Since we have never been in an asia country, it is a good start to get in touch with the culture and the good start into travel in Vietnam. The tour is really good organized. The activities are lots of fun. Be careful about the weather, bring the correct equipement with you.

A Christmas and New Year adventure, and my first trip with Intrepid! This trip has a great mix of activities that will give you a super insight into Northern Vietnam. The hiking in Sapa was tough - steep hills, rice terraces and motorbikes - but stunning. I highly recommend this trip

Excellent trip with a good mix of activities and places. Not too physically challenging at all, but enough adventure and outdoors to make a great holiday choice for people who like to move! Our guide was very friendly and shared many insights into Vietnamese culture. The only disappointment for our group was the food in the North - as we were all expecting the type of food in Central/South Vietnam. Great accommodation throughout the trip and the home stays were fine and one of the highlights of the trip, along with biking in Mai Châu.

It was a hassle free holiday, with the stress taken out to when it come to knowing where we needed to be or where we were staying next. We got to see more that expected, and would have never seen what we did without a fantastic tour guide!
