I had a great experience exploring Vietnam with Leo as my guide. From the very beginning, he made me feel welcome and was always ready to listen and answer any questions I had along the way. The trip was well-organized, and full of memorable moments. I’m very grateful for the experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Leo to anyone looking for a guide to explore and experience Vietnam:)

Vietnam with intro was such an incredible experience thanks to our fantastic leader Michelle! Honourable mention to Jas and Tim as leaders-in-training who will be amazing. The whole trip was so enjoyable and engaging, and I genuinely cant remember the last time I had that much fun. Michelle was amazing in any scenario thrown her way, and nothing was ever too big of an issue to solve! I consistently felt so safe and reassured with the team. From cultural experiences of war tunnels and walking tours to incredible boat rides and fun nights out this has been one of the best holidays of my life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone solo travelling because you will meet such amazing people along the way. I wish I could do it all over again!
