    Amazing trip we had a fantastic leader Phat and his trainee Leo. Both had such wide knowledge of everywhere we went and definitely found it useful that they could speak the language as they were local leaders. Thanks

    I have been on several group trips with companies and I always forget to leave a review but after INTRO Vietnam with Phatty and Leo, I am leaving my review before I board my plane! What a truly fantastic trip filled with care, laughter, knowledge and culture. Honestly Intro Vietnam was more than I couldve imagined- the rain, the heat, kayaking Ha Long Bay, biking in Ninh Binh, the sweat up Dragon Mountain, beautiful lanterns in Hoi An, amazing boat trips and very good food. The views are breathtaking! Everything had been arranged to the minute, hour, day perfectly and Phat always accommodated our needs if he saw we were tired or needing a little more time. What an amazing group leader - it would be hard to beat Phatty - the best I have ever experienced on any group trip. He loves his country and the passion and care he has is contagious. Leo - we were so fortunate to have him join our trip - he will be a fantastic leader, thanks for all the laughs and smiles. Leaving this trip was hard as Phatty and Leo had brought us together as a group - “family”. Nothing was a problem and they never made it seem like a job - they enjoyed our company and was invested the whole time. A fantastic, memorable trip filled with culture, love and care - rain and heat! Will definitely be booking again although the bar has been set high! Don’t hesitate to book with Intro!

    I can’t speak highly enough of Bobby! He was the most caring, thoughtful, funny and informative guide I could have wished for. He went out of his way every minute to make sure we were having the best time, safe and looked after. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and I felt super comfortable to go to him for anything at all. As an Aussie I especially valued Bobby’s sense of humour, he is an absolute legend. Thank you for everything bobsicle xxx

    Fun experience and good times! It was nice to have a group of people to travel with and INTRO kept a nice balance of activities and free time for us to explore different places both on our own and with the group. Made traveling a lot easier as everything was handled and enjoyable. Our group leader Sel did an incredible job — she always made sure we were taken care of well during and beyond the trip, and brought so much fun and energy to the experience overall!

    The Vietnam Intro 9-day was awesome, and Bobby, as tour guide, was a big part of that. So many incredible experience packed in, and it all flowed seamlessly thanks to Bobby - he took time to share his local knowledge about everything, even including the best dishes to get at restaurants. Nobody in our group would have a bad word to say about our experience! Highly recommend!

    · March 30th, 2025
    My friend and I recently completed an incredible 9-day tour of Vietnam, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences, allowing us to see and do so much in a short time—many of which I wouldn’t have thought to book if I had planned the trip myself. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the breathtaking landscapes of Ha Long Bay, a peaceful homestay in Ninh Binh, and the charming town of Hoi An, every destination was unique and truly special. One of the best parts was just being able to switch off and enjoy the adventure without having to stress about planning. Everything was seamlessly organised, and we could just go with the flow each day. That credit goes entirely to our incredible tour leader, Liam. He made the experience effortless, ensuring everyone was looked after while sharing his knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for Vietnam and travelling. He constantly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Liam is an absolute asset to Intro Travel team, setting the bar incredibly high for what a group leader should be. With him now moving on to new adventures, he will no doubt be a huge loss to the company, but anyone lucky enough to cross paths with him in the future is in for an amazing experience. If you’re considering a tour of Vietnam, intro travel certainly exceeded all my expectations

    We’ve just completed the 9-day Intro Travel tour around Vietnam, and while the trip itself was incredible, what truly made it exceptional was our leader, Liam Birtles. From the moment he first messaged us before the tour even began, we knew we were in good hands. His kindness, calmness, warmth, and extensive knowledge elevated the entire experience. As a teacher, I’m used to making constant decisions, so it was a refreshing change to simply rely on Liam to ensure our first time in Vietnam was seamless and unforgettable. Without him and Intro Travel, we wouldn’t have made the most of every moment or discovered so many fantastic places. Liam’s expertise allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the experience without the stress of planning or logistics—something that would have taken up our precious time otherwise. The tour struck the perfect balance between adventure, culture, history, and natural beauty. Having traveled without Intro before, I can truly appreciate the ease and comfort that this experience provided. Liam ensured that every single member of our group was looked after, no question was too small, and no request was too much. His dedication to making sure everyone was happy and comfortable was unmatched. I can’t thank Liam enough for making my Vietnam trip so special for all the right reasons. He not only guided us through an amazing place but also created an atmosphere where everyone felt cared for and included. If you’re considering an Intro tour, know that with a leader like Liam, you’re in for something truly remarkable!

    Amazing tour to introduce you to the sights of Vietnam, and to get you involved in activities that you would usually never book by yourself. I loved every minute. Additionally, I loved the balance of planned activities and free time.

    Lisa

    Asked on April 17th, 2025

    is there any age restrictions with this tour? I wanted to ask about the single room supplemental...how much would that be?

    Age Range
    Single supplement
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 39, but we regularly have people in their 40's+ travel with us and have an incredible time! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly! We can certainly look into the possibility of a private room for you. However we do room you with someone of the same gender (excluding multi-share accommodation) and try our best to room you with someone of a similar age. Also Group Members are in their hotel rooms for a very limited time throughout the trip, as there are activities most days and things planned most evenings. Please note, a private room wouldn't be possible on the overnight train.
