    · December 11th, 2025
    My Vietnam Intro Tour was absolutely incredible, and our guide Bobby made the whole experience unforgettable. From the moment the trip started, he was so friendly, organized, and full of energy. Bobby created such a fun atmosphere for the group while still making sure everyone felt safe and taken care of. Bobby so much local knowledge, about the Vietnam history, culture, food recommendations and you could tell he genuinely loved what he does. Every activity ran smoothly, and he were always so patient, helpful, and ready to answer any questions we had. Thanks to him, I got to experience Vietnam in the best possible way. Beautiful locations, great laughs, and memories I’ll never forget. 100% recommend this tour and especially our amazing team leader Bobby!

    Bobby is an amazing tour guide! This was my first experience on a group tour and it exceeded my expectations. Bobby was a key reason for this. Bobby exuded warmth and friendliness, whilst also providing extensive knowledge about Vietnam. Bobby has made me feel so safe and comfortable on this trip and I knew I would be able to go to him for any issue that might have arisen whilst abroad. Bobby also went above and beyond when our tour itinerary had to change because of flooding in Hoi An. He managed this quickly with limited outward stress and I didn’t feel our trip had been impacted in any way because of this.

    Dawn

    Asked on October 9th, 2025

    I am a 35 year old female solo traveler & I was wondering what the demographics are in this group already so I can see if it's a good fit for me.

    Age Range
    Group size
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Our tours are for over 18's only. The majority of people on our tours are solo travellers aged 18 to 39, and our group on the 7th November is no exception! We have 20 people booked onto this start date so far, the majority are in their 20s but we have a bunch of 30-somethings in the group too.

      Dawn

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      is there an option for supplemental single traveler for a solo room? How many nights are hotels vs hostels?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      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. You'll be in twin rooms throughout this tour, aside from the overnight train where each cabin is a quad share.

      Dawn

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      If I land at 9:45pm on November 7th, is that okay for airport pick-up and joining the tour? It's a very long flight for me with 2 layovers.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Yes, of course, we can pick you up at any time. Once your flight is booked please just let us know your arrival details, or upload them to your booking area so we can arrange your pick up for you.
