  • M

    Muhammad

    Asked on August 16th, 2025

    would it be possible to join this tour from day 4 at Ninh Binh? I visited Hanoi and Ha Long Bay on a previous tour last year and would prefer to visit Ho Chi Minh City instead of Hanoi. Ideally, I'd like to visit the following places: Ho Chi Minh City, Ninh Binh, Hoi An. Do you have any tours covering the above that are available between available to travel between 1-12 September? Or failing that, is it possible to mix part of one tour with another? Or get advice on tailoring certain elements.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      We do not offer customised tours, so we wouldn't be able to accommodate that. We could potentially explore the option of you joining from day 4 of the tour, but we would need to check with the local team first, as it may be logistically challenging. Please note that if you were to join for only part of the tour, the price would remain the same, as it is a package priced tour. We have a 12 day Vietnam Intro tour that starts on the 2nd September and finishes in Vietnam on the 13th September, with the possibility of you joining on the 5th September in Ninh Binh. After Ninh Binh, you would travel to Hoi An and then Ho Chi Minh City. Would you like us to look in to this for you?

  • L

    Lisa

    Asked on April 17th, 2025

    is there any age restrictions with this tour? I wanted to ask about the single room supplemental...how much would that be?

    Age Range
    Single supplement
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 39, but we regularly have people in their 40's+ travel with us and have an incredible time! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly! We can certainly look into the possibility of a private room for you. However we do room you with someone of the same gender (excluding multi-share accommodation) and try our best to room you with someone of a similar age. Also Group Members are in their hotel rooms for a very limited time throughout the trip, as there are activities most days and things planned most evenings. Please note, a private room wouldn't be possible on the overnight train.

  • J

    Jasmine

    Asked on February 22nd, 2025

    Are the activities set in the itinerary compulsory or can we choose to do some things and on other days explore on our own?

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

    Asked on February 16th, 2025

    Is it possible for a couple to get double rooms throughout the tour? Is it possible to book 2-person cabins for the night train?

    Accommodation
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      If travelling together as a couple, we will make sure you are in a private room throughout, but we can't upgrade the overnight train which remains a 4-share cabin.
