Hi Lisa, thank you so much! The Vietnamese countryside with local guides is a completely different trip than the city tours — quieter, slower, more honest. So glad it came through. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Joe, thank you so much! Sunrise from a mountain top really doesn't get old, does it? Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Ian,

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. It meant a lot to all of us. I loved it so much that I shared it with the whole team - your words really heartened everyone who worked on the trip. And it was lovely meeting you at Sophie’s Home too. I’m really glad you joined the Ha Giang Community Trip.

Sophia, Fern, Jess and the team spent months planning the trip. Sophia personally tested the trip multiple times to iron out every small detail - even things like getting pillows for the long bike rides so guests would be more comfortable. Their intention was for every guest to feel seen and cared for throughout the journey. So it means a lot to hear that you felt the heart behind it.

And just by being part of the trip you made a huge difference too. The female riders we work with often struggle to find work because many companies still prefer hiring men, so this trip helps create meaningful jobs for them and their families. And making something as simple as bánh mì for the kids (something we take for granted) is really special there, as bread and eggs aren’t something they get often.

We started Seek Sophie because we’ve had trips that changed us, and we wanted to create experiences that could do the same for others. It makes me really happy to hear that this trip meant something to you too.

Thank you again for being part of it, and for bringing such heart to the journey. 💛

Best

Hi Luanne, thank you so much! Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Guillaume, thank you so much! The cooking class in Khao Sok is one of our favourite quiet recommendations — so glad it lived up to the tip. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Stacie, thank you so much for your kind review. We are very glad to hear you had a good trip and that our team could put your worries at ease. It's really heartening for us to hear these words as we put a lot of effort in making our customers feel at ease. Hope to see you on another trip soon!

Hi Emilee, thank you so much — off the beaten track is exactly where we like to be. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Mandy, this is so lovely to read. Vietnam is one of the places where the difference between a curated tour and a cookie-cutter one really shows up — so much of the country is set up for big group tours that just hit the obvious sights, and the smaller, more authentic operators take real work to find. The fact that every guide you've had has been passionate and knowledgeable is honestly what we work hardest on, so thank you for noticing. We're proud to be your go-to in Vietnam. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Dear Aurelie & Clément, so sorry to hear your flights were cancelled and you won't be able to enjoy your holiday. But glad we could help in such a stressful moment. Hope to see you on another trip soon!

Hi Ludovic,
Very sorry to hear about your cancelled trip. We understand how stressful it can be at such a moment. We hope to see you in Borneo in the very near future. Stay safe!

Hi Lynn, thank you for this. So glad May Xuan and her husband looked after all seven of you so well. Thank you for travelling with us. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi David, thank you so much! A friendly, organised crew + a comfortable room + good food is honestly the cruise-trip trifecta — we're so glad all three came through. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Thank you, Mikki! Glad we could provide a swift solution! Hope you have a wonderful trip :)

Hi Lee, thank you so much! Working with 7 Clean Seas is one of the partnerships we're proudest of — they're doing real work on ocean plastics, and the teamwork piece really matters when the trip has a purpose like that. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Debbie, thank you so much! Sinharaja is one of those places that really rewards a good guide — there's so much you'd walk past without one. So glad yours brought it to life. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Rocío, thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you had trouble booking. We hope to resolve any issues you may have had with the information you provided us. And glad to hear Kai En was able to help you book.

Have a great trip!

Hi Colleen, thank you so much! Wayan's firefly project is honestly one of the most magical bookings on the platform — fireflies, farm-to-table dinner, all of it under the stars. He's funded so much of this himself out of love for the project, so it really means something when travellers like you show up for it. Don't miss it indeed 💛 Team Seek Sophie

Hi Chris, thank you so much! Hosts who actually care about making sure the kids have a great time make all the difference on a family trip. So glad it became the highlight. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Viera, this honestly made our day. Community-led experiences supporting small businesses ethically is the entire thesis of Seek Sophie, so it means a lot to hear it described back to us this clearly. We're so glad we get to be your go-to for Southeast Asia. Thank you for travelling thoughtfully. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi KF, thank you so much for this. Talking to a person, not a bot, is one of the things we genuinely try to keep doing. Team Seek Sophie 💛

Hi Alma, thank you so much — we love an accidental find that turns into a fan 💛 The ecoprint workshop in Yogyakarta is one of our quieter, lovely recommendations there. Looking forward to having you back for more 🙏 Team Seek Sophie
