Epic Vietnam: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City & Handmade Noodles
How do you fit nearly all of Vietnam into one 14-day adventure? We’ll never tell! But we’d love to show you. Staying in epic hostels along the way, go from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, experiencing all the highlights, back roads, and beyond. Get a mouthful of all the best local flavours from bustling night markets, street-side bars and food stalls, and a noodle-making class. Wander the ridiculously scenic countryside as you explore historic tunnels from the Vietnam War, spectacular rice fields, and jaw-dropping coastlines. Throw in some beach time and the ancient city of Hoi An and you’ve got all the essentials for the perfect holiday. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?

- Budget
We’ve been the leaders in small group adventure travel for 30+ years. How’d we get here? By listening to our travellers and giving them what they want: flexible itineraries, freedom to explore, smaller groups, safety and peace of mind, and locally based guides who show you your destination in a way you’d miss travelling any other way.
The trip of your dreams doesn’t need a Hollywood-sized budget or years of planning. Simply join a small group of like-minded travellers that, like you, are eager to experience all the things that make our world worth exploring.
Our guides are all CEOs.
At G Adventures, we don’t have tour guides — we have Chief Experience Officers. Our founder, Bruce Poon Tip, gave up his title as CEO because he felt they needed a proper title to reflect how integral they are to giving you an exceptional travel experience. (But don’t worry, they won’t be using any office attire or business jargon.)
Locally based = local experts.
Our CEOs are locally based, meaning they know the area you’re exploring like the back of their well-travelled hand. They plan visits around the best times to visit (or avoid) the most popular spots, can help you choose local restaurants, and generally give you great tips on the best things to experience. And since they usually speak the local language, they are your go-to resource for anything that comes up.
Local support. All. The. Time.
All CEOs are supported by our local operations teams 24/7. If something comes up that your CEO can’t help you with (however unlikely that is), the team nearby is there to support them in keeping you safe and happy.
Your experience is their focus.
We want you to have the time of your life — that’s why we hire the smartest, friendliest, bestest CEOs around. It’s their mission to make sure you return home feeling like your life has truly been changed.
