  Hannah was brilliant in planning and managing our tour, with every detail perfect. The tour highlights for us were Monkey mountain, Hoi An old town river boats with candles and the citadel in Hue. We felt completely looked after every moment with each tour guide and would highly recommend this to those who want to see central Vietnam.Show more

  This is sold as a trip where you are likely to be in a group of like minded people for the duration- this simply isn’t true. What happened in my case was I was expected to join a different group each day and do day tours. NONE of my group could speak English and they were in family units. For there sakes as much as mine (Can you imagine how challenging the group meals would be when they are trying to communicate with me- so as a solo I don’t feel like an outsider) I withdrew from the five day experience after one hour when it became clear that I would be joining another entirely different group tomorrow and the same the day after! It is marketed and sold as ‘a chance to make real lasting friendships’ - this cannot be true given you are simply pushed into one group then another day after day. I spent a significant amount of money joining this trip outside of the cost of the trip itself. All wasted. Reading the website they celebrate being a customer focused ethical organisation. If they were they would make it clear that the tours are simply day trips bolted together with no thought into the potential compatibility of those you may be sharing the experience with. On top of this …the first day was marred by quite significant lateness and a tour guide whose grasp of English was more limited than you would expect. No wonder I stayed just an hour. Avoid at all costs if you are expecting a group tour for a number of days- it really isn’t that- honestly. I am surprised the feedback is so strong. I can only put this down to Hannah who is genuinely really good, she is just working for leaders who are driven by profit as opposed to honesty and customer care.Show more

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not align with your expectations. We would like to clarify an important point: cohesive multi-day group composition is not an industry standard for land-based or modular itineraries. Many reputable operators deliver multi-day experiences by combining daily departures, which is operationally necessary and fundamentally different from fixed-cohort expeditions or cruises. Our tour follows this widely accepted model, and it is not advertised as a single, socially fixed group traveling together for the entire duration. Our focus has always been on providing a high-quality, authentic experience for our guests while supporting the local communities we work with. We do not believe that a cohesive multi-day group composition is a requirement for achieving those goals, and many of our travelers value the flexibility and local interaction this format allows. That said, we understand how this structure may not suit every traveler, particularly those seeking a socially continuous group experience. Your feedback highlights an expectation mismatch rather than a failure to deliver the product as designed, and we appreciate the opportunity to improve how we communicate this clearly to future guests. We also take note of your operational comments and will review them internally. Thank you as well for your kind words about Hannah. We’re glad her efforts stood out. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, as it helps us refine our communication and ensure travelers choose the experience that best fits what they are looking for.

  Jesse was really professional and evan did vegan modification for us. We started to buy things at local market and then we moved to kitchen. Jesse told us some historical stuff behind the meals and provided us every information we needed. I am very satisfied with this cooking lesson.Show more
