Trip Reviews (1)
This was my first solo trip away and I was absolutley filled with nerves about it. With my first flight being delayed, causing me to miss my connecting fllight, I had to call Kim(my tour guide). From the first contact she set my mind at ease. She showed a calm and organised side that I really needed at that time. The rest of the trip was easy with minimal read more disrutpions purely because of the work Kim was doing in the background. Kim is an absolute superstar and an asset to G Adventures.
Vietnam itself had been on my bucket list for a few years, and this trip was the perfect way to ease myself into it. Although I soon realised that I will be going back again to explore more at a later date. In saying that, I knew the itinerary going in and it was plenty detailed and included lots of different things to see. Some of my highlights included learning to shop for fresh ingredients in the local markets from accomplished chef Trung, and then learning to cook local dishes in his restaurant, or getting to witness the phenomanal work being done at Oodles of Noodles with tthe orphans and under privilaged students. Spending a night in Hai Long Bay was a special peaceful experience.
Meeting a new group of people is always a challenging thing for me and I'm pleased to say that after my trip, I'd happily tour with any of them again. Obviously some more than others but I didn't have any issue with annyone on the trip. Being an older member of the group didn't mean anything and some of my best memories were made with those a lot younger than me.
Dealing with Global Journeys, especially Tracey was a pleasure from day 1. She was prompt to reply to all my questions and always provided me with more information than I asked for. I would definately recommend Global Journeys to all of my friends and family that are looking to travel the world. I will absolutely be traveling with Global again.
