Compare Vietnam Tour Packages from the World’s Top Vietnam Tour Operators

Get off the beaten track with one of our award-winning Vietnam tour packages.

The lands of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia (once collectively known as Indochina) are where India and China, a French colonial legacy and Communist Party ideology, and emerald mountains and azure seas intersect. And where differences meet, adventure is sure to happen.

On your tour of Vietnam, travel through the country’s southern section, and you’ll discover Indian and Hindu influences in the Cham temples and spicy cuisine, spiked with chili and tempered with coconut. As you head north, however, the Chinese connections are far more apparent. Between these two “outside” cultures, you’ll find the quintessential Vietnam, located in the central provinces, represented by spots such as the meticulously preserved, graceful, and historic port of Hoi An — Vietnam’s oldest town — or the imperial city of Hué.

Set on the Perfume River, Hué is filled with centuries-old palaces, royal tombs, pagodas, and battle-scarred temples. Visit this city on your trip to Vietnam, and you’ll discover the mysterious and imposing Royal Citadel, the site of heavy conflict during the Vietnam War. On a bike ride here, today, however, you’ll share the road with friendly locals scootering to work, food carts, water buffalo, and children pedaling their own bicycles to school. Smell the delicate peach blooms as you cycle by in spring or view the blaze of flame trees in summer along the Perfume riverbank.

Include a stop in Hanoi during your Vietnam tour, and you can wander through beautiful, French colonial buildings or spend a blissful day on a traditional-style Chinese junk, cruising the hidden beaches, cool caves, blue lagoons, and majestic, craggy limestone karsts of Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If it’s some true Vietnam adventure travel you’re after, consider hiking through the north’s Ha Giang Province, experiencing traditional ways of life with one of the more than fifty hill tribes. As you make your way through timeless villages, you’ll walk the emerald hills and stop at sparkling streams. For a deeper cultural immersion, opt for a two-night home-stay in the village of Tay. Then, turn west to Lao Cai Province’s Sapa district and delve into the Sin Cheng market, bursting with goods made or grown by ethnic minorities.

Before the end of your Vietnam trip, allow yourself to stand in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). That’s when it will hit you that the places where countries, ideas, and landscapes collide are where you’ll confront your own, internal intersections.

And that’s what adventure travel is all about.
