Vietnam Tours and Trips 2024/2025

Vietnam has a complex history that shapes much of its modern life. We recommend visiting the cultural religious and historic sites of Ho Chi Minh City, including a tour of the Củ Chi tunnels leftover from the Vietnam War. Head North for a boat cruise on Ha Long Bay, or visit the capital city of Hanoi to discover its temples, museums and delicious street food.

“I have just completed my third tour with this travel specialist. First being Bali in 2017, Mexico last year in 2022 and just now Vietnam in 2023. I don't have a bad word to say about this company! The booking and customer support team are attentive and quick to respond. Each destination's itinerary was thoroughly planned out and ran extremely smoothly. I got to see parts of these countries and did excursions and activities that I wouldn't even know where to begin booking myself! The airport pickup is awesome, you literally just need to arrive at the airport with an open mind and you get spoilt getting shown around these stunning destinations. Their tour guides are second to none - shout out Jurgen (Mexico) & Lucas (Vietnam)! Don't overthink it, just book it! You will have the trip of a life time to remember forever.”

“Lucas - what a G. Been on a few of these tours and no other guide done as much as Lucas. Absolute gent who made our trip what it was. 10/10 couldn’t fault him. Everything was seamless and any issues were quickly sorted by Lucas. Tour was well organised and varied. Look forward to him visiting the UK where I’ll be waiting for him at the airport. All the best,W”

“Lucas is an absolute legend, As soon as we got here he checked we are all good. Me and my girlfriend stupidly managed to leave our hotel room door open on the first night we were out and he rang to check what had happened and checked the room cctv to ensure it was us and no one had gone in and opened our room. We also found that he had been ill with dengue fever just before our trip. Although recovering he didn’t let that affect the trip at all. Alongside that a few days in he had tooth problems also. Could tell he was in pain but he was Always on it. Never let it affect his work ethic or the trip. Despite the whole group checking if he was okay and needed to go get things sorted he cracked on and worked hard. Always Checking everyone was happy and sorted. Made it fun had a good laugh and showed us some horrendous but funny ‘magic tricks’ Its been my first time in Asia longest time away from home and came with my girlfriend who has travelled South America before but even she agreed he made it so easy and welcoming and is just an all round legend. Cheers to Lucas”

Vietnam - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Beautiful, serene, and enchanting is how every trip to Vietnam feels. Fly into Hanoi to start your Vietnam explorations in the north and adjust yourself to the local culture.  For something entirely unique, hire an open-sided river boat and drift along the Mekong River to enjoy some of the most spectacular views of the country that you’ll ever see. Holidaying in Vietnam is a constant bombardment on your senses. There are times when it feels downright ridiculous, but there are also times when it leaves you mesmerized.

Tour Highlights

  • Explore the Temple of Literature in Hanoi
  • Cruise down the Mekong Delta
  • Climb the Marble Mountains
  • Witness the art and architecture of Khai Dinh Tomb
  • Take a boat tour along the Ngo Dong River to Tam Coc
  • Visit the Thien Mu Pagoda
  • Visit the amazing rice terraces in Sapa

Travel Tips

  • Vietnam is a very safe country, but be wary of petty crime. Passerbys on motorbikes may try to steal your bags, and theft on sleeper buses is common. Do not carry valuable items and keep a secure hold of your cameras and cellphones.
  • Be sure to haggle whenever visiting markets or buying from street vendors. Try to figure out what the going rate really is, as vendors will always inflate their prices if they think they can get away with it. Pro tip: you’ll always get your lowest price as you walk away. 
  • The Vietnamese consider public displays of anger to be very embarrassing. Try not to raise your voice, cross your arms, or lose your temper.
  • Wi-Fi is very common in Vietnam, and is often free in hotels, hostels, cafes and restaurants.
  • The food you will eat in Vietnam will depend heavily on what area of the country you visit. Central Vietnam is full of spicy foods, while they love sugar in the South. Food in the North tends to be seasonal. Be sure to try Bún Chả and Pho (pronounced Fuh).

Vietnam has seasonal weather so please do check up on best time to visit Vietnam before planning your tour.

Tours in Vietnam - Questions and Answers

  • What is the best month to visit Vietnam?

    The best time to visit Vietnam is from December through March, since temperatures are not overbearing during this time of year, hovering between 20°C to 26°C, and the rainfall light. Vietnam’s weather during March and even early April allows for tours right across the country, although it can be a little colder in the north. Mid-April through June and September to November are considered low seasons because they see two periods of monsoon rain. Temperatures rise alongside humidity during these months, and you will need to be prepared for downpours, which can flood roads and cut off access to destinations. July and August are very hot, with nighttime temperatures hovering at around 26°C. You can find more information here.

  • Is Vietnam expensive to visit? Do I need a visa?

    Most travelers will find Vietnam an inexpensive country to visit. As our ultimate travel guide for Vietnam explains, both budget and luxury travelers are well catered for without having to break the bank. Good backpacker hostels will only set you back by around USD 10 per night. However, most consider staying in hotels during a Vietnam tour, since rooms in decent hotels even in big cities can cost as little as USD 40 per person, per night. Transportation is also a great value for money, and food is relatively cheap for the quality and quantity you will receive. Museum entry is usually around USD 2 per ticket.

    Most nationals who wish to travel to the country require a visa, obtainable from your nearest Vietnamese embassy for USD 60 to USD 100 per person.

  • How many days do you need in Vietnam?

    Knowing how long to spend in Vietnam is one of the tricks to having a great vacation. It is possible to cover the highlights of the country during a seven-day tour. However, for greater insight into its history and people along with a feel for what makes Vietnam so special, we advise opting for a ten-day trip instead. With this duration, you can experience everything from the floating markets of the Mekong Delta to the rush-hour traffic of Ho Chi Minh City! Spend two weeks in Vietnam and you can travel from the north of the country to its south (or vice versa) without constantly checking your watch. For more insights on your travel duration, read through our travel article here.

  • Do they speak English in Vietnam?

    In Vietnam’s major tourist hubs, including the Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa, you will find plenty of people who speak English. Those working and operating hotels and tours will have decent English-language skills. English is primarily spoken by younger generations, with grandparents tending to speak French because of France’s colonial history in the country. In more far-flung destinations, such as the hill villages of the north, you may find locals speak nothing but Vietnamese, which is where a guide really comes in handy!

  • What is considered rude in Vietnam?

    Visitors to Vietnam need to be careful with gestures and physical contact. For instance, Vietnamese women do not usually shake hands. Hugging should also be avoided, along with patting people on the back – a sign of disrespect in the country. Also avoid the temptation to ruffle the hair of kids, since the head is sacred to the Vietnamese. When it comes to gesturing, pointing at objects or people should not be done with the index finger – use your thumb or pinky instead.  Have your palm facing down when you are calling someone since an open, upward-facing palm is meant for dogs only.
