Vietnam Group Tours with INTRO Travel

I strongly recommend anyone considering exploring Vietnam, to partake in the 12 day Vietnam intro tour.

The 12 day tour is jam packed with heaps of fun activities each day, and the flexibility of having ‘free time’ at times, allowed for a more personalised holiday. As a first time solo traveller, this tour provided me the opportunity to explore a country without the fear of being ‘alone/lost’ as I had the company of new friends and a great group leader. The 12 day tour has allowed me to deepen my knowledge of the Vietnamese culture through the engaging experiences throughout the tour, and through the knowledge of our group leader. My most memorable moments of the tour involve the home stay experiences, the overnight Halong bay cruise, and activities such as lantern making and basket cat fishing

Our group leader, Meg, was an amazing group leader and any new and upcoming groups will be lucky to have her! Her friendliness and bubbly personality throughout the trip added to the overall experience of the tour. Meg was able to answer any questions I had throughout the tour, and always made an effort to ensure my experience and others was enjoyable. Thank you heaps Meg!

Adam Donovan was amazing group leader with great cultural knowledge of the area.
He was very supportive and had a good sense of humour.

Every minute of the trip was heaps of fun, even with the sudden change in weather conditions.

I loved Sapa, Ninh Binh, Hoi An and Mekong Delta.
The home stays were especially unique, with getting to meet the families and seeing their way of living.
Then having the contrast of the glamour hotels with a spa and pool was a nice inclusion.
I would definitely do another intro travel tour, loved the people and small group environment.

Adam donovon honestly was the best trip leader. Your missing out if you don't get Adam. He was super helpful. Always up for a good laugh. The trip itself was amazing your busy but not to busy. Would highly recommend the vietam experience. You don't want to miss out on sapa. Trekking honestly was so much fun. Remember to bring a backpack your going to need it. Even if it rains in your trip just soilder on. The activities even in the rain are super fun! Make sure after you catch the fish that you have a mud fight. It so much fun and it just brings a whole heap of laughs

Amazing group of people we explored so many places, did some great excursions and activities (crafts too), very pleased with how much of Vietnam we got to do in 12 days.

Only thing “down time” to explore the city never very long in any of the locations. But i do understand when we are doing so many cities in so many days.

Meg was great, super helpful always there to help in any way needed. Lovely group leader

Really great way to meet people and great if you’re a solo traveller but not really done it before, as at least you can just enjoy and not have to think too much about accommodation/travel days etc!

I really enjoyed the intro travel Vietnam 12 day tour. Adam our leader was fab and was always making sure to check on us and see how we were doing. The tour was well organised on the ground and I felt that I got to do a good amount of fun activities and meet lots of other lovely people on my tour. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to explore the world but is unsure about going completely alone. There was a good mixture of ages on the tour too which was really nice as well. I really enjoyed the trip to the Mekong delta with the homestay.

My experience was great, especially having Adam as my group leader. He gave some really great recommendations for places to eat, things to do and provided great knowledge of Vietnam. For future travellers I would definitely say take every opportunity to get to know the local areas and foods that each location in Vietnam has to offer as it is a unique place. One stand out is in Hoi An getting to visit Mr Xe the tailor, definitely a memorable experience getting a custom made suit. The food in Vietnam should definitely be on every foodies bucket list as it is authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

My first time to south east Asia and I couldn’t have had a better time! Thoroughly enjoyed every day on the experience tour. A good mix of activities like hiking, more wholesome ones like tea parties and lantern making and fun nights out. Our group bonded super quick and whilst we are all girls from uk/Ireland we all had very different personalities and interests and the mix of activities was great as there was something for everyone! So glad I did a tour as I wouldn’t have done as many activities in those 2 weeks without! The itenerary is super busy at times with quite a bit of travelling (6 hour bus to sapa and back) but it’s worth it and our leader Adam Donovan made a point of giving time to us to rest or have time to ourselves or just do our own thing.
The only activity I didn’t partake in was catfish fishing, it’s just not for me but I was more than happy to watch the others and take photos for them. I didn’t feel left out or like I was missing out by not doing it.
I packed really lightly (glad I did as I ended up buying clothes in Mr axe’s and the markets) and was relying on washing my clothes once in the country and was able to get a wash done in sapa and hoi an. Unfortunately my clothes weren’t washed well in hoi and one item came back ripped but I would just not use that hotels laundry service again.
I got 2 outfits made in Mr Xe’s that came to $170 (us) so if you’re budgeting I’d just recommend allocating some money for that.
Adam was super helpful and has the patience of a saint (we must have asked him the same questions several times every day). His love for Vietnam was obvious and he was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for everyone on the group in regards to onwards travel.
Felt super comfortable and safe the whole time and this has given me more confidence to spend a couple more weeks in Vietnam solo :))

This tour was amazing, it gave you a good impression of the country whilst also giving you reasons to revisit. The activities were diverse and varied from very active cycling/hiking to more chilled out crafting/cooking. Every experience was unique and the itinary very full on, i would say you need a relatively good level of fitness/health to experience it fully. It is not a chilled out holiday but if you are seeking immersion and opportunities to make memories and do unique things then it ticks all the boxes.

Adam was our tour leader, he has a clear passion for the country that was great to see, he was supportive and patient, especially when i lost my phone after falling into a bush! He went out of his way to make sure i got it back. He went above and beyond making sure we were safe and comfortable with everything and his passion for supporting local people really stood out for me.

It was an incredible experience i would definitely recommend to adventurers and culture seekers alike.
