This is an exciting 8-day tour of two of the most lovely countries in Southeast Asia: Vietnam and Laos. This begins with time to explore Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, and some fabulous rich cultural displays in the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Start with the panoramic drive to Ha Long Bay, the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site, and cruise among the limestone islands and explore caves while spending your nights on a traditional junk.
Next, your journey continues in Laos, arriving in the UNESCO-protected city of Luang Prabang, the highlight of all serene temples and traditions. Highlights will include the Pak Ou Caves, beautiful Kuang Si Waterfalls; and, where possible, participation in the morning almsgiving ritual. Visits to the Royal Palace Museum and bustling local markets give further insights into Lao culture. Enjoy the combination of natural wonders and guided tours steeped in culture for an effortless, enriching travel experience.
I just finished a month long of travelling with Intro Travel Thailand and Vietnam legs.
I really enjoyed the tours and the activities that were offered as well as the opportunity to meet some amazing people (both guests and group leaders) from all walks of life and around the world. In short, this experience was life-altering and has shaped my cultural understanding of Thailand and Vietnam as a whole.
In particular, I want to give a shoutout to my Vietnam group leader, Danny. He was truly amazing and catered to all your needs as a friend first then a group leader after, AND I WAS NEEDY ‚.
P.S, Rhi (My group leader from Thailand) was amazing too when I was feeling homesick and down!

An interesting destination with a fascinating culture.
The cuisine is delightful and this Explore trip gives you an insight into the preparation of the local food.
The flora is very colourful, but bird watchers will be very disappointed. There is more birdsong in my garden than two weeks in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese are extremely friendly and helpful. The traffic is daunting.

I can’t imagine navigating Vietnam without Diem. The trip was incredibly organized.. starting with Diem meeting us at the airport, to the lovely hotels, flights, transportation reservations, etc. We also appreciated the tips on local cuisine shopping and sightseeing. I highly recommend the upgrade if you can afford it. We hope more upgraded Explorer trips become available.

Our gastronomic trip to Vietnam was excellent. We experienced a very wide range of food and in a wide range of locations. We tried street food in Hanoi and Saigon, ate the freshest fish and seafood on boat journeys and had a delightful meal home-cooked by a family. We helped prepare food in several places including spring rolls, savoury pancakes, and Vietnamese bean cake. In addition to eating (lots) there was plenty of time to experience ancient historical sites and to scratch the surface of the relatively more recent wars that the country has suffered.
Our tour guide, Hung, was excellent. He had a great sense of humour and was one of the best guides we have experienced. We were a small group - only 4 of us. We got on really well, meeting as strangers but parting as friends, including our guide. A great trip all round and would thoroughly recommend.

Vietnam is a country of great natural beauty, delicious and flavourful cuisine, compelling history, immense cultural diversity and an incredible heritage. Stretching its way down from the rugged, hill-tribe country along the Chinese border to the abundantly fertile Mekong Delta in the south, this land is as rich and diverse in natural beauty as it is warm and friendly when it comes to the hospitality of its people.

Starting from Hanoi, where we will meet you on arrival, this journey takes you to Ha Long Bay, Da Nang and Hoi An before coming to an end in Saigon (officially known as Ho Chi Minh City).
With an intriguing history spanning over 4,000 years, including occupations from both Chinese and French, the country’s architecture and cuisine is a fascinating testament to cultural diversity.

This was a wonderful, varied trip with a good mixture of culture, beautiful scenery, activities and history, both ancient and soberingly more recent. Our guide Binh was fantastic; funny, kind, patient and very knowledgeable, he was a highlight of our trip. The accommodation was all very comfortable and the food was amazing. As a vegetarian, travel can be tricky, but there were lots of delicious options. I highly recommend this trip for the first time visitor to Vietnam.
