    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!

    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.

    I cannot recommend Intro Travel enough - I went with my sister’s recommendation as there are quite a few operators out there but Intro 100% did NOT disappoint and exceeded my expectations. There are no hidden costs. Incredible likeminded individuals will be on the trip. The amount you do in such a short space of time is unreal and I do not think you would experience half of this without being on an Intro tour. My group teader Liam Birtles (the biggest shout out) is unbelievable at what he does. You will always feel safe, have access to the best knowledge and you genuinely do not need to worry about a thing. My biggest tip is not to miss out and to just book that trip!!

    I highly recommend this tour. I was searching for Vietnam tours in Tourradar and saw really good reviews for Intro Travel. I chose this tour because it seemed like it would be a good mix of adventure and relexation - and I was not disappointed! Our group was fortunate to have two amazing tour leaders: Bobby and Liam. Bobby is a local so that was definitely a plus with his vast knowledge of Vietnamese history, culture and food. Both Bobby and Liam always made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we need. All acommodations and transportation were great including the Ha Long Bay overnight boat, Ninh Binh homestay and even the train ride. I enjoyed all the activities especially kayaking in Ha Long Bay and biking in Ninh Binh. The tour leaders also recommended great places to eat, visit or things to do during our free time. They had great communication to the entire group. The entire group was amazing and fun, and I'm glad to make connections and learn about each other's culture. Most of all, the tour provided me with greater appreciation of the Vietnamese culture and food! I only did the 9 day tour but really wished I was able to do the 12 days as the group seemed like they had a blast for the last 3 days. Nevertheless, the 9 day tour is still worth it. Definitely recommend this tour!
