Frequently Asked Questions
When does the tour begin - on the 9th or 8th? Is the last day of the trip also the day everyone leaves?
The tour begins on the 9th September, but not until the evening. Therefore, if you want you can land on the 9th September. Some guests like to arrive a day earlier and book a pre-night of accommodation though so that they feel a bit more settled. It's entirely up to you. You're also correct, the last day of the trip is when everyone leaves too. It's a bit of a chilled checkout day. Some people like to stay on, others will get flights straight away.
Do you have any other dates available? Interested in travel dates 11-26 Nov 2026, with departure on Tuesday 24 November, 2026.
Currently we only have one departure live in November. However, there's a possibility we could open up a departure on the 16th November. This tour would finish on the 28th November. Although as the final evening just consists of a farewell dinner, some guests can choose to leave the evening of the 27th November if necessary.
Is there a hard age limit with this tour?
While our TruTravels tours have a maximum age limit of 45, our parent company, G Adventures, offers amazing Vietnam tours with no upper age limit.
I wonder if you would take one more person on these dates as these are the only ones I can take off from work.
I have checked with our ops team but I'm afraid this departure is completely full. Are there any other departure dates you could do?
Would be with my family this time. Is there a way to avoid overnight bus?
As the trip is a set itinerary we don't have any alternative methods of transportation in place. If you wanted to arrange alternative transportation yourself and meet up with us when we arrive that would be fine.
we are two couples, somewhat older than that, but nothing in the activities sounds in any way beyond us (except that only one of us drinks!) Is that a problem?
No we welcome all ages over 18+ that's no problem at all! Won't be an issue if only 1 drinks that's a personal choice :) As you want to do Cambodia as well would you be interested in doing our multi country tour that is both Vietnam and Cambodia?
