Is this trip right for you?
In 2025, Tet (Lunar New Year) in Vietnam will run from the 25th of January to the 2nd of February and in Cambodia Khmer New Year (Songkran Festival) will take place from the 13th to the 15th of April. These are fascinating and rewarding times to see Vietnam and Cambodia, however you do need to be prepared for some businesses to be closed, tourist sites to be very busy and for transport to be packed as many local people are travelling around the country. Please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.
The bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge is a painful but important part of Cambodian history to confront. If you would rather not visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, just let your leader know.
You’ll visit a number of temples that require a certain level of modesty. You’ll need to bring clothes that cover the shoulders and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it is hot.

Intrepid are a well organised company with excellent communication throughout the whole process. Guides are local to the Country and I have found them to be very professional and of a high standard. I would recommend Intrepid for your travel needs.

Premium Cambodia and Vietnam is an epic trip. Covers a lot of ground but worth the extra days to get a better feel for both countries and worth it for the highlights such as spending a couple of days in the mountains. The food, people, sights and culture created an unforgettable trip which were made by amazing guides (PJ and Bao) who both taught our groups so much about their wonderful countries. Thank you.

As a solo traveller I went on the premier Cambodia and Vietnam trip with Intrepid and I was not disappointed. I joined a group of seven other travellers from different backgrounds, countries and ages. We had a dedicated team leader throughout the trip of 20 days. Every day was different and I found the trip very interesting and at a level where I was always comfortable. Everything was communicated in a clear manner and our team leader, Thao, was fantastic in making things simple. The whole experience was fantastic and I would recommend this trip.

I was blown away by intrepid, what a great way to travel! You see all the must sees and many things off the beaten path you can't easily find on your own. Intrepid guides are so knowledgeable and add so much about the history and culture. Intrepid makes travel easy and you don't have to think, just enjoy!!

This review is written about the Vietnam Tour with Intrepid. From the start, the introduction plus the usefulI Intrepid Bag was a great start. Everyone seemed to mix well, arrive on time and be mindful of one another. Our Tour Leader had a great sense of humour, was clear in his communication and very approachable which made for a relaxing trip. The history of this country is brutal and sad and has come a long way in rebuilding from the destruction of war both on the minds, loss of life and on the continuation of the effects of Agent Orange on the present and future generations. The country is beautiful, the gardens, greenery, flowers, smiling people, cuisine, coffee, art work, mode of transportation all make for a wonderful experience. Let Intrepid take the hard work of planning out an Itinerary, meet new and interesting people and travel from the bottom to the top of Vietnam
