generous and so passionate about the history of Vietnam. From having to juggle the itinerary following unexpected weather challenges (a storm warning in Ha Long which sadly resulted in the cancellation of our overnight cruise and severe flooding in Hue which caused us to be stranded on the overnight train for six hours!), to recommending restaurants and activities for our free time and helping us through any issues or challenges that arose, Mr T was just incredible, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible time. The highlight of the trip for me was the ‘Do Something Small, Change Something Big’ community giving project in Hue. The flooding impacted this too but once again, Mr T came up with a solution to maximise our time on the project so that we were able to achieve what had been planned. Thanks again Mr T and Jane for this wonderfully authentic experience – it was all I hoped it would be and more. I have no doubt that Way to Travel will go from strength to strength. With very best wishes to you and your families.
