Tuan was a really helpful and insightful guide and was able to manage the group (and it's varying characters!) really well. Accommodation was all very good and the optional paid activities were all good value for money. Would definitely recommend.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewWe're so glad you enjoyed your time in Vietnam Tarik!

- ATulika J· September 18th, 2019This was my very first experience travelling with Intrepid and I feel it was memorable mainly because of our Team Leader - Thao. He made sure we enjoyed every second of the tour and bonded with us extremely well. I would recommend Thao to be included in all the Vietnam tours. I would recommend all my friends to choose Intrepid whenever they're travelling to Vietnam. The whole experience created was very balanced. We indulged in the local culture, explored new places, ate local food, and made friends for a lifetime.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
