    I have recently returned from this brilliant trip from start to finish. It was great fun & we packed so much in, we really got to see so much of beautiful Vietnam. Jane & T ensured we had the best trip. We completed 3 days ‘give back’, this was such a fantastic & humbling opportunity to meet & give back to locals. Thank you Vietnam 🇻🇳 I would love to return ❤️

    Myself and my husband Jason. Are just back from the 13 day trip. 5 star treatment from Jane and Mr T. This was our vist time doing an organised tour and volunteer work. So much jammed into 13 days. It's great this company gives back to less fortunate families. We also were very lucky to tour with like minded people who loved to enjoy themselves as well. If you want to vist Vietnam ?? contact Jane on @waytotravel. You won't regret it. Ps. Still on a high ?

    Just returned from a 17 day tour from Hanoi to Mekong by plane, train, car, boat, bike & rickshaw. It was amazing and would recommend this company to all. You get to see the real Vietnam, also have the privilege of making a difference to a Vietnamese family by volunteering for them for 3 days. Mr T and Jane couldn’t have done anymore for us. If it wasn’t for Jane I would not have made the trip only having 5 months on my passport, god bless Jane. It was a good group of 16 solo, couples, sisters all making the trip worthwhile. Vietnam is a fantastic country, fabulous food, superb smoothies, magnificent markets, friendly locals, lots of sunshine and plenty to do. Highly recommend. 5 stars ⭐️

    We had a fabulous trip with Way to Travel just completed April 2024. From being met at the airport and delivered safely to our beautiful accommodation in Hanoi , our every need was considered and responded to by the incredible team of Jane the owner and Charlie our guide extraordinaire. We got to explore an astounding amount of sights and experiences each one different and culturally and historically rich. Charlie managed the large group admirably using his charming personality and humour but able to focus and deal with issues as they arose with calmness and professionalism. I always felt safe in his hands. The project was three days I will never forget and I feel proud of what we achieved as a team Vietnam I love you and I will be back. Thanks Jane and Charlie

    I had the pleasure of going on the April 2024 trip to Vietnam that started in Hanoi and ended in Ho Chi Minh City. The trip was simply amazing. Jane did a fabulous job of running the logistics and chose lovely hotels and home stays.. The transportation was done flawlesssly and there is a lot of it, from bikes, canoes, row boats, boats, buses, etc Charlie, our guide, not only brought us from place to place and taught us about Vietnam, he shared his love of Vietnam and his family with us. He kept us laughing and managed to keep us on schedule. He is truly amazing. Finally, the project we worked on and the family we helped added so much to the trip for me. It makes travel much more worthwhile.

    I highly recommend Way To Travel. I have just returned from Vietnam on this tour with Way To Travel. I did the 17 day tour which included sooo much of Vietnam. Vietnam is a beautiful, interesting friendly place to travel in. We did so much, boat trips, overnight train & internal flight, all included. There is so much included & time to do your own thing too. The food is fantastic & again loads included. Our guide, Charlie was brilliant so knowledgeable about his beloved country & so much more. Way To Travel have put together a very well organised trip covering loads of the must see parts of Vietnam. We also did a give back project to a family in need. This was very rewording. Thank you Jane & Charlie for a fab experience in your beautiful & interesting country.

    I have never had such an amazing experience, everyday was another adventure full of surprises, fun and culture? The Vietnam food was yummy as I stepped out of my comfort zone and I was pleasantly surprised ? The accommodation was comfortable, clean and great locations ? The April Group that I met were just beautiful human beings, I would in an instant holiday with them again, I believe I met some life long friends ? The best part was Jane & Charlie I would go back again in a heartbeat just to see them ? Thankyou Way to Travel ?
