The recommended beach resorts depend on the time of your trip. As mentioned in the previous response, if you're traveling during the winter and spring (from November to April), we suggest Nha Trang, Phu Yen, and Vung Tau, which are beach resorts located on the southeast coast of the country. Alternatively, you can choose Con Dao or Phu Quoc, two islands located on the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Thailand, respectively. If you're traveling during the summer and autumn (from May to October), the beaches in Da Nang and Hoi An would be perfect choices.
To fully enjoy the sights and experiences Vietnam has to offer as outlined, you should plan for a minimum of 2 weeks. Allocate approximately 12 days for sightseeing, ensuring you have ample time to explore the diverse regions from north to south. After your sightseeing adventure, allow yourself an additional 2 to 3 days to unwind and relax on one of Vietnam's beautiful beaches.
This itinerary ensures you can immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and bustling cities of Vietnam, followed by well-deserved leisure time by the sea.
Vietnam has a varied climate from north to south due to its different topographies and the length of the country (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, the other, on the contrary, can be pleasantly sunny. A classic tour from north to south with a beach break during or at the end of the journey can be done throughout the year. If you travel in winter and spring (from November to April), it is recommended to spend your beach stay in the southern part of the country, such as Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Con Dao, or Phu Quoc. If you travel in summer and autumn (from May to October), the beaches of Da Nang and Hoi An will be suitable.
The price provided for this tour does not include international flights and is calculated based on 4 people with standard hotels. This tour is private and includes customized services. The price varies depending on the travel period, the chosen service category, and, most importantly, the number of travelers (the fewer people, the more expensive the trip, and vice versa). We invite you to contact us to obtain a detailed quote for your trip.
We do not include international flights in our quotes for economic reasons. Indeed, the cost of international tickets will be more expensive if we handle them from Vietnam. Although it may seem strange, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, airfares tend to be more affordable when purchased from the country of departure. If you would like more specific information about airlines and tips for finding cheap tickets, please contact us.
If you are from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, or Belarus, you do not need a visa for Vietnam for stays up to 45 days. Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic have a special exemption from March 1 to December 31, 2025, for organized tours.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States are NOT visa-exempt and must obtain a visa before arrival. You have three options:
For the smoothest process, we highly recommend the E-Visa. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months and have proof of onward travel. Contact us for visa assistance.
For French citizens, you are exempt from a visa for a stay of up to 15 days in Vietnam. For travelers of other nationalities (such as Belgians, Swiss, Canadians, etc.), an E-visa is recommended, and this type of visa can be easily applied for online on the Vietnamese Immigration website. The Cambodian visa can be obtained directly upon arrival at an international airport in Cambodia (Phnom Penh/Siem Reap) or at the border port on the Mekong (during your boat transfer from southern Vietnam to Phnom Penh). Our agency will assist you with all the visa application procedures when booking your trip.
Yes, Thailand and Laos share borders with Cambodia and Vietnam. You can add Laos or Thailand to your trip, but you'll need to extend your journey by at least 5-7 days. You can travel from Cambodia to Laos or Thailand by land or by air, and the same goes for traveling from Vietnam to Laos.
Yes, you can either have a beach break in Vietnam (on the beaches of Hoi An, Nha Trang, or Phu Quoc) or in Cambodia (beaches in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).
Yes, you can start the journey in Cambodia (in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap) and conclude it in Vietnam (in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Our travel advisor will tailor the tour itinerary to your preferences.
From Vietnam, you can go to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by water (traveling up the Mekong River by boat from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.
A panoramic tour of both countries will take a minimum of 15 days. With a few extra days or a week, you can further explore Vietnam by discovering its still authentic northern mountains or relaxing on one of its beautiful beaches (Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, etc.) or on a beach in Cambodia (such as Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).
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.
No specific vaccines are required, including the COVID-19 vaccine, by Vietnamese authorities for entry into Vietnam. As for malaria, vaccination is recommended if you're going on a tour with consecutive days of hiking in the forest and spending many nights with local residents. Otherwise, a mosquito repellent product is more than sufficient.
