I really loved to just enjoy Vietnam in a group of strangers without having to plan anything. The strangers quickly became friends.

I absolutely loved my trip to Vietnam with Gadventures. As someone who has never traveled solo to Asia before I never imagined how this group would make it such an amazing experience which I will never forget. Will definitely be booking again for next year

Vietnam is an incredible country with countless places to explore and G adventures allowed us to see so much of this incredible places in the short space of time.

I had an amazing time! We saw a lot in a short amount of time, really fun group and our ceo went above and beyond to take care of us.

Life changing experience, meeting people from around the world who otherwise would not cross paths. Everyone is at the same level not caring about people’s backgrounds or what they’re wearing which is a very unique opportunity in today’s society.
05/28/2024
It was beyond my expectations.
05/13/2024
This trip was exactly the thing i was looking for - fun people, great activities and also some free time. I was able to experience vietnam in a way i wouldn‘t have been able to if i went by myself.

Greate people and CEO on our Tour. Since there was often only one overnight stay in the places, this made the program very strenuous. After an overnight train, the day should be more relaxed and with little/no program.

I had a phenomenal solo trip with some amazing people, would do it all over again
03/25/2024
Amazing! Wouldn’t be able to organise anything like this on my own! I loved every minute
03/18/2024
The tour was very well organised and everything worked perfectly. In my opinion, many of the shared meals are not included in the price and the optional activities are very expensive. All in all, I really enjoyed the tour.
03/18/2024
It‘s a really nice experience and good opportunity to travel in a group. If you don‘t want to organize everything yourself, g adventures is the perfect solution! Our CEO was lovely and she was always there for us.

the tour was really fun experience
03/13/2024
Extremely well organised tour with just the right amount of fixed activities and days off with time on your own or optional activities on the itinerary.
03/06/2024
I had a truly amazing time on the tour. For me, the level of activities was perfect. I liked that almost every destination had an included activity as well as free time, it made me feel like I'd got good value for money on the tour
03/03/2024
I was so anxious to go on this trip as I had never traveled abroad before. I am so glad I did. The people I met were incredible and I hope to keep them as friends. The CEO was too tier. I look forward to more G Adventures in the future.

Intense tour as advertised - you will see many things in short time, from culture, street food, over temples, local life to nature, beaches and big cities. I had a great time, got a lot of impressions and eased into the (especially coffee) culture.
02/18/2024
The tour was great, as it allowed us to see many cities and places within 2 weeks. However, the itinerary was quite intense and demanding energy-wise. If your goal is to relax, probably this tour is not for you.
02/17/2024
I had such an incredible time on this trip, the group of people we got to meet and share it with really made it for us, as well as Joe who was the best guide ever. I cannot say thank you enough to Joe for looking after us so well.

I had a blast during my 16 days on G adventures! Our trip leader and everyone in our group was super friendly and fun! We saw so many different parts of Vietnam in such a short time frame! I will have these memories with me forever!
