Introduction
Vietnam has long been one of our most popular destinations, with travellers flocking from around the world to uncover the tropical jungles, golden sand beaches, thriving cities and turbulent history of this emerging nation. As a large country with an unfamiliar culture and language, Vietnam is a prime destination for escorted tours. Guided tours take all the hassle out of exploring Vietnam, and ensure you get to see as much of the country as possible in a fun and efficient itinerary, escorted by an expert guide. In this article, we’ll explain why YOU should take a guided tour of Vietnam this year.
5 Reasons to Take a Guided Tour of Vietnam
Logistics: Sorted
Do you know the best way to travel from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, or the best company to book a Halong Bay cruise with? No? Well with a guided tour of Vietnam, you don’t need to worry about it! Our curated itineraries are packed with memorable activities and experiences, and we organise everything for you. All you need to do is turn up!
Efficient Exploration
Vietnam is huge, and if you’ve only got a week or two to explore, it can be difficult to plan your route so that you see and do as much as possible. With guided tours, your itinerary is streamlined to ensure you cover as much of the country as possible, taking in everything from Hanoi and Halong Bay to Hoi An, Hue and the Mekong Delta.
Safety and Comfort
Travelling with a guided tour ensures a level of safety and comfort when exploring Vietnam. Our expert guides are well-versed in local customs, safety protocols, and potential challenges. This allows you to focus on enjoying the experience without the stress of navigating unknown territories, making your journey through Vietnam more relaxing and enjoyable.
Make new friends
Our group tours in Vietnam bring together like-minded travellers from around the English-speaking world. Whether you’re travelling solo, or with friends or family, you are sure to make new friends on tour. In fact, very often we see travellers rebooking to explore another destination with the friends they made on their first trip! If you prefer to travel with only your friends or family, then consider our private tours to Vietnam.
Local Cuisine Expertise
One of the highlights of any trip to Vietnam is its delectable cuisine. On a guided tour of Vietnam with us, our guides are always on hand to guide you through the vibrant street markets and authentic eateries. They can advise the best places to head out for dinner, and you'll have the chance to savour traditional dishes, learn about their origins, and gain a deeper appreciation for Vietnamese gastronomy.

Group Tours VS Private Tours to Vietnam
We offer both group and private tours in Vietnam. There are key similarities with these two types of travel. You will still enjoy all of your accommodation, transportation and sightseeing included in your tour package. With a group tour, your guide escorts the group for the entire trip, whereas on private tours you will enjoy the services of local guides for your included sightseeing. The biggest difference is that with private tours, you travel only with your friends and family, as opposed to group touring which sees a group of like-minded, English-speaking strangers come together to explore Vietnam together.

The Best Escorted Tours of Vietnam & Cambodia
