    Juan

    Asked on June 20th, 2025

    does this trip come with an solo traveler option, or it should be a group?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      This is a group tour that welcomes solo travellers! The majority of guests on the trip will be solo travellers, but sometimes people travel in pairs. Come the end of the trip, you'll likely have made new friends.

  • V

    Vicky

    Asked on June 2nd, 2025

    I'd like to know if this is group travel or is the itinerary only for us.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      This trip can accommodate up to 25 guests. If you're interested in a private tour, the minimum number of guests we can create a trip for is 4.

    • V

      Vicky

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      We would like to travel independently through Viet Nam (Hanoi, HCMC), Cambodia (Siem Riep), Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai?) and Laos (Shompoo cruise to Luang Prabang). I have already mapped out activities and logistics, approx 25 days. Something more turn key is appealing. If we wanted the 31 day trip done privately, what would be the cost (tour plus local costs)?

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      The minimum number of guests we can do a private tour for is 4. Do you have anyone else that might want to join you 2 on the trip?

    • V

      Vicky

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      No, it is only the two of us.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten June 2025

      I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to build a private tour for you with only 2 people. Otherwise, you could join one of our group tours if that might interest you.

    Christopher

    Asked on May 15th, 2025

    I am interested in joining the 31-Day Southeast Asia Adventure: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia tour with a larger group. I would prefer a minimum of 12+ others in the group. I'll be a single male in my early 40's. I am flexible on dates. Is there one which you would recommend as a better date to pick over the others?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten May 2025

      Historically, our January and February departure have the largest groups as it's the most popular time of the year to go. We currently have 2 people booked on the January 5th departure date and we're confident that the date will fill up closer to the departure.

    • C

      Christopher

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      For the optional activities, are those paid for at the time of the event or do they require prepayment? I expect to do nearly all of them and wish to plan accordingly.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten May 2025

      All the optional activities on your tour can be booked/arranged during the trip and using local currency (cash), so you do not need to organize them prior to travelling. The Adventure Leader will be able to assist you in arranging these optional activities.

    Joanna

    Asked on April 19th, 2025

    How fit do you need to be to take this tour? I'd say I'm relatively unfit and don't want to not enjoy it. If it isn't the right tour for me, do you have any similar ones that require less intensity?

    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten April 2025

      This trip is intended for most fitness levels to join. If at any point you feel like an activity wouldn't be suitable for you, then you don't have to participate. We would never force you into a situation you wouldn't feel comfortable. Is there a particular activity you're concerned about on the itinerary?

    • J

      Joanna

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      It is mainly the jungle trek and the fact I can't ride a bike. Would there be a way to still see the lotus fields etc without needing to ride a bike?

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten April 2025

      We'll reach out to our operations team to check if there are any alternatives to the cycling activity and get back to you as soon as possible. This tour can be quite intensive at times with 15,000-20,000 steps per day and activities like the jungle trek and cycling.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our team has confirmed that they can help arrange a private vehicle to follow the same path. This would have an extra cost which will be confirmed while on the tour but essentially would be a taxi transfer service.

    Maria

    Asked on April 19th, 2025

    I want to join the 31-day Southeast Asia tour, and there is an age restriction. I am 51 and I am backpacking India and Asia right now

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten April 2025

      I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accommodate you on this trip. Although our recommended age range is 18-45, the majority of guests that join this trip are 18-25. The recommended age range is based on extensive feedback we've received for this trip over the years we've been operating in Southeast Asia. Additionally, we wouldn't want to recommend you a trip we don't think you would enjoy.

  • L

    Lucy

    Asked on March 24th, 2025

    Do I need to apply for visa for Vietnam prior to booking this trip or I can apply closer to when I want to travel? Is it easy process to obtain visa or can it be refused?

    Visa
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten March 2025

      It's up to you when you decide to apply for a visa for Vietnam. There's limited advice we can offer on this because they're a legal government issued document and any decision made when applying has to be made by you. I'd suggest you enquire with your local Vietnamese embassy or search the Canadian/Vietnamese government website for more information about visas to Vietnam.

      Do you have any flexibility with the destination? We could check if there are other tours we could recommend for that time?

    • N

      Natasha

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      My ideal is for a tour to start on April 23 or 24 so I dont have to stress about rushing to get there and could spend a night before the tour starts.
