    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!
