One of the best trips of my life

[Hien and Derek] put together a trip that had the right mix of getting around Vietnam with activities that did not feel like window shopping, and relaxing in spots that still very much let the traveler feel they were experiencing where they had traveled to while enjoying gorgeous countryside.

Fellow travelers were truly interested in Vietnam and open to learning about it and trusting that the leaders knew what they were doing. They did. I was traveling with my 11-year-old son and it was his first trip to Southeast Asia. It changed his life, literally... In short, it's a trip I still look back on with great appreciation that I took a little leap of faith and am glad I did. Continued thanks to Derek and Hien.

Father-Daughter Trekking in Nepal

Nothing prepared me for the beauty and majesty of the Himalayas ... We ate excellent food and always had reservations at lodges along the trail in advance of our arrival. I was free to focus on the journey, scenery and experience with my daughter, because Derek had made sure that every other detail was attended to. Our trip culminated with a day at Mount Everest Base Camp, at just below 18,000’. While there were views and encounters with local people that will stay with me forever, standing at Everest Base Camp with my 12-year-old daughter is something I never imagined. Thanks to Derek and his incredible guidance, this is a memory that my daughter and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
