Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Annick, thanks for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your Real Vietnam trip with Intrepid and hope to welcome you back soon!Trip date: January 2024 - ACAlexander· August 30th, 2022I couldn't have wished for a better experience, seriously. I was a bit hesitant at first as this was going to be my first solo trip and I am quite the introvert, but this absolutely blew me away and I would undoubtedly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience south east Asia. The people I met were incredible and unforgettable, our tour guide amazing and knowledegable (thx Uncle Chieu!!) and if you have any interest at all in trying all kinds of new food, this is an absolute no-brainer. Really looking forward to my next trip!Show moreTrip date: August 2022
Paul· October 16th, 2019The Real Vietnam tour was brilliant! There was a nice mix of learning about Vietnams history and culture and experiencing its night life.
