1Best time to visit Vietnam — by region

4Practical Vietnam travel tips

The questions travellers ask us most — answered in one place.

VisaMany passports enter visa-free for a short stay; most others apply for an e-visa online. Check the rules for your passport before booking.
Money & cardsThe currency is the Vietnamese dong. Cards work in hotels and city restaurants; carry cash for markets and villages.
SIM & eSIMMobile data is cheap and fast. Buy a SIM at the airport or install an eSIM before you fly.
Getting aroundShort domestic flights link the regions; private car, limousine bus or night train to Sapa, Ha Giang and Halong.
Tipping & etiquetteTips are appreciated, never expected. Cover shoulders and knees in temples and pagodas.
Safety & healthVietnam is a safe, welcoming country for travellers. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

FAQ

7Thanh Toan Bridge — FAQ

How many days do I need for Vietnam?

For a first visit, 10–14 days lets you see the north (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Ninh Binh or Sapa) and the centre (Hue, Hoi An) without rushing. Add 3–4 days for Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. With only a week, focus on one region — usually the north.

Is it better to travel north to south or south to north?

Both work — choose by the weather in your months. Most itineraries start in Hanoi and finish in Ho Chi Minh City, but we can reverse any tour so you arrive and leave from the most convenient airport.

Are flights between cities included?

It depends on the tour: the card and the day-by-day plan show "Flights" when domestic flights are included. If they are not, we can book them for you at the same time and match them to the itinerary.

Can you change the tour for my family or my dates?

Yes. We can shorten or lengthen the programme, slow the pace for children or older travellers, change hotels and add transfers. Tell us what you need in the enquiry form.

When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are pleasant almost everywhere. The north is cool from December to February; the centre has its rainy season from about October to December; the south is dry from December to April. See the month-by-month table on this page.

Do I pay anything when I ask for a price?

No. Checking the price is free and without obligation. We confirm availability, the plan and the final price on WhatsApp first; you only pay once you are happy with it.

Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Many nationalities can enter Vietnam visa-free for a limited stay, and almost everyone else can apply for an e-visa online before travelling. Rules change, so check the official requirements for your passport before you book — we are happy to help.

Is the tour private or shared?

Each card shows it: private tours give you your own guide (and car where transport is included) on your dates; small-group tours share the guide with other travellers and usually cost less per person.
