FAQ

Accommodation - Catering - Transport

1. Can you provide me with more details about the night train?

Each train cabin is equipped with 4 soft berths. The amenities are located outside the cabins and are shared. The trains may experience vibrations and have a speed of only 50 to 60 km/hour. While the trains in our country are less comfortable than those in Europe, a night on the train will provide you with an experience of this type of local transportation.

2. What are the dishes to try during the trip?

Vietnamese cuisine is incredibly diverse and delicious. With a gastronomic variety from North to South, you can find many tasty specialties. Each region has its own unique flavors and local dishes. Here is a list of dishes not to miss according to the region:

- In the North: During your stay in Hanoi, be sure to try Pho (beef rice noodle soup), Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich), Vietnamese spring rolls (Nem), and the legendary Egg Coffee, a Hanoi specialty.

- In the Central region: You must taste Bun Bo Hue, considered "one of the best soups in the world," and Cao Lau in Hoi An.

- In the South, the Mekong Delta region is renowned for its Vietnamese pancake, Banh Xeo.

3. What type of vehicle is scheduled for my trip?

We provide well-maintained, comfortable private cars with air conditioning for your trip. They are often equipped with a cooler, allowing you to have cold water bottles. The number of seats will depend on the number of participants. Here are our criteria:

Number of travelers 2-3 4-8 9-15  16-20
Car size Private 7-seater car 16-seater minibus 24-seater bus 35 or 45-seater bus

Our drivers are professional, cautious, and friendly. If you wish, they are ready to make stops along the way so you can better admire a beautiful landscape, take photos, or simply relax.

4. Is it easy to find a restaurant for meals on our own? How much should I budget for a lunch/dinner?

Yes, you will have no trouble finding a restaurant. Our selected hotels are well-located, and you will have a wide range of choices for restaurants or local eateries. Your local guide will, of course, be available to recommend good places if needed. Please plan for around 7-10 dollars per person for a hearty meal.

5. Can I change the nights at the homestays to hotel accommodations?

Yes, it is entirely possible to stay in a hotel instead of a homestay if the latter does not suit your preferences. Your trip is private and customized; please let us know your preferences, and we will adjust the itinerary accordingly.

6. How do homestays work?

This type of accommodation is often offered during your stay in the Northern mountains. Host families, carefully selected by our team, provide you with rooms or private spaces in their traditional houses (made of wood or on stilts). Mosquito nets, mattresses, clean sheets, blankets, and a fan are also provided on-site. The shared bathroom and toilets are located outside the house but not too far from the sleeping area. Your English-speaking guide is always there to assist and adapt the situation to facilitate communication with the family. Please prepare a backpack with your necessary belongings, as the rest of your luggage will be transported by car.
