- 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 November 21st, 2024Can we get a visa for Laos at the border?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Evisa is recommended for Laos but If you plan to get an visa on arrival at the border, please ensure that you have at least 1 passport photo and up to USD45 cash for your application. Please provide your sales agent with accurate passport details prior to the departure of your trip as these details will be passed on to your leader to help speed up the process. Those without a photo, or who are arriving on a weekend, holiday or after hours, will have to pay an additional one or two dollars. All visa fees are payable in cash only.

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.

Intrepid's age cap is more of a guideline, so as long as you are physically fit and able there should be no problem.
