What travelers are saying

"Accommodations were fantastic, all had useable amenities and staff was very quick to help with any issues. A nice variety of stay as well without sacrificing comforts. Itinerary was awesome, there was a great mix of planned meals/activities as well as free time to roam at our own discretion. The pace never felt too difficult because of the variety of activities as well, lots of walking but plenty of time to rest in between if needed. Synjun was a phenomenal tour guide! Extremely well informed and always ready to answer any questions. Even if he couldn't answer anything on the spot he was great at finding out and getting back to us. As a tour guide he was great at explaining without going too long, if felt more like a friend explaining things, you could tell he found these things interesting as well. As for meal recommendations, Synjun was literally an expert! I quickly learned that if he said a place was good, it was usually a highlight of the trip. He had such a good variety of recommendations, I quickly gave up trying to plan my own meals and just relying on something he recommended."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Danang, Halong Bay , Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Hoi An , Hue, Mekong Delta

Highlights

  • After spending time admiring Hoi An’s World Heritage-listed ancient town, hop on a bike and pedal beside rice fields and through small villages on a guided bicycle tour of the surrounding countryside.
  • Spend two days on Cat Ba Island relaxing on tiny beaches, hiking through verdant jungle and kayaking around karst-studded Lan Ha Bay. It’s just like Halong, but with fewer tourists!

  • This trip is big on connecting with the real Vietnam, and with two included homestays – one in Da Bac and one on the Mekong Delta – you can immerse yourself in everyday life.
