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.

Best trip ever!!!

Thank you so much Sam you were an amazing tour leader! I had the best time and would highly recommend this trip to everyone! It was completely unforgettable! 💕 We went to some of the most amazing and beautiful places and every day was different. You could really get a feel for the history of all the places we visited and we had people local to the places we were visiting show us around! I did this trip solo and have made some lifelong friends all over the world as a result! I’m hoping to go on another trip with Intro soon!

Amazing Experience with INTRO Travel

I can't recommend Intro Travel enough when travelling through Asia. With all of the accommodation, transport and activities included in the price, this is the perfect tour for anyone looking to explore and meet life long friends. They have perfected the top places to visit with my favourite being the Freedom Island in Ha Long Bay. There is a perfect balance of culture, nightlife and relaxing. The tour is stress free throughout knowing that everything is arranged for me and the tour leaders are great at keeping us informed and safe as well as having great local knowledge of the culture and history of all of the locations on the trip. I will definitely booking more tours with Intro in the future!

Amazing Experiences Galore

Excellent tour of Vietnam that is full of brilliant activities and takes you across a good stretch of the country.

Safety is very key to Intro Travel and you could see that by how caring and cautious the group leader was, they also hugely improved the experience on the tour being helpful throughout and having a laugh with everyone.

The boat cruise and freedom island stay are narrowly topped by the amazing town of Hoi An as to my favourite part of the trip. The trip also has a perfect balance of cultural, sightseeing and nightlife activities that include everyone in the group throughout regardless of age.

I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends and any other of intros trips having done 3 other myself. The tours are always well run and have a very good structure with the itinerary. All the accommodation is included as part of the trip in addition to the majority of breakfasts and other free meals along the way.

What was your funniest moment?
Starting a flash mob to the dance of ‘Saturday Night - Whigfield’ on the streets of Hoi An whilst wearing our fruity shirts.

Vietnam Intro - Best trip ever!

During this trip I have had an amazing time and met some really cool people. Our group leader Sam made sure everyone was constantly involved and engaged through games and group activities.
My favourite moment of this trip was spending time on Freedom Island because it was so beautiful and peaceful. I love how there was always activities to do and even in free time Sam always advised us on where to go and what to see oftentimes joining us.
The accommodation was always impeccable and well organised. I feel as though Sam was a great group leader and made everyone feel included throughout. As well as creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere during and after long periods of travelling between areas.
This was my first trip with intro travel and I would 100% love to go on another and recommend to all my friends. If you are looking for a fun, well organised trip full of good times and new friendships definitely choose intro travel.

1 DOLLA MAKE YOU HOLLA

Words can't begin to cover what an absolutely phenomenal experience I've had on this trip. I came away with two of my closest friends and have left with a whole family! The itinery which covers the main highlights in Vietnam was fantastic. In such a small amount of time I was able to experience the true Vietnamese culture and explore some of the most vibrant cities in Vietnam. It was a perfect mix of culture, adventure and of course nightlife. What's Vietnam without a few shots of rice wine hey! Cycling through the stunning Ninh Bihn, kayaking through beautiful Halong Bay, catching a catfish with my bare hands (Bear Grylls eat your heart out) and crawling through war tunnels were just some of the fantastic experiences I encountered. Of course none of this would of been what it was without the fantastic people I met (best friends 4eva) and of course our lovely tour guide Faye. Having been on a few tours in the past with different companies I can honestly say that Faye has been my favourite guide out of everyone. She was friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made every experience so much fun. Her passion for Vietnam really shone through during the tour. The way in which she became so excited and passionate during every explanation or experience we had, made her a truly amazing tour guide. If you want a true Vietnamese experience I highly urge you to book onto his tour. Intro travel provide such fantastic intineries and it's down to Faye that I have booked another one. Faye you have made this experience unforgettable and I truly hope you are our guide in Sri Lanka! Bring on the next tour. Mot, Hai, Ba, YOOOO!

Vietnam Intro

It's hard to put into words how good this trip has been. There has been beautiful scenery, Amazing people and incredible nights.
Intro travel has obviously put a lot of thought into their trips creating a perfect balance of partying and culture. They've split up the the ways we travel so it's as efficient as possible to tour this beautiful country in the time we had. To tie this whole trip together we have our group leader Faye who was unbelievable, she managed to bring the entire group together as a family pretty much on the first night and keep us together until the last one. She will be out with you having a good time on a night out. She will be haggling down the locals that are maybe a bit too ambitious with their prices. She will be with you when you are ill or down. She will also know when to just leave you to your hangover for a little bit.
The point is you won't regret this trip and you'll be lucky to have Faye with you along the way.

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
