    Enjoyed 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.

    It was mostly excellent. There were a few things that were not up to par, eg the bus used to travel in Laos and some accommodation but it was a well thought out planned itinerary

    Can't help but feel that compared with previous trips you're charging more for less, eg hotels weren't as good as previously (when they exceeded expectations) and part of the trip was extremely uncomfortable due to an overcrowded mini van.

    Kelly

    Asked on October 10th, 2023

    Can 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.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten 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, 2016

    Will we have guides the whole time?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten 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.
