Amazing trip

As a solo traveller a group tour suited me really well, it was packed with activities, some that you wouldn’t think to do if you were to plan it by yourself. There were so many beautiful places but the Ha Long bay trip was a strong highlight for me. I loved how the whole trip was made so easy for us, all you had to do was turn up no stress what so ever!

I feel lucky to have had Meg as a group leader, she was a big part of what made the trip amazing! She added so much humour and fun, she was very supportive and understanding, she went out of her way to make sure that everyone felt safe and had a good time.

What would you improve about this program?
Make it longer so you have more time to explore some of the places.
Pros
  • Food
  • Boat trip
  • Group leader

Best tour ever

I have been on a Bali tour with intro in the past and this was so good that I wanted to book another. Sri Lanka is somewhere I had never thought about in the past but after seeing the video at the end of my last trip I thought it looked amazing and it definitely has been. The group, accommodation and activities have all been amazing. Our group leader Morgan, was great and very informative and fun. Any issue we had was sorted by him very quickly. My favorite activities were the elephant safari and monastery visit. Mirissa has been my favorite hotel and love being right on the beach. I have booked my next trip to the Philippines and can't wait.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
The weather
Pros
  • Morgan our group leader

Awesome trip

I went on the trip as a solo traveler and I do not regret it at all!
It was a well rounded trip through Vietnam, vietnamnese culture and their life in the big cities or the cultural and quiet landscapes.
Even as a german with a mostly British travel group I really enjoyed every part of the trip and felt like I‘ve made a lot of friends on this journey.
Meg, the group leader, was such an amazing and open hearted person, managing our trip the best way possible! Even though she declined to sacrifice me, I couldn‘t have asked for a better leader and Vietnam experience.

Pros
  • Culture
  • Food
  • Experiences
Cons
  • Leaving

Unreal experience

I was a solo traveller on the Vietnam Intro 12 day tour…and I couldn’t recommend it enough. I was a little apprehensive as I’d never travelled alone before, yet I couldn’t have felt less solo. I met a group of people that I feel like I’ve known for years.

Beautiful country, amazing experiences and incredible accommodation.

We couldn’t have been more looked after by Meg, our tour leader. She is super bright and passionate about Vietnam and Vietnamese culture, whilst also making everyone feel included and ensured they were having a great time.

Pros
  • Food
  • Culture
  • Landscape
Cons
  • Had to leave

Amazing Trip

The trip takes you to many historical locations within Vietnam, and includes many unique experiences such as mud fishing and Vietnamese cooking. Our organiser Meg was very helpful and provided support and advice whenever needed. Meg was also really friendly and had a great sense of humour, which added to the experience. All potential issues on the trip, e.g. weather disruption, where dealt with very quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore Vietnam.

Pros
  • Good food
  • Activities
  • Group leaders

Vietnam Intro 12 Day

Meg was the most amazing group leader we could ever asked for. Meg is knowledgable , caring, organised and so thoughtful. I struggled a lot with my sleep with the jet lag and Meg went above and beyond to make sure I was OK. Each individual member she looked after so personally. I felt completely safe at all times with Meg and her knowledge and advice was amazing. She is an absolute credit to Intro. I cannot fault a single thing. Thank you so much Meg and intro !! Already booked my next intro tour.

Pros
  • Felt safe at all times
  • Amazing being part of a group as a solo traveller
  • Got to see parts of Vietnam that may be difficult without being on a group tour
Cons
  • Nothing

Intro Vietnam

I had such a brilliant Vietnam trip as part of the epic age of 40 days.

Megan Elliott was such a brilliant host who was brilliant at organising and fun, so you could really relaxing to the group and your holiday!

It wasn’t the sunniest of trip but that didn’t seem to even matter and we had such a brilliant time at every activity.

I think the only downside was the free time was never quite long enough so a few extra days of the trip for more free time would be brilliant.

But over all I really recommend the Vietnam trip and hope you get Megan as your tour leader!

Pros
  • Really well run and brilliant activities
  • You do so much! Great cultural trips and history in this tour!
  • It’s brilliant travelling with the group
Cons
  • Not a lot of down time. Trip would be much better with a little bit more
  • A night or twos accommodation wasn’t great

Vietnam 12 days intro

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!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would’ve wished I did the Vietnam + Cambodia tour, as time goes very quick on this 12 day Vietnam tour!
Pros
  • Exciting and fun activities
  • Great group leader and group members
  • Homestay experiences
Cons
  • Choice of restaurants could be better
  • Extra days to allow longer ‘free time’

Best trip ever !!

I just finished the Philippines tour and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Marek and Kyle were my leaders and they were amazing and super helpful. Everything was organised for us which made everything feel relaxed. The 3 day boat trip was a lot of fun and the food was incredible, stopping at different islands and even visiting a local school to experience the culture! I will definitely be booking more tours with intro in the future!!! Thank you Marek and Kyle for making great memories with us :)))

Pros
  • 3 day boat trip
  • Meeting new people
  • Local culture

Intro Travel Vietnam Experience

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.

Pros
  • Lots of laughs
  • Getting out of comfort zone
  • Meeting new people
Cons
  • Going home
  • The train ride (conditions)
  • Having more time to shop
