What people love about Vietnam Tours in January
- Essence of Vietnam: Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay & Saigon in 7 Days
Our family took the Hanoi and HaLong cruise to Ho Chi Minh 7 days tour. This also included one day in Ninh Binh. Our guide, though very knowledgeable, made us feel as though he was rushing the entire day. He would take us to a site, talk about it for minutes and tell us we had 5 minutes to take pictures and wander around and then off to the next point. This barely gave time to go to the washroom (and with 2 small kids, this was a must). Our group had 8 people, our family was 4 of those 8. I was usually in the middle of the pack with the children and the people in the back, enjoying opportunities for photographs were usually at least 800 meters behind the guide. There were times when he was walking so far ahead we couldn't even see him. Then, when we went on the boat ride in Nihn Binh, he said the boat rides take 1.5-2 hours. When all of our group assembled after 2 hours, he was nowhere to be found for another 30 minutes. He sited "I told you it takes about 2 hours" as his reason for being 30 minutes late in his return. At every stop, he seemed to pride himself on being first to arrive/leave and that we were back in the city early. None of the other patrons tipped him. The guide we had the next day to Ha Long Bay was wonderful. The cruise and food were amazing. All the crew were very accommodating of our family's needs and supporting the children's eating habits well. My only complaint was that there was too much food! Another issue was that the boat that we were on was no where nearly as beautiful as the boat pictured on the website. My husband, who works as a director, who is trying to get a cruise company as a client, was very disappointed that the boat was not similar to the one pictured. Our guide in Ho Chi Minh who took us to the Cu Chi tunnels was incredible! He was knowledgeable, fun, accommodating, helpful and a really great guide! His English was excellent! Our guide of the Mekong Delta was very good as well. He was very knowledgeable. He gave us several transportation options during the trip (depending on individual physical needs). His English was very good as well.
- Best of Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi 7 Days - Super Save
Travelling in Vietnam, South to North!!! We had a lot of help from Tony in Hanoi and in the Phu Thinh Resort in Hoi an. The hotels were good and we had guides to experience the country. It was very efficient og we felt safe. Super save our money but super quality we got!!! Thank you so much! Amazing trip!
- Vietnam Intro 9 Day
Always wanted to visit Vietnam and so glad I done it through VietnamIntro and not on my own as I'd planned! Our guide Alan was great, and I had a blast doing so many different things I wouldn't have even thought of trying had I travelled on my own as I planned. Met a great bunch of friends, hard to pick one favourite moment but really enjoyed the rickshaws exploring the cities and Hanoi at night! The accommodation and food is good value and I can't wait to save up for another Intro trip
What our customers ask about Vietnam Tours in January 2026
How much do tours typically cost in Vietnam during January?
Tour prices in Vietnam during January generally run between $650 to $2480 for 6-11 day packages. An 8-day tour covering key destinations like Hanoi Halong Bay Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City costs around $1850 per person. This price includes stays at quality hotels like The Light Hotel Hanoi and Harmony Saigon Hotel alongside most meals and domestic flights.
What are the best places to visit in Vietnam during January?
The clear January skies make this an excellent time to explore Halong Bay from the deck of Paradise Sails Cruise. The ancient streets of Hoi An come alive with lantern-lit evenings while the Mekong Delta offers peaceful boat tours through its waterways. Travelers on TourRadar often mention the Koi Resort in Hoi An and Ba Na Hills as standout experiences. The dry conditions create perfect opportunities for exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and wandering through Hanoi's Old Quarter.
What's the weather like in different regions of Vietnam in January?
Vietnam's weather varies by region in January. The north including Hanoi sees temperatures of 18-20°C with little rain. Central regions like Hoi An and Hue maintain mild temperatures between 22-25°C with occasional light rain. The south including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta enjoys warm dry days at 25-30°C. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The January weather was perfect for exploring - cool enough in Hanoi for comfortable walking tours but warm enough in the south for enjoying the beaches."
Is January a good time for cruising Halong Bay?
Clear visibility and comfortable 20°C temperatures make January one of the top months for Halong Bay cruises. Operators like Le Journey Cruise and La Pandora Cruise run regular trips offering kayaking and cave exploration. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Cruising Halong Bay in January was magical - the cool weather and clear visibility made for stunning photos of the limestone karsts."
How busy are tourist attractions in Vietnam during January?
January marks peak season across Vietnam's popular destinations. Expect more visitors at key sites like Hanoi's Temple of Literature and Hoan Kiem Lake. Premium accommodations including The Myst Dong Khoi in Ho Chi Minh City and Apricot Hotel in Hanoi often reach full capacity early. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The Ancient Town in Hoi An was bustling with activity but staying at the Silkotel Hoi An provided a peaceful retreat from the crowds."
What kind of accommodations are available in Vietnam during January?
The high season brings a full range of lodging options. Hanoi offers the 5-star Apricot Hotel and boutique Tirant Hotel. Halong Bay features luxury vessels like Paradise Sails and La Pandora Cruise. In Ho Chi Minh City The Myst Dong Khoi represents the luxury end while Elios Hotel serves mid-range travelers well. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were all centrally located and provided excellent service during our January visit."
How far in advance should I book a Vietnam tour for January?
Peak season demands booking 3-4 months ahead minimum. Popular choices like Palm Garden in Hoi An and Doris Cruise in Halong Bay often sell out 6 months in advance. One TourRadar traveler advised: "We booked our January tour 4 months ahead and even then some of our preferred hotels were already full - early booking is essential."
