Our Vietnam experience with Intrepid could not have been better! Despite arriving during the most recent typhoon with changes in our itinerary needing to be made it was a magnificent adventure. Our Guide was exceptional, the itinerary was perfect, and accommodations and meals were excellent. We definitely recommend The Vietnam experience with Intrepid.
