First ever solo trip (but not my last!)

5.00I’ve just finished the 12 day Vietnam intro and can’t recommend it enough! I was nervous as I’ve never travelled solo before, but the second I was greeted by Tháng in the hotel lobby I knew I was in the best of hands. One of the best things was how organised it was - I didn’t have to worry about anything other than setting my alarm at the right time and enjoying everything that followed! Tháng and Paula were incredible - they answered all of our questions throughout and we had so much fun with them - I appreciate this is probably the case for most groups but we really felt like a big family at the end. Our group of 24 was a wide mix of ages which worked so well - everyone was so lovely and no matter who you were sitting next to in restaurants, activities or travelling there was always something to talk about with everyone. I’ve booked another tour (again thanks to Tháng and Paula!) and can’t wait for more adventures 💜🫶🏼
Incredible experience and the BEST leaders!

5.00Just finished the 12 day Vietnam tour and it was INCREDIBLE! It’s a full on trip with so many things to see and great experiences to be part of. The home stays were my favourite places as were so beautiful, and our host at Mekong was so friendly and funny, making us feel so welcome. We were a group of 24 people with a real mix of ages and I got on so well with every single person and was great hearing everyone’s stories and learning other cultures. Thang was the BEST Intro leader without a doubt! He was so passionate, kind, supportive and made all of us laugh every day. He made the trip what it was, and was great having someone local to Vietnam. He is certainly missed by us all! Paula (another leader) also joined us to learn the Vietnam tour and she was just amazing! So caring and helpful, and we had a right laugh, I really enjoyed her company and miss her also! Both Paula and Thang made such a huge impact to the point I got tearful saying goodbye, I wanted to take them home! Amazing tour, incredible leaders, highly recommended to all!

5.00Truely a life changing experience in Vietnam. My first time solo but felt so welcomed as soon as I arrived. Can’t speak highly enough of my two guide Thang and Paula, they really went above and beyond and worked tirelessly to make such an amazing trip. After only 9 days the connection made with the group was incredibly strong and definitely made some friends for life. The trip also does a fantastic job at giving you an insight into the culture from many different perspectives. My only regret was not staying on for 12 days, but decided mid way to hop onto another trip, which again my guides were fantastic for helping me to organise.
Vietnam Introduces 9-Day

5.00I absolutely recommend Intro. I did the Vietnam 9-day intro and had a blast. The best group tour I have ever done hands down. Most travellers were solo and the age range was diverse. So much jam packed into such a short period of time. Our tour leader was very knowledgeable and supportive. Made friends for life and had an unforgettable experience in Vietnam. I’ll be back for sure!

5.00I had a Vietnam Intro trip with Introtravel on 1st week of december. This 9days trip was amazing and very well organized from start to the end. Itinerary had covered all the beautiful places with some time to relax and chill on your own. Group leader was friendly and knowledgable and made sure that everyone is comfortable and included. I would definitely book another trip with them.
Awesome Tour!

5.00Another excellent tour, the 12 Day Vietnam Tour was tons of fun! Couldn't wish for a better group! Our groupleader Adam made the trip even more special! He was a lot of fun and made the trip to what it was, just perfect. His knowledge, inputs and recommendations for the free time were always on point. He made sure everyone in the group felt safe and if there was an issue he instantly took care of it. He was always in a good mood which reflected on the group itself!

Vietnam intro

5.00Vietnam intro tour was my first group travel, I really loved it and will defiantly do more tours with Intro travel. This way of traveling is a great way to meet people from all over the world and to experience things you normally would not do by yourself. I loved everything from the accommodation to the activities. And also, that I did not have to do any of the planning myself, it was such a comfortable way of traveling. Unfortunately, I had an accident during the trip, where I injured my knee and had to go to the hospital to get some stitches. Our group leader Adrian was so helpful during this time. He got me to the hospital and took care of everything. He helped change the bandage every day, got me crutches, helped carry both my stuff and me where ever we were going. He really went above and beyond to make sure that I was ok and could enjoy the trip even though I flew around on crutches the whole trip. I could not have asked for a better group or leader. I can not wait for my next trip with Intro travel! would 100% recommend to travel with Intro!
