Just completed my 3rd intro tour and already booked my 4th for next year! Just finished the Vietnam intro and had the absolute best time. Very well organised by our amazing tour leader Annelise who was just the best!! Would recommend intro to anyone. I work full time and these trips allow me to experience travel with so many amazing experiences!
We are absolutely in love with Vietnam! Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the tour company for creating an incredible experience for us.
Throughout the planning process, the tour operator was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We worked together on multiple iterations of the itinerary until we
settled on the perfect one. During the trip, when a small hiccup occurred, but our tour operator swiftly responded and made necessary adjustments to ensure our journey
remained seamless. His clarity regarding the inclusions and his expertise in selecting fantastic hotels and guides truly enhanced our experience.
A special mention goes to our outstanding guide in Sapa. We highly recommend this as he provided exceptional insights
and even hosts homestays. Our time in Hanoi, Sapa, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, and Halong Bay was nothing short of amazing!
We were fortunate to learn so much about Vietnam and its incredible people. The country and its rich culture left a lasting impression on us.
Once again, thank you to tour company Travel for making this journey truly unforgettable.
This tour met all of our expectations! All of our requirements, from the destinations to the services, hotel arrangements, and guides, were perfectly taken care of. Evelyn was our lovely travel consultant and provided us with helpful details, tips, and kept the communication line open throughout our trip. It was really nice to have the chance to meet her in Hanoi, and thank you for the thoughtful gift. Highly recommend.
The spectacular valleys and mountains of Vietnam were simply made for active exploration. On this 11-day adventure, you’ll put on your hiking shoes and get ready for an immersive journey that gets away from the bright lights of Hanoi and under the skin of Vietnam's bucolic countryside. In between trekking and cycling through lush landscapes, you’ll stop in at local villages and learn about traditional life, spending the night in rural homestays. After cycling through the valleys of Mai Chau and Ninh Binh and getting your heart rate up on Sapa’s hiking trails, you’ll head to UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cat Ba Island and kayak across the turquoise waters of Lan Ha Bay. Spend a night in a waterside resort in the bay and make the most of every sunset, before heading back to Hanoi and indulging in street food.
Out travel expert was very helpful during my planning stages when I made multiple enquiries regarding my itinerary. I also wish to mention the warm hospitality of all the staff at the tour company, my wife and I had a wonderful time and we will return soon.
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!
