Culture Trips in Vietnam 2024/2025

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Vietnam by joining one of our cultural tours in this beautiful country. From the Temple of Literature to Sapa to the Old Quarter of Hanoi, there is so much to explore and learn on a cultural trip to Vietnam. Visit the Imperial City in Hue and then the War Remnants Museum in Hanoi. Both these places have huge cultural significance to modern-day Vietnam—one showing the older, imperial past of Vietnam and the other dealing with the darker war-torn period. A Vietnam culture trip can easily be combined with one of our Vietnam walking tours, where you can explore the historical and cultural landmarks, vibrant streets and marketplaces. You can wander around from the Cu Chi Tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City, which soldiers used in the war to get around in secret. You can rent a scooter or a motorbike in Hanoi and zip through the traffic to visit the local sites and attractions with relative ease.

A fantastic time....

“This is a late review but I wanted to add the avalanche of positive reviews for this trip. Vietnam is not one of the 'main' tourist destinations, but it should be. Its a lovely country with a rich history and a friendly people.”
Highly recommend!

  • John Smith
“My wife and I recently returned from an incredible trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. Excellently planned tour. All went smoothly, and we had terrific days. We loved that we saw a little bit of every country and its major highlights, but it wasn't rushing from place to place, we had plenty of free time and visited some places which are not for mass tourism. Esther did an excellent job in planning and coordinating all local guides, flights, and tours. It went perfectly. Many thanks to the travel specialist”
Well planed!

  • Edana Garcia
“A beautiful 14-day private tour. We had wonderful, hospitable guides and stunning hotels. The travel specialist made our itinerary perfect for seeing a lot of destinations in just 14 days. We also had a good mix of active and leisure days. Phuket Beach is a delight; my family might visit Thailand again the following year. Recommend!”

Culture Trips in Vietnam

Highlights of Cultural Trip in Vietnam

  • Cruise down the ancient Perfume River during your trip to the Imperial City in Hue. Along the way, you can hear traditional Hue songs, see the sunset, and get great views of Imperial-era architecture.
  • Soak up traditional architecture, filled with columns, wraparound porches, and opulent tiling, and find movie magic at the Binh Thuy Ancient House in the Mekong Delta. This house has been used in dozens of movies and is a beautiful example of traditional French-Chinese-Vietnamese architecture.
  • Meet locals and grab souvenirs at the Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City. Popular traditional and culturally significant items include hand-woven and painted silk scarves, which have poetic imagery of popular Vietnamese cultural stories on them!
  • Visit the pagodas of the Marble Mountains, including the most famous, the Tam Thai Pagoda. Many temples and pagodas in Vietnam were built by Mahayana Buddhists and Nguyen Dynasty Kings.
  • Enjoy a cultural sightseeing tour of Hanoi. This bustling metropolis has attractions, including the One Pillar Pagoda and the illustrious Presidential Palace!

Travel Tips for Vietnam Culture Tours

  • Be respectful of the local customs. As many of the cultural trips in Vietnam will include religious places like temples or pagodas, make sure you are dressed modestly.
  • Do not plan your visit to cultural sites during public holidays, as many of them are closed.
  • Tip your guides for their services during your Vietnam culture tour.
  • Keep an eye on the traffic. If you are on a walking cultural tour in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, remember that the traffic and bikes are a law unto themselves. Pay close attention to your guide when crossing the streets.
  • Dive into the street food scene during your Vietnam trip, as food is a huge part of the country’s culture.
