Vietnam Group Tours with INTRO Travel

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

It’s not very often one gets the opportunity to travel. And, to do so in such a well organized manner is even more rare. I’ve just completed my 12 days with Vietnam Intro and I couldn’t think of a better way to have experienced this breathtaking country. Vietnam Intro came highly recommended by a friend who had done one of the other Intro trips to Bali. It’s quite difficult to pin point one specific highlight in a schedule that is so jam packed, but on my list of top 5 are the following:

1. Boat cruise around the majestic Ha Long Bay with its 1969 limestone cliffs.

2. Volleyball and hammocking on Freedom Island.

3. Local homestay in Ninh Binh surrounded by mountain goats and the great trek up Dragons Peak.

4. Hoi An. HOI AN. Theres just nothing wrong with Hoi An. From it’s lantern-lit streets to its tailor shops and restaurants.

5. And, I didn’t think I’d be writing this...but...catfishing barehanded in the muddy streams of the Mekong Delta.

Doing a trip with a babbling tour guide seems to be so run-of-the-mill these days. I imagine it would be easy to parrot fashion a bunch of facts to travelers if boredom ever struck. We didn’t have that, though. We had Mat Stirland. Mat went out of his way to throroughly walk us through each activity on each day, effortlessly arranged transport so that it was no inconvenience to us and checked in at the end of each day making sure we got the most out of every experience. To tie that all together he was funny, knowledgeable, able to communicate with locals, helpful and invested in what he does. I couldn’t think of anyone else squeezing every last drop out of an experience the way Mat did. And for that, I’ll remember this whole experience for many years to come.

I now can’t wait for Bali Intro and Thai Intro, I’ve already started my planning. You don’t want to experience this with anyone else but Vietnam intro and Intro Travel.

VietnamIntro was amazing! We done so much in such a short amount of time, seen and done some of the most beautiful things. You won’t regret booking this intro! Our leader, Will, made our time in Vietnam so stress free - he was the most energetic, kind & helpful person we could have had. Couldn’t of asked for a better leader - nothing was ever too much of a problem! He went above and beyond and we can’t thank him enough. We’re now following on to our next intro in Thailand! Wooohooo!

Vietnam Intro was unreal! Hoi An was my favourite place and the activities we did there were so fun especially the cooking class. The views along Ha Long Bay were unreal!!! But the whole trip was amazing. Will was our group leader and he totally took the stress out of traveling. He is so positive and has an amazing high level of energy. Nothing was too much trouble for him, from helping get a towel to organising a birthday surprise for a group member.- get him as your leader

After having done Thai intro and Bali intro... The Vietnam Intro was definitely the best way to end an amazing travel experience!! Everyday we did something really amazing. Hanoi was just such a fab city to start the tour with. Going around and seeing the city was absolutely amazing so many cool things to see. Took some bikes and explored Hanoi a bit more. We then moved on to Ha long bay... oh my word it was the best day and night ever staying on this 5star backpacker mini cruise ship was absolutely amazing!! Wish we could have stayed a little longer but the following day we moved on to freedom island.. private island stay was so nice and peaceful. Amazing view and you can go kayaking or just chill in a hammock. After that we moved on to ninh minh homestay. We stayed in some really cool bungalows near some rice paddies. Food was nice there too. Then we took bikes to go and see the lying dragon viewpoint that was just amazing and beautiful 468 steps up but trust me... it’s worth it!!! Moving on to Hoi An again lovely little town hotel room was awesome too. The way to the cooking class was so cool!! From a little boat onto some baskets where you can try and catch som crabs!! What a laugh!! Then you cook your own food!! Just delicious! Definitely won’t be hungry after that!! Finally we flew to Ho Chi Minh last destination of the trip. Hotel with a lovely family an amazing night out and exploring the city. Next day you take a boat trip to a family homestay where you do loads of activities such as mud fishing, tea party, cycling etc just great! Last day going to see the tunnels!! This journey has been absolutely phenomenal and our leader Will was absolutely amazing too! I can’t recommend this trip enough!! Thanks Will and introtravel it has been the bomb
