I did the 12 day tour of Vietnam and I cant recommend it enough! It was amazing to see so many different places (Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh). Our leader Lauren was brilliant, she is so helpful and knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. She was also just great fun! Cant wait to do another intro tour in the future.

We had a great experience on our Vietnam trip. Everything ran on time, and the whole itinerary was really well put together.
Pickups were always prompt, the vehicles were clean and comfortable, and each guide brought something special to the experience. It was easy, stress-free travel, and we felt supported the whole way.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to see Vietnam without the hassle.

This is truly one of the memory that I will keep forever, we had the chance to see many places and how Vietnamese used to live. I want to express my gratitude to all the guides and drivers we had, they were friendly, always punctual and very helpful. Should definitely recommend for Indochina traveling!!

Ive done 3 trips with intro and loved them all, but my most recent one with Jabs and Sophie in Vietnam was especially memorable. The trip was very well organised and we covered a lot of sight seeing, activities etc. Jabs and Sophie were always full of energy and happy to help with anything and everything. I would 100% recommend intro tours if you enjoy travelling!
