The tour included a mix of history, real life experiences (like the overnight train - you must do this!) and fun!

This tour was amazing! My friend and I could not have enjoyed this tour any more than we did and we totally fell in love with Vietnam. Intrepid truly provided us with experiences that would otherwise have been very difficult to arrange on our own. The highlights of this trip included a boat tour along the Mekong River to an island where we rode around on a motorcycle trailer to unique spots, a ride around Hue on motorbikes with excellent drivers, and an overnight boat cruise in Halong Bay. Our guide was wonderful, he was knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. Even during our free days our guide recommended activities, most of our group participated and he was always there to ensure everything went smoothly. Our guide really enhanced our trip, especially since he is a local! The accommodations were nice, nothing fancy but comfortable and with good wifi. The overnight train was also quite the experience! The train has rooms with 4 beds, outlets, and reading lights. Overall, I was really impressed with my tour with Intrepid and will definitely be booking with them again for a stress-free holiday!

This tour was absolutely sensational. Way beyond my expectations in every way! Our group was fabulous, 16 of us from all ages and stages of life, and our tour guide, Hungsi, was absolutely brilliant. Acccommodation in every town was top of the range, especially Hoi Ann at the Emm Hotel, and the tour inclusions were fantastic value. Food was awesome everywhere we went and the optional extras were all spot on, affordable and great fun with something for everyone. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this tour to anyone either partnered or single - as a single middle aged lady I felt included at every point and very safe and I made some fabulous new friends! Thankyou Intrepid, an absolute winner all round!

A fantastic experience really got shown the real Vietnam. Travelled with 13 other like-minded travellers age ranging from 22 to 60. Our guide Tom , a local young man was simply the best. He looked after us and took care of everything ,he was never off duty. Our group travelled from South Vietnam to the North. We travelled by coach, train, plane and boat. We are seasoned travellers and this was a trip of a lifetime. The group got on so well that some of us would have lunch and dinner together, great company. We all learned a lot about the country, the people and it's food. Most of us voted the bike ride through small villages as our favourite part. Great value for money.

I'd recommend this trip to anyone!

This is a great snap shot tour of Vietnam. Our group was 9 awesome people, lead by Bien who was amazing. Accommodations were always within walking distance to points of interest, I loved Hoi An and was happy to spend a little extra time here, and the Halong Bay Junk Cruise was a fantastic way to end a wonderful trip.

I was able to sort through the various trips until I found a couple I wanted to take. After I booked I misjudged the travel time between when one tour ended and when I had to get to the next one (I didn't realize there were no evening flights where I was). TourRadar was great in connecting me with the tour operator and they were in turn great with helping me change the itinerary so I could do both trips without any extra hassle.
