Impact

Sustainability

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Trip of a lifetime!

As I was travelling solo for the first time I was really nervous about what to expect, had an absolutely amazing time, met some amazing people and definitely made some lifelong friends. Our tour guide, Faye was brilliant, she got to know us all, constantly looked out for us and helped us with anything we needed as well as being really fun and always happy, she was great to be around! Won't ever forget this trip!

Best trip Ever!!!!

A week before coming to Vietnam my partner and I split up. I started to look at different options and came across Vietnam Intro. I was extremely anxious about going travelling alone however even from the initial conversations I had with the call centre staff I knew that Intro travel was a professional and reputable company to travel with and a day Before I was due to travel I booked my trip. The moment I met my tour leader Faye who was so welcoming and friendly I knew that I was going to have a great time. The fact she's Welsh definitely helped too 😜.
Faye's knowledge skills and experience makes her the perfect tour guide. We got to see the real Vietnam and learn so much about the culture as well as having soo many fun nights out! Faye took the time to get to know everyone in the group, build rapport and ensure that everyone's aspirations for the trip were met. The Vietnam Intro tour has completely exceeded my expectations and this is down to Faye. She would consistently go out of her way to make sure everyone is happy, enjoying themselves and their needs are catered for. Having travelled south east Asia on several occasions I have never felt safer that being in Faye's company. What ever the demands of the group, Faye always would go above and beyond to ensure they were met, multi tasking, arranging different transport for those that couldn't bike ride and walking people home if they were tiered on a night out.
Faye has an excellent relationship with all of the locals we met along the way and is adored by all of them which was soo lovely to see as it meant the we had the opportunity to have more interaction.
The accommodation was great and itinerary amazing, it was soo much better than what I originally thought.
The banter was on top form in the group and Faye was definitely the sunshine on our trip especially when she randomly starts singing Vengaboys to make everyone smile.

It is safe to say this is truly the best experience I have ever had. I went to Vietnam lost and broken hearted and left with a group of friends I have made for life, amazing memories and a trip booked with 6 of our tour group to Sri Lanka through Intro Travel. I really really really hope that Faye will be our tour guide!!!
Thank you Faye for making my trip soo special. It wouldn't have been the same without you as our leader. Xxx

Vietnam Intro 12 day

I had the absolute best time on this trip. My first time both travelling alone and travelling in Asia and I think this was the best way to do it. The activities are amazing - really high quality and good variety between relaxed days, party days and getting stuck into Vietnamese culture and history. There wasn’t a day I didn’t enjoy, but particular highlights include the awesome cooking class in Hoi An, cycling through the rice paddies of Ninh Binh and jumping off boats in Ha Long Bay. Food and accommodation are also consistently good - the Ha Long Bay boat was like a luxury cruise!
Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide in Faye. She was so good at bringing us all together, super helpful with anything we needed and a laugh on our nights out.
Would really recommend this tour for both solo travellers and groups. I loved this little taste of South-East Asia and have already booked onto the Bali Intro trip!

Vietnam Intro - 12 days

This was my first time travelling solo and I was not sure how it would be but I would definitely recommend Vietnam intro. I arrived a couple days earlier than the tour started and my accommodation and airport pick up was sorted out by the Group Leader Adam. It was nice not having to worry about these details when arriving to a new country. Throughout the trip Adam reminded us of the daily activities. He was very helpful and ensured everyone in the group was having a good time.
Vietnam intro covered some cool extras which other tours didn’t. Some highlights include cat-fishing in the mud, releasing laterns into the river, climbing dragon mountain for the amazing views of the city, cycling around rural Vietnam and of course the Vietnamese cooking class.

Great trip, great crew

Me and a mate booked the Vietnam Intro 12 day trip last minute. We had a great time exploring Vietnam with an awesome crew. Everthing was well organised and we got a few extra bonuses as we were a large group of 17 people ages between 18 and 31. The tour leaders were very knowledgeable and very helpful with helping us organising our trips at the end of the tour. I’ve done similar trips with other companies but would recommend this one over the others.

A must for all young travellers

Booked Intro Vietnam 9 days before it started. One of the best last minute decisions I have made. So much so have put a deposit down for another tour for later down the track.

My tour leader Adam hit the mark every time. Whitty, knowledgeable and fantastic guy. Couldn't ask for a better leader and based on this experience would recommend Intro to family and friends.

Made many friends and made lots of memories.
Thanks to Adam and all the team everyone on my tour had a fantastic time.

Highly recommend!!!!

Vietnam Intro 12 days

Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Had such a fantastic time exploring Vietnam. Loved the crab fishing and the cooking class the most. Loved being in Hoi An and releasing lanterns on the river.

Will our group leader was fantastic and couldn’t recommend him enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Vietnam and meeting some amazing people and looking forward to doing more travels with intro travel

Hannah’s Intro Vietnam 12 day tour

The Vietnam Intro 12 day trip was an amazing tour which was made even better by our tour leader Hannah. From the moment she picked us up at the airport her kind nature and great banter was apparent which set the tone for the entire trip. As the tour progressed it became apparent Hannah has embraced the local culture as she was able to share her knowledge of Vietnam, local customs and food recommendations to the group. Anyone who is fortunate enough to get Hannah as their guide will have an amazing time.
As for the trip, there is a lot of travel involved as you make your way down the country. You get to use a variety of different methods such as boats, coaches and trains all of which added to the experience. The accommodation was always clean and conveniently positioned with the local hosts being friendly towards the group. The Nimh Binh accommodation is stunning and was a highlight of the tour.
There are plenty of activities included in the trip, many of which I probably wouldn’t have ever thought about trying if it weren’t for this trip. Things such as crab fishing, cooking classes, bikes rides and catfish fishing mean you are kept busy but are broken up with a few more relaxed days to recover from the nights out.
Overall, I had a great time in Vietnam and would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to visit Vietnam.
