Can you arrange additional nights in Laos either before or after the scheduled tour? I would require accommodation, transfers and a selection of local tours or activities.

We can arrange additional accommodation and airport transfers at an additional cost.

What's the single supplement for this trip please?

A single supplement is available for $750 if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes days 15&16 (homestays), days 7&13 (overnight trains), and Days 18 (overnight boat) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability.

Are airport transfers included?

Airport transfers are not included in the package, however, can be arranged at an additional cost.

We are a group of 10 or 12 retries looking forward to travel to Vietnam on the 12th. of Feb. returning 3rd. of March 2023 can you please rate the hotels accommodation in stars. the tour name is (Best of Vietnam 20days) is there a group discount? as I the price quoted is $3154/person.

Currently, there is availability on the Best of Vietnam tour departing on February 12th, 2023. To secure your booking, only the AUD $400 per person deposit would be required. Because you are such a large group, I would try to book as soon as possible.

What is the payment option for this tour?

TourRadar is only able to accept payment via Credit Card as we are an online booking service. In extreme cases we can accept bank transfer but this will usually incur charges.

20 days were needed to cover the country. It was very varied, and really worthwhile. The guide prepared information about the next place which I really appreciated. We were in Vietnam during TET, which meant less available restaurants/shows etc. As travellers we were not too impacted, our guide kept us well informed on progress or alerted us when things had to change. I have recommended to Intrepid directly to adjust some of the timings at locations e.g. more time at War Remnants Museum and Hoi An; less time for garden visits in Da Lat but recommend other activities there e.g. train station.Show more
