The reason I did this trip was because I wanted to go to Vietnam and had read reviews about Jane and Mr. T and was so impressed. Absolutely confirmed by our trip. Just returned 2 weeks ago. From booking our trip to completing the trip, Jane was so responsive and helpful. We arrived in Hanoi and were greeted by Mr. T and our driver and whisked off to our hotel. We arrived a day early and highly recommend this to do the Handicraft Village day tour. Just fabulous meeting most of our group and experiencing both Jane and Mr. T’s joy, fun and volumes of information. What a great day with hands on crafts and experiences. The whole tour was packed with incredible experiences, getting involved with the culture, cooking lessons, hilarious and enjoying our ‘master pieces’., and traveling on buses, a cruise ship, an overnight train, bikes, scooters, planes, hiking, swimming! So action packed and our group got on so well together. Our weather was amazing! Despite being hit by Typhoon Trami, Jane and Mr. T did what was in our best interests and made it into an adventure. We were so well taken care of with Mr. T informing us each day what to expect for the next day, what to wear, what footwear, and organized scooters for people who couldn’t manage long bike rides. And on days where we had free time, he gave wonderful suggestions for restaurants, massages, getting our laundry done. Mr T drove on his scooter with 18 bags of clothing to the laundry and a few hours later it was delivered to our hotel! Jane and Mr. T are passionate about what they do and it showed everyday in their laughter and organization. Our 3 day community work was amazing and such a blessing. Getting to work alongside the locals, eating at a neighbors home and being able to make a difference is someone’s life was humbling and heartwarming. Just sign up, you will be so well taken care of and see so much of Vietnam and experience their kind, gentle culture. Jane is planning northern Vietnam for the future, I will definitely go on that trip.

Way to Travel is the best way to discover Vietnam. We saw and did so much! The guides are tremendous and so very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the various regions of Vietnam. I have done quite a few give back tours, and this one was by far the best! I would recommend (and have recommended) this tour for anyone interested in Vietnam or in doing a give back tour. Way to Travel is awesome! They put us up in nice hotels near the best parts of the locations we visited. The home stays were above and beyond any I have been in before. The restaurants and tours were outstanding. Their suggestions for restaurants, spas, and activities on our free time were spot on. And the highlight of the tour, volunteer part , was so well organized. If you want to see Vietnam, Way to Travel is the best! I will be looking for future tours from them, for sure!

This was an incredible trip from start to finish! Everything was so organized! T & Jane were detail oriented to everyone's personalities and needs and more importantly; they were so much fun! We had wonderful adventures as a group and enough information to venture out on our own at times! Talk about planes, trains and automobiles! We slept on a train, a boat, and wonderful hotels. We cycled, kayaked, hiked, swam, rode in boats, learned to cross busy streets, all while laughing and enjoying the beautiful country! The volunteer project was humbling and rewarding and the hardest work I've ever done. I would do it again any day! The difference we made (& truly the difference it made in us) was all worth it! If you are even remotely considering going to Vietnam, I highly recommend Discover Vietnam and I hope to travel with them again one day!
