This was my 1st time going a group of people to travel. This first attraction was the volunteer work. Then the holiday. I was super surprised at the accommodation and the planning of the tour - it was flawless. The accomodation was just awesome. The experiences that Jane and Mr T organised was so awesome. The tour was so thorough that the only reason i would go back is for more volunteer work and experience the north (Sapa) area. Otherwise i feel that Jane and Mr t made sure that we got to see the whole of Vietnam and its culture and History. Mr T knows so much about the history. It left me coming home knowing so much more about each place we went to and their cultures and traditions in each location. Truly loved the trip and would go on another We travel tour.

I recently joined the Discover Vietnam + The South tour with WeTravel. This was my first tour ever, my first time in Vietnam and what an amazing time! I was a solo traveler and didn't know what to expect. From the first breakfast my fellow travelers were enthusiastic and welcoming. We had such a fun time! Owner Jane curates a trip that hits the places & things you've been longing to see like Hoi An, limestone karst formations, basket boats, bike riding through rice paddies, rickshaw rides, temples, local food!, Ha Long Bay. But here are a few of the things we did that I wasn't expecting -made our own art at the studio of an amazing, accomplished local artist; saw how so many local items are made right in their manufacturing locations; ate a couple homemade meals in local homes; sang karaoke together. Jane takes extra time to connect her tours with more local activities and people. Both to broaden the trip for her tour clients AND to bring tourism dollars/ money to more locals. We appreciated both aspects of Jane's work on this. We spent 3 days working on the home of a local, rural woman who lives with and cares for her mother and her son. Along with local workers we were able to add a bathroom and large chicken coop (and 50 chicks) to their home making a fundamental difference in their comfort and in their ability to provide for themselves. During the three days we went from uncertain strangers to joyful collaborators with the family. This was a highlight for us on the trip. And of course OUR GUIDE, Tuan. He took such good care of us. He always had a 360 degree view on all the moving parts of our trip but also paid attention to each and every person for how our trip was going personally. He really broaden the trip for us all by sharing some of his own story and through explaining so many aspects of Vietnamese culture that aren't easy to research on your own. Tuan is an impressive person and we all just loved him. I learned about this trip from a stranger's Facebook post. Take the plunge and book this. You will learn so much about Vietnam and have such a great time doing it!

What can I say. This trip was just what I needed. Connection with my fellow travellers and a tour and tour guide that had a passion for their country and people. Do not doubt whether you should go - just book it. You will not be disappointed. The family you might support with the volunteering project will remain in your heart and Vietnam in your soul forever Perfect way to connect with the real Vietnam
