- Zade· July 23rd, 2024Amazing experience. Great itinerary put together by our guide / Intrepid, beautiful country sights all throughout Vietnam, fun group activities and everything you could really want out of a trip. Our tour guide Tuyet was a very lovely and easy to get along with host, and i had a blast all-throughout the whole trip. Could highly recommend to another :)Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Zade, thank you for sharing your trip experience with us!

- ATulika J· September 18th, 2019This was my very first experience travelling with Intrepid and I feel it was memorable mainly because of our Team Leader - Thao. He made sure we enjoyed every second of the tour and bonded with us extremely well. I would recommend Thao to be included in all the Vietnam tours. I would recommend all my friends to choose Intrepid whenever they're travelling to Vietnam. The whole experience created was very balanced.
