Maria is the best! We couldnt have done this trip without Maria. She helped us plan the itinerary, logistics, excursions and everything else. You can have as much or as little input as you want and she puts your feedback into action. She has local contacts and first person experience so you know you are getting an authentic experience. She set us up with authentic and intimate guides and excursions while giving us enough downtime to do our our exploration or just relax. If you dont want to lift a finger and have the whole trip curated for you, you can do that too. We felt supported and connected throughout our 3 week trip while fully immersed in the experience, adventure and culture.

Maria created a wonderful trip that I will remember forever! There was a great mix of relaxing/adventures and structured/unstructured time so we could decide how we wanted to spend our vacation! We had a great group of people and a wonderful local guide that made the trip even more fun and special. I can’t express how great it was to have Maria plan this trip and all of the amazing activities and sights she shared with us on and off the beaten path! Definitely too many unforgettable memories to count and hope to travel with Wild World again in the future!

This was my first trip with Wild World Tours and it did not disappoint! Compared to other group tours I’ve done, this was by far the best group of people to travel with! Everyone got along so well and it made the trip all the more fun and special. Maria did a great job of navigating hiccups and last minute changes, and keeping the vibes high. The itinerary was a great mix of the hustle and bustle of the city, cultural experiences, being in nature, and seeing the lesser known parts of Vietnam. The loop was my favorite part, one of the coolest things I’ve done!

This was my first time with Wild World Tours and I am a solo traveler. Adaptablity: 5/5 I travel with the idea that things can change at any moment and Maria was great at adapting to changes. For example, we had to change buses and Maria got in contact with the right people and resolved the situation multiple times, despite the language barrier and other confusions. Vibes/People: 5/5 I met a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and experiences and I love hearing their stories and about their life. However, not sorry that I tend to wander off and explore. (: Activities: 5/5 We did soo much! From hiking, city tours, villages, boats (so many boats), bikes and motorcycles!, and more. I am missing some but you'll just have to find out if/when Vietnam is hosted again. Foodwise in Vietnam: 5/5 I miss the inexpensive pho, fruit smoothies, and ice cream. Overall: 5/5 It is quite literally a "just show up" type of tour/vacation. There is free time but most of the trip is packed with activities and things to do or see. My favourite parts were Cat Cat and Hmong village. It was a great mixture of adventure, learning, and getting used to the unknown. Loved the moments, miss the people and adventure.

This was my second trip with Wild World Tours and I am so grateful for the experience, yet again. If you’re looking for real adventure, to see a country for all its glory and raw-ness, these tours are the way to go. You get to see the things you might normally miss because all the details and planning are taken care of for you, with real precision and intention by Maria and the locals. With a packed itinerary but also time to explore on your own, these tours make for such a memorable, fun experience. The kind of packed days that make time feel so much longer. I highly recommend this experience, it’s one you certainly will never forget!
