    · April 8th, 2024
    The worst thing about the tour was the lack of detail supplied before departure. A dated itinerary with the departure hotel name would have been a no brainer, most of the participants were unsure of whether the accomodation after the initial 6pm meeting was included. It was never explained that we would be sharing rooms in hotels,fair enough in homestays but a bit of a surprise for the hotel stays. Also the tipping part of the trip..the guide was asking for around $800 US from the group for tips, surely the hotels and drivers were getting paid ok? I've rarely seen tipping in Vietnam before. Its an American practice that is offensive to Australians. That's a lot of money in Vietnam. Our guide BB was excellent and read the group well, the mix of electric bikes ensured every one kept up,and apart from the last day the pace was brisk and entertaining. The last day was led by the mechanic at a very boring walking pace that no one appreciated. I would recommend the trip but would like to see the above points addressed for future groups.

    Jon

    Asked on September 19th, 2024

    Is there vegetarian (non fried) food available? Also I need a non-smoking room and will probably want to book solo accommodations. Are there transfers to the airport on the last day?

    Accommodation

    Meals
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2024

      We do have a dietary section listed in the passenger details, upon booking you can let us know your dietary needs so that you can be better accommodated while on trip. Finding vegetarian non-fried foods in Northern Vietnam won't be an issue. On our trips we do not reserve smoking rooms for our travelers so this will not be an issue and a single supplement is available for purchase just let us know at time of booking and we can have that added for you. The single supplement is usually On Request as it depends on hotel availability so the earlier its added the better chance we have of confirming. We do offer airport transfers if needed, they are an additional cost and we can price it out for you.
