Lunar New Year is an annual festival that runs for several days. This is a fascinating and rewarding time to see the country, 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 locals are travelling around the country. Please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Our intrepid trip was well organised with every attention to detail taken care of. It was great knowing that we were in safe hands whilst experiencing a new country. Would highly recommend to others and will definitely rebook with this company.

This tour is a great way to experience Vietnam. Busy, with early morning starts but packed with variety and opportunities to see the country, meet the people and get to know something of their culture and cuisine.

A great introduction to Vietnam but you’ll definitely want to go back for more. I’d suggest arriving early in Ho Chi Minh and leaving time at the end for Hanoi.

Intrepid’s Veitnam trip was a easy trip to organise and plan for. As soon as we arrived in the country most of our needs were already catered for. We loved our holiday and would book another for sure.

This is a fast paced trip to see the highlights of Vietnam. If you have limited time it is excellent. The hotel choices are great. If you’re lucky enough to get Trang as group leader her knowledge astounded me

This was my first time doing a group trip and booking with Intrepid - it certainly did not disappoint! I was nervous about all the planning (visas, packing list etc) and I felt so supported the entire time. I had everything I needed for the trip. The tour guides and itinerary were INCREDIBLE. If you’re hesitant - just do it!
