  • R

    Ray

    Asked on September 8th, 2023

    I wonder if you would take one more person on these dates as these are the only ones I can take off from work.

    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2023

      I have checked with our ops team but I'm afraid this departure is completely full. Are there any other departure dates you could do?

  • J

    Jay

    Asked on August 11th, 2023

    Would be with my family this time. Is there a way to avoid overnight bus?

    Transport
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten August 2023

      As the trip is a set itinerary we don't have any alternative methods of transportation in place. If you wanted to arrange alternative transportation yourself and meet up with us when we arrive that would be fine.

  • T

    Tim

    Asked on January 14th, 2023

    we are two couples, somewhat older than that, but nothing in the activities sounds in any way beyond us (except that only one of us drinks!) Is that a problem?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten January 2023

      No we welcome all ages over 18+ that's no problem at all! Won't be an issue if only 1 drinks that's a personal choice :) As you want to do Cambodia as well would you be interested in doing our multi country tour that is both Vietnam and Cambodia?
