What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Vietnam
- Essential Vietnam (including Cat Ba Island)
this was my second time in vietnam, and the best time. the first time I did it independently and missed out on so much stuff! with my guide, Khanh, I saw so much more, had a great understanding of the culture and history, and got to eat the most incredible food in the world! can highly recommend a place in Hoi An called 'Bale Well' - Look it up!!! loved this trip from head to toe, especially the night on the Junk boat in Halong bay - so beautiful and great food
A pretty nice tour and worth to try. Although it was a bit hot and humid when I traveled in Vietnam, the food and the sceneries compensated for it. I have to say Vietnam has the most delicious food among the places Ive traveled to. Beside the good meals that were included in the tour, we had a chance to discover and tried other Viet food too because we had quite a lot of free time on own. We could go and explore some beautiful spots in Vietnam and was taken care of our passionate tour guide but we could also discover the country by ourselves on the days we had flight. it was perfect for people like me who dont wanna miss any beautiful attractions and still have time for my own. Nice trip!

- Vietnam Best Deal in 8 Days (Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang & Hanoi Small Group Tour)
TourRadar was an excellent tour operator. They were highly communicative before and during the trip which made everything easy and seamless while travelling to & through Vietnam. We were able to see so much in a short amount of time, but also had some downtime in between to do and see things at our own leisure as well. I would definitely use TourRadar again for future travels!
