What people love about Vietnam Tours for Young Adults
- Essential Vietnam (including Cat Ba Island)
We had a terrific guide Binh Bui Van who was very thorough and looked after our group of ten 24/7, We did the trip from Hanoi to the Mekong delta and it was an adventure from day one, Binh explained the history and culture of Vietnam as we went along, we did planes,trains,boats,trekking,bikes, motorbikes kayaks,ate delicious foods and mete a lot of very friendly locals all the time watched over by our guide Binh, He organised us from day one so we had no waiting around going from hotel to a bus or taxi to our next destination, I am 71 and my wife 61 and found no problem doing this trip,which included a 14 km walk to a village in the mountains for a homestay, brilliant. Thank you Binh.
- Vietnam Experience (Without Ha Giang Loop)
This trip was absolutely beyond expectations. I knew it was going to be amazing, but to say that Lisa made it ten times better than I could have imagined is an understatement. She truly goes out of her say to not only make every single person feel included, but to find out everything about anything you may need. Her knowledge of the history is super impressive & she knows basically everything, I swear! I'm going to make sure if I book a future contiki that Lisa will be the trip manager again!
- Vietnam Classic 12 Day - One Life Adventures
Absolutely amazing, couldn't fault the tour. So well pieced together giving us a slice of everything, testing your taste buds with local foods, emerging yourself into local culture and traditions, and not to mention, a whole new family by the end. Thank you One Life for a trip I'll remember for the rest of my life! For me it was definitely trying so much of the Vietnamese cuisine. I'm a huge foodie so from eating in the restaurants to the local street vendors, it was amazing. I can now say Vietnamese Banh Mi is my favourite ever food!
What our customers ask about Vietnam Tours for Young Adults
What's the nightlife scene like for young travelers in Vietnam?
The nightlife in Vietnam's major cities caters well to young travelers with distinct personalities. Hanoi's Old Quarter comes alive with busy beer corners and cozy music venues while Ho Chi Minh City features stylish rooftop lounges and dance clubs. In contrast Hoi An offers a more laid-back scene with riverside bars and beach lounges. Nha Trang draws younger crowds to its beach parties and seaside clubs. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The nightlife was surprisingly good - from street-side beer corners in Hanoi to sophisticated rooftop bars in Saigon."
What kind of accommodation can I expect on a young adult tour in Vietnam?
Young adult tours in Vietnam provide varied accommodation that balances comfort with local character. You'll stay in centrally located 3-star hotels like Thanh Binh 2 in Hoi An plus authentic village homestays. Many itineraries include unique experiences such as overnight train journeys and boat stays in Halong Bay. The rooms are typically twin-share rather than dorm-style. A TourRadar reviewer confirms: "The accommodation was way better than expected especially loved the twin share situation rather than big dorms."
What are the must-visit destinations for young travelers in Vietnam?
Vietnam's key destinations blend urban energy with natural beauty. Ho Chi Minh City offers modern nightlife while Hoi An enchants with its preserved old town. Halong Bay provides the perfect setting for boat excursions and Hanoi's Old Quarter pulses with street life and culture. Less visited gems include the limestone peaks of Ninh Binh and homestays in Pu Luong National Park. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The highlights were kayaking in Halong Bay cycling through Hoi An's rice paddies and the rooftop bars in Ho Chi Minh City."
What unique cultural experiences are included for young travelers?
Tours connect young travelers with authentic Vietnamese culture through hands-on activities. You'll cook traditional dishes stay with local families make lanterns in Hoi An and visit hill tribe communities in Sapa. Many trips include Vietnamese coffee workshops and guided market tours to understand daily life. One TourRadar reviewer noted: "The homestay in Pu Luong was incredible - we learned so much about local life while having fun with the group."
What's the best length of time for a Vietnam tour for young adults?
The sweet spot for Vietnam tours falls between 10-15 days with 12 days emerging as the ideal duration. This timeframe allows visitors to experience key destinations without feeling rushed. The Vietnam Explorer 13-day tour has become particularly popular as it balances structured activities with free time. A TourRadar review confirms: "12 days was perfect - enough time to see everything while keeping the energy high throughout."
How much spending money should I budget per day in Vietnam?
Young travelers should plan for USD 50-80 daily to cover personal expenses beyond tour costs. This budget easily handles street food meals (USD 2-5) local beers (USD 1-3) and shopping at markets like Ben Thanh in Ho Chi Minh City. The amount gives flexibility for both basic needs and extra activities while maintaining a comfortable yet budget-conscious experience.
