- PRPhilip· January 1st, 2020We had a fantastic time on the Intrepid Northbound Vietnam tour. We did the tour as a family: my wife, myself, our 19 yo daughter and 16 yo son. There were also 11 others on the tour and we had great fun. Our guide was terrific, and Vietnam was outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the tour.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks so much, Philip.

She made everyone welcome and at home in her homeland. My wife and I look forward to our next experience with Intrepid and tour radar who made this such a seamless and easy way to see another country. Thank youShow more
Trip date: November 2019 - KGKatie· December 7th, 2019I was disappointed at the lack of options for daily excursions and would have preferred a more detailed itinerary and information regarding the included excursions. Overall, the guide was very helpful in helping us plan our own excursions and trying to accommodate everyone on the tour. I would not recommend this tour if you don't like being on a bus for multiple hours each day.Show moreTrip date: November 2019
- APeter K· September 18th, 2019Ha and Yuth were great guides with knowledge and excellent skills to manage group trips. Also the choice of places is the essential of both countries. Also, Loch Sokneang, the local guide in Phnom Penh was very knowledgeable and managed the topic of the killing fields excellently.Show moreTrip date: December 2018

- AGerard L· September 18th, 2019The trip exceeded my expectations, and with one or two exceptions, was excellent throughout. The Cambodian and Vietnamese guides, Yuth and Ha, were both very helpful with any issues or questions we had, knowledgable about the history of sights visited and finally, very friendly and easy to get on with, making for an informative and enjoyable trip. I thought there was a good balance between organised activities and free time. I also thought there was a good variety of activities.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
