Customized Vietnam Tours and Trips

A great Vietnam trip is often about knowing what not to squeeze in. You could spend your mornings eating bánh mì and phở in Hanoi, disappear into the northern hills for a few days, sleep aboard a junk in Ha Long Bay, or linger in Hoi An long enough to cycle the countryside and learn to cook a few local dishes. Farther south, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta bring an entirely different pace and character. With customized Vietnam tours, there is no obligation to race through all of it. Our local experts help you choose the regions worth your time, work around Vietnam’s different weather patterns and arrange the right combination of flights, road journeys, guides and slower days. Start with an existing itinerary or create a customized tour to Vietnam entirely around the way you want to travel.

Planning a Trip to Vietnam: Essential Travel Tips & Insights

Get expert travel insights for Vietnam - discover the best time to visit, ideal trip duration, and must-visit destinations to help you plan and customize your perfect tour.

When to go to Vietnam

Vietnam’s weather patterns shift from temperate to tropical as you move north to south. Many travelers consider the months of March and April to be the best time to discover Vietnam as this is when the country experiences the most moderate temperatures. July to August is summer in the country and is usually humid and uncomfortable, while the monsoon between May and June can disrupt your travel plans. Learn more .

How long to stay in Vietnam

Four to five days in Vietnam can take you to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Ha Long Bay. Extend it to a seven-day journey to ensure that Phu Quoc and Sapa are not out of reach. However, we suggest a ten-day long itinerary allowing time to explore the major sights along with lesser-known gems of the country without feeling rushed. Learn more .

Must-visit destinations in Vietnam

Ha Long is the iconic, limestone karst-dotted bay, but Lan Ha is a great choice for those seeking a less-crowded yet equally scenic alternative., The historic Hoi An offers a portal into the past with its merchant houses dating back to the 15th century, or trek through Sapa ’s lush landscape before sunning yourself on the beaches of Nha Trang. For those interested in history, there are the tunnels of Cu Chi, a 250-kilometer-long labyrinth spread underground around Ho Chi Minh City , while travelers looking for an escape in nature will be at home in the forested slopes of Ba Be National Park.

I was born and raised in Vietnam. I love my country, and I have always been passionate about travelling and wanting to share my experience with others. Travelling for me had never been limited to just Vietnam, and I extensively explored Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand as well. I began my travelling experience as an individual, exploring the areas close to Hanoi by motorbike. With time my trips became farther to different destinations, and I start organizing trips for my friends, which then became my profession. My country is full of beautiful places and friendly people, which inspired me to start a travel company. My company started as a very small family business, and now it has grown and offers more destinations in Indochina, which I know and love the same as my country. Even after 11 years of working, I still feel inspired to design trips for our travellers, offering them an authentic experience and not the ‘standard’ way of exploring the country. I believe that travelling is not limited to sightseeing and can always be something unique and different, whether through meeting interesting people, cooking a local meal, or heading off the beaten paths. Just let me know what you like to do, and I will find the perfect way to explore Indochina through the things you love.

I would skip this contiki and maybe just do specific countries you're interested in. The schedule was jam-packed with temple visits which were often very similar to one another. The Vietnam portion of the trip was party heavy which was a huge contrast to the front end of the trip.

The tour was great and well organized. I have always wanted to visit Ha Long bay and the temples in Cambodia so this trip covered that and a lot of other interesting parts of Vietnam. (We booked this trip due to the conflict in Iran making it too difficult to get to our Great Britain tour. We appreciated the opportunity to choose another tour without penalty) The one night on the water in Ha Long Bay was a great choice. For me two nights would be too much. The on-island event demonstrating making rice paper provided by the cruise line was demonstrated by someone who was not really proficient at it which took away from the experience and meant only one or 2 people decided to give it a try. Our travel director in Vietnam and Cambodia both did a great job. The pace of the activities was great. There was downtime when needed as we adjusted to the higher temperatures and humidity. There were bottles of cold water and towels when needed. The air-conditioned coaches were a great refresher between sites. The history was fascinating. It would be great to get some of that history in written form to have at the time and take away as there was so much to absorb. Maybe a timeline of the main events and where the things we were seeing were constructed or took place on that timeline would be great. Not too much detail or it would end up as a book! We did an optional activity to do some enameling. This was great but I thought the supplier or tour director needed to give more instruction and information at the event. At the most basic level we were putting the enamel into the copper pattern but no samples of what could be achieved were given and some people only filled in the spaces with solid colour not thinking that the colours could be blended to create a better artistic result. In all a great tour that balanced the sights with the culture, food and history well.

This is my third trip with Explore, I like the use of local guides and opportunities to visit places off the beaten track. I was a little sad that there was little flexibility when I had a problem just before the trip started, hence the 4 stars, but all's well that ends well. On the whole this tour exceeded expectations, the carefully chosen itinerary meant we avoided overcrowding in places like Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta. We were a bit disappointed that we couldn't visit My Lai, putting this down to the small size of our group. Perhaps this needs removing from the options if it can't be offered. Our local guide, Long, was excellent and took good care of us. His extensive knowledge really helped us understand the many facets of Vietnam. We particularly enjoyed opportunities to see daily life, local markets and a local coconut factory. We didn't just bring home photographs, we brought home many happy memories.

An amazing experience! Very organised my contiki with great destinations to visit & plans.

Richard L. | Traveled in May

Thoroughly enjoyable trip which provided a great insight of modern Vietnam and its history and a good starting perspective on Angkor Wat and the Temples and history around the complex. Interesting and knowledgable local guides provided a helpful backdrop and the trips and experiences were many and varied. If there was an opportunity I would have scored 4.5 stars as there are always tweaks that can be made but we have come away happy to travel with Trafalgar again .
