Hello, I'm hoping to finalize some vacation plans for either the last week of November or the first/second week of December. For a first-time visitor to Vietnam, what would be an ideal number of days to allocate, and is the specified time period generally recommended for travel?
We will be arriving in Hanoi toward the end of October, and are currently planning a single-day excursion to Ninh Binh with our two children. Which location would be the better choice for us: Trang An or Tam Coc? Also, what would be the perfect schedule for the day trip—should we skip the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital entirely? Lastly, are there any reliable places near these sites where we can...
I have a trip planned for the last two weeks of March next year with my 2 teenagers. I'm pretty solid on most of our plans, but have about 5 nights that I'm deciding how we should spend them from Hanoi:1) this is where I'm currently at: 2 nights Mai Chau (be there for the sunday morning market), 2 nights Ninh Binh; 1 night Halong Bay Cruise (read alot of...

Hello everyone; we are visiting Hoi An in early December and are wondering whether it would be better to base ourselves in the town center (and commute to the beach) or vice versa? We plan to stay for one week and would appreciate input on which area offers more interesting spots to 'wander around' and explore on foot. Thank you.

Save Regarding the private car transfer from Ha Long Bay back to Hanoi airport, would it be better to pre-book this now from home? Alternatively, is it secure to arrange the transport once we have arrived in Hanoi?
We are organizing a family reunion in Vietnam for Feb 2026. My wife and I will fly from Bengaluru, while our daughter, her husband, and their one-year-old infant will join from Singapore. Her in-laws will also be traveling from Mumbai. Since there are no direct flights from Bengaluru, we are thinking of arriving in Ho Chi Minh City a few days early. We are very interested in booking a two-day...
Hello! We are hoping the knowledgeable members of this forum can assist us with our plans. We have secured our flights from the UK, arriving on April 19, 2026, and departing on May 8. We land in Ho Chi Minh City and leave from Hanoi. The dates of these flights are fixed. We have just become aware that our trip coincides with 4 public holidays: Sun 26 Apr: Hung Kings...
My travel group is planning a 4-night stay in Phu Quoc during mid-October, and we are trying to determine the ideal location for a clean beach, excellent dining, and lively bar choices. Our primary goals are relaxation, swimming, and possibly a boat or day excursion. We were considering Long Beach—specifically the area around the Pullman or Intercontinental—but recent information suggests Khem Beach might be superior this time of year. Khem...
We are planning a visit to Da Nang and Hoi An next March/April and intend to include a day trip to the Ba Na Hills. We're trying to figure out the most suitable city for departure. Could anyone recommend a reliable transfer operator for this route? Our group is a family of six, with ages ranging from 15 up to 76 years old. Thank you in advance!
Hello, I will be spending five days in Da Nang and am seeking suggestions on how to incorporate the areas surrounding the city into my itinerary. I'm open to any ideas regarding activities I could potentially do at Son Tra Peninsula and Hai Van Pass. What are the most effective ways to reach these locations? Which viewpoints are the best, and do you have any specific travel tips? Furthermore, concerning...

My thoughts on Nha Trang I’m just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here.My thoughts on Nha Trang I'm just leaving Nha Trang after 4 days here. 4 weeks in Vietnam. I've loved every bit, except for Nha Trang. It's full of Russians, the signs are often in Russian.I never had a thing about Russians before this, but by golly, I've been bruised by them on the street, as they just push past you, no manners in giving (even a fraction), when pushing...+2
