    We had a fantastic time on the Intrepid Northbound Vietnam tour. We did the tour as a family: my wife, myself, our 19 yo daughter and 16 yo son. There were also 11 others on the tour and we had great fun. Our guide was terrific, and Vietnam was outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the tour.

    Enjoyed every moment of the tour and would recommend it to friends and family. Our tour guide Ashley was one of the main highlights of our trip. She made everyone welcome and at home in her homeland. My wife and I look forward to our next experience with Intrepid and tour radar who made this such a seamless and easy way to see another country. Thank you

    I was disappointed at the lack of options for daily excursions and would have preferred a more detailed itinerary and information regarding the included excursions. Overall, the guide was very helpful in helping us plan our own excursions and trying to accommodate everyone on the tour. I would not recommend this tour if you don't like being on a bus for multiple hours each day.

    Ha and Yuth were great guides with knowledge and excellent skills to manage group trips. Also the choice of places is the essential of both countries. Also, Loch Sokneang, the local guide in Phnom Penh was very knowledgeable and managed the topic of the killing fields excellently.

    Saw a huge amount of Vietnam in a short space of time that I probably couldn't do by myself Ha was an excellent tour guide--really welcoming and organised

    The trip exceeded my expectations, and with one or two exceptions, was excellent throughout. The Cambodian and Vietnamese guides, Yuth and Ha, were both very helpful with any issues or questions we had, knowledgable about the history of sights visited and finally, very friendly and easy to get on with, making for an informative and enjoyable trip. I thought there was a good balance between organised activities and free time. I also thought there was a good variety of activities.
