I am interested in doing the Vietnam Real Food Adventure tour (with Intrepid) from 6th April to 17th April. I am a solo traveller and would like to find out the cost please.

The 06 April 2025 departure is currently on sale and the cost is AUD $3,132 per adult in a twin share room. A single supplement is available to book at an additional cost of $355, if you prefer not to share a room on this trip.

Do you offer solo tours rather than group tours?

We do not offer solo tours but we do however have a lot of Independent tours. A self-guided adventure allows independent travellers to travel along without a guide. The tour guide essentially acts as a concierge to ensure you have the necessities - accommodation, transportation, and some pre-booked activities. Most travellers who book this option are budget backpackers, but you can choose from different standards of accommodation.

Our group leader Nhi was fantastic- she really made the trip for a lot of us and we were so happy to have a strong female leader. She was always happy and professional and was able to provide suggestions and recommendations on how to spend our time. I really enjoyed listening to her teach us about Vietnam and she seemed to always have an answer to whatever questions we had. Everything was planned so well by intrepid with a great combination of experiences.Show more

- small, well suited group - excellent tour guide who was entertaining, knowledgeable and gave us plenty of suggestions for ways to expand our experience, - use of local services and providers which was important to me - the places we went to eat were exceptional and food really was the theme running through the whole tour, which was what we were after, while still experiencing culture, history etc.Show more
