FAQ

Frequently asked questions

1. Can a 7-day trip cover from North to South Vietnam?

Yes, a 7-day trip can cover North to South Vietnam, but you should focus on key highlights to make the most of your time, such as: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.

2. When is the best time to hike in different regions of Vietnam?

At Kampá Tour, we recommend the following times for hiking in Vietnam based on our extensive experience:

North Vietnam: The best time to hike is in October, November, and December. The weather is cool and dry during these months, meaning the trails aren’t too muddy, and visibility is generally good.
Central Vietnam: We suggest hiking in the spring months of March, April, and May. It’s usually sunny but not too hot, and rainstorms tend to be brief.
South Vietnam: The south is hot all year, but there is some respite during the winter months of December and January, making this the best time to trek in this region.

These recommendations ensure you have a pleasant and enjoyable hiking experience across Vietnam.

3. What are the hotels offered for this trip? Can I choose the hotels myself?

The suggested hotels will be specified in the detailed itinerary. We include well-located hotels in the quote that have been well-received by our clients. You can also suggest hotels of your preference to have services to your liking; rest assured, we can offer customized services and tours.

4. Do you offer diving or snorkeling excursions for free days on the islands?

During your free time on the island, we leave you free to relax, but we can certainly arrange excursions to the nearby small islands. These are typically group excursions with English-speaking guides/instructors. You can also inquire with the hotel about these excursions.

5. What is the level of the proposed hikes?

We engage in hikes of an easy to moderate level, lasting from 3 to 5 hours. However, the duration and difficulty of the hikes depend on your health condition. This private program can be customized on-site.

6. Are international flights included in your travel packages?

We do not include international flights in our travel packages for economic reasons. Indeed, the cost of international tickets would be more expensive if we were to arrange them from Vietnam. Although unusual, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, airfares tend to be cheaper if purchased from the country of departure. We can provide advice on this if needed.

7. What is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The dry season from mid-October to April is ideal for visiting Cambodia due to its mild weather, clear blue skies, and minimal rainfall. From May to September, although it is the rainy season, the rain typically lasts only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny, making sightseeing still possible.

An Unforgettable 17-Day Journey from North to South Vietnam

August 18, 2025 - Hello Lan Duong, I’m finally taking the time to write to thank you for the excellent work in organizing and managing our trip to Vietnam. We absolutely loved the itinerary—everything was perfect! The guides you chose were fantastic. Huan and Hong Anh Dang were so knowledgeable and shared so much about your beautiful country with us. Their English was excellent, and it was also wonderful to have a female guide on the team. The hotels were great, and the evenings spent with local families were a real highlight. The bus was very comfortable, and the driver was friendly, careful, and professional—TOP marks! We were especially lucky with our Halong Bay cruise: only ten people on the boat, a fantastic guide, and the weather was incredible—clear skies and perfect visibility. We’ve already recommended your services to a friend who lives in Ho Chi Minh City and often hosts visitors—he will definitely reach out to you. All the food throughout the trip was deli

You listened to us and perfectly solved every little issue we encountered. This is truly a trustworthy travel agency that travelers can fully rely on.

At the start of our journey, since we knew nothing about Vietnam, our guide in Hanoi, Hoa, had the difficult task of introducing us to the country’s culture and history. He succeeded brilliantly, making us eager to discover many aspects of your culture. The visit to the Museum of Ethnology and the Temple of Literature, as well as experiencing the bustling life of Hanoi, will remain

3 Weeks in Vietnam: A Tapestry of Authentic Experiences

March 11, 2025 - Hello, It has already been two weeks since we left your beautiful country, but we continued traveling after that and just returned today. That's why I haven't written to you earlier. I just filled out the review following the links you sent me. We really enjoyed the trip you organized for us. It was very informative, interesting, pleasant, and comfortable for people of our age. The drivers were great, especially the one who took us to Siem Reap. Heang is excellent, thoughtful, smiling, and speaks some English. The guides are very knowledgeable and all of them were really interesting and attentive to our interests. We especially enjoyed Inthasone, the lady who made us appreciate Laos, and Mr. Nam with whom we discovered rural life. Two charming and humorous people! But they were all impeccable! I thank and congratulate them. The hotels were always well-located and comfortable. A big thank you for the flawless organization and follow-up of our trip! I wish y
