Lesley· May 2nd, 2025I went tthe wrong time of year, the heat and humidity were almost unbearable. The guide Buddy was very organised and everything went seamlessly with no organisational issues. There was a good mix of people, single women and men and some couples. There were lots of activities but not any really must see sights, if I had known earlier I would have taken the opportunity to see the long neck hill tribes from Chaing Mai and hot air ballooning in Vang Vieng, by the time I had all the details of these activites and researched safety, etc it was too late. Intrepid apparently does not encourage those activities. The elephant expereince was amazing and the two days on a boat down the Mekong, the food was very good on the whole, and there was no problem getting vegetarian food.Show more

- RPRussell· March 5th, 2023Enjoyed our tour, tour leader Katie was excellent. The itinerary was just enough to stay busy but not overwhelmed. The accomodations weren't great, but satisfactory in most places. Rather than a awe inspiring vacation, this was a mellow two weeks, and we were fine with that.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Russell! Thank you so much for your feedback.

Asked on October 10th, 2023Can I confirm I would be able to book a single room for this tour? I don't see an option to add that on the booking page. Can I confirm the price of a single room is $450 Canadian, which is what I believe is posted on Intrepid's site.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2023
A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 2 (Overnight train) and Day 6 (Pak Beng) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. You can request your own room for $450.

Elizabeth
Asked on February 1st, 2016Will we have guides the whole time?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2016
Most of the activities during the days are at the leisure of the group, so the guide will not necessarily be with you the entire time. The activities where the guide will be with you the entire time and taking you through the activities are listed under "Included Activities" on each day in the itinerary. For example, in Bangkok on Days 1 and 2, the activities included with the guide are the Khlong boat (canal) tour and the Wat Pho Temple, as listed at the bottom of the Bangkok description in the itinerary.
