    What an amazing holiday! This truly is the way to see a new country, with experienced guides who are so proud of their beautiful country and so willing to share of themselves and their way of life. All our guides (Lam in Ho Chi Minh City, Minh in Hoi An and Duc in Ha Noi) spoke excellent English, and made the trips so much fun. Learning about another culture in such a short time is difficult but they made this easy. The tour was very well organised, from the moment we arrived in HCMC to the day we finished the tour. Accommodation was excellent, food was magnificent and they were able to cater for seafood allergies easily. I will definitely use this service again and highly recommend this for anyone travelling to Vietnam or nearby countries (Laos and Cambodia).

Best places to start your Vietnam tour

Our data shows Hanoi is the top choice for starting tours - 67 travelers began there recently, while 28 kicked off from Ho Chi Minh City. Da Nang and Hoi An aren't as common for tour starts but they're packed with great experiences. Most of our customers book about 3.5 months ahead, which works well for getting good options while making sure spots are still open in peak season. They love diving into the local coffee scene, visiting traditional craft workshops and connecting with families through homestays. Some of our most memorable feedback comes from travelers who've explored organic farming communities and spent time with local families away from tourist spots. For photos, you can't beat Sapa's morning markets and misty mountain scenes - they really capture Vietnam's old-world charm.

Who are you traveling with?

  • Group

    1,591 tours in Vietnam

    These Vietnam group tours blend cultural highlights with authentic experiences, earning high marks from our travelers year after year. The 9-day northern routes kick off in Hanoi where you'll ride rickshaws and sample street food delights before cruising Ha Long Bay overnight. For those with more time, our 12-day journeys cover Vietnam top to bottom with unique touches like mud fishing in the Mekong Delta, village eco-brick projects, and also hands-on cooking near Hue's Perfume River. What sets these trips apart are the overnight homestays in places like Ninh Binh, where guests naturally connect with local families while exploring limestone caves and cycling through rice fields. The 10-day middle option hits a sweet spot between cultural immersion and outdoor activities - you'll visit craft workshops, float lanterns on Thu Bon River, and also kayak through quieter sections of Ha Long Bay. Groups appreciate how we balance structured time with independent exploration; your morning might include cooking lessons from local families followed by free afternoons to wander Hoi An's historic lanes. Our guides consistently get top marks for sharing personal stories, while keeping the atmosphere social and relaxed.

  • Small Group

    1,020 tours in Vietnam

    These small group Vietnam journeys draw consistent praise for blending cultural depth with well-paced activities. The most sought-after 12-day route starts with foot badminton lessons from Ho Chi Minh City residents, setting a tone of local connection from day one. Guests form lasting bonds during their homestays in Pu Luong National Park, where bamboo rafting and waterfall hikes lead to unexpected discoveries. A popular 10-day south-to-north option weaves in hands-on activities like Perfume River cooking workshops and peaceful kayaking through Hoi An's historic canals. Our travelers frequently mention Ha Long Bay overnights as highlights, paddling into hidden caves and joining local fishermen for evening squid catching. Some tours delve deeper into village life, from traditional crafts in Hoi An's lantern workshops to authentic stays with H'mong families in their Sapa mountain homes. The success of these small groups comes from thoughtful pacing, mixing guided experiences with independent exploration time, especially in places like Hoi An where guests can explore the old quarter or take quiet bike rides through surrounding herb gardens at their own leisure.

Best time to visit Vietnam

  • Summer 2025

    Summer touring in Vietnam blends cultural discoveries with active experiences across our most requested 12-day routes. In Ho Chi Minh City's parks, travelers join local foot badminton games before exploring Hoi An's ancient waterways by kayak. The homestays tucked into Pu Luong National Park provide a cool retreat, where guests enjoy bamboo rafting and hikes to hidden waterfalls. Our community-focused programs include eco-brick building projects on village edges, and traditional cooking sessions beside the Perfume River bring Vietnamese cuisine to life. The extended 14-day journeys head into Sapa's mountains, connecting visitors with H'mong families in terraced valleys. TourRadar customers consistently name Ha Long Bay as their summer favorite, with limestone caves, fishing village visits, morning paddles and evening squid fishing alongside the boat crew. For families traveling with us, the 9-day circuits mix educational elements like lantern crafting workshops with cycling through rice fields, mud fishing in the Mekong Delta and other hands-on activities.

  • Fall / Autumn 2025

    Fall in Vietnam means harvest season, and it's especially beautiful up north. We've got routes that pair Sapa's terraced hills with overnight trains, which really helps make the most of your time. The weather's just right for getting active - you'll find yourself trekking mountain trails, exploring limestone caves by kayak and cycling quiet back roads. Down in the Mekong Delta, our travelers really enjoy getting into the local scene at floating markets and trying out traditional fishing methods. It's also prime time for food lovers; you'll pick up family recipes in Hue, dig into street food around Hanoi's Old Quarter and also join cooking sessions in centuries-old family homes.

  • Winter 2025 / 2026

    Winter in Vietnam brings mild temperatures that make cultural exploration really comfortable. When you join our Hanoi tours, you'll wander through ancient pagodas before heading out to Ha Long Bay for overnight cruises - there's nothing quite like waking up to those misty morning views. We've found a great mix between active and cultural experiences: you'll cycle through peaceful Mai Chau villages and then learn local recipes in family homes along Hue's Perfume River. The Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City are much more comfortable to explore in cooler weather, and our evening food walks through Hanoi's Old Quarter just hit different this time of year. If you're into photography, the morning light in northern Vietnam creates amazing shots - imagine the steam from hot noodle bowls rising against the colonial buildings.

  • Spring 2026

    The landscapes really come alive during Vietnam's spring months, and we've designed our routes to make the most of it. Starting from Hanoi, you'll get out on Ha Long Bay's emerald waters in kayaks and trek through Pu Luong National Park when the valleys are in full bloom. Our travelers keep telling us how much they love cycling around Hoi An, where the routes take you past rice fields bursting with flowers and onto small organic farms. You'll get properly immersed in local life - one day you're learning how to make traditional lanterns, the next you're cooking with a local family. The highlight for many is staying overnight in traditional stilt houses, where families often share their seasonal celebrations and craft-making with visitors.

What our customers ask about Vietnam Tours & Trips

  • When's the best time to visit Vietnam for great weather across the country?

    You'll find the nicest weather in spring around March-April and autumn September-October that's when most of Vietnam has perfect temperatures and hardly any rain. Up north it's really pleasant at 20-25°C in spring and you get these beautiful clear autumn days perfect for cruising Halong Bay or hiking in Sapa. The middle part like Hoi An and Hue has sunny days that are great for checking out old temples and beaches especially An Bang. Down south stays pretty warm all year between 25-35°C but these seasons are less humid with clearer skies perfect for exploring the Mekong Delta.

  • What kind of local cultural experiences can you actually join in Vietnam?

    There's so many ways to dive into real Vietnamese life you can learn da cao which is like foot badminton with locals in Ho Chi Minh City's Le Van Tam Park or cook imperial Hue dishes like bun bo Hue at this amazing historic place called Y Thao Garden House. In Hoi An's Tan An area you can make traditional lanterns and if you're early enough join the locals doing Tai Chi by Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. Up in Mai Chau you can even try your hand at rice farming with Thai villagers. For something more spiritual head to morning prayers at Tran Quoc Pagoda or learn proper Vietnamese tea ceremonies right in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

  • What natural areas can you visit outside the cities and how do you get there?

    Vietnam's got these incredible landscapes starting with UNESCO-listed Halong Bay you can cruise there from Hanoi. Pu Luong Nature Reserve is amazing with its limestone mountains and Thai villages get there by bus or car from Hanoi. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park has the world's biggest caves reach it from Dong Hoi and Cat Tien National Park is great for wildlife you can bus there from Ho Chi Minh City. Getting around's pretty easy with VIP sleeper buses overnight trains like the Reunification Express domestic flights or hiring local drivers who know all the mountain routes.

  • Which places in Vietnam are really special but don't get too many tourists?

    There's these amazing hidden spots like Mai Chau valley just 3 hours from Hanoi with beautiful stilt houses and rice terraces. Ninh Binh's Tam Coc is like an inland version of Halong Bay with limestone cliffs and ancient temples. Ba Be National Park has Vietnam's biggest natural lake and these interesting Tay villages while Con Dao Islands mix pristine beaches with historic sites. Ha Giang's got these incredible mountain roads and unique Hmong culture and Kon Tum lets you experience real Central Highlands ethnic minority life.

  • What are the must-try local dishes and where should you eat them?

    Every region's got its specialties in Hanoi you've got to try pho especially at Pho Gia Truyen in the Old Quarter and bun cha at Bun Cha Huong Lien that's the place Anthony Bourdain made famous. Hue's known for banh khoai these amazing savory pancakes at Dong Ba Market while Hoi An has cao lau these special noodles they only make with local well water best at Morning Glory restaurant. Down in Saigon don't miss com tam broken rice with grilled pork at Com Tam Ba Ghien. Street food tours are really the way to go in each city and if you hit the morning markets you'll get the freshest stuff.
