Customizable Vietnam Tours & Travel Packages

Though each region has its different climate (the North, Central, and South), you still have an incredible trip at the best time, depending on your needs.

However, if weather is the most important factor to you, opt for March - April & September - October as this time is suitable for traveling around the entire country because of the nice weather and low cancellation chance of bad weather.

It’s still ok for anyone who cannot visit Vietnam during these months:

• May - August: Best for beach vacations, when you can have a good dose of Vitamin Sea through various thrilling aquatic activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, etc.
• November - December: Ideal for an adventurous trekking tour in North Vietnam to see endless terraced paddy fields covered in snow and enjoy the cool atmosphere of mountainous areas

Yes, Vietnam is generally a very safe destination for international travelers, including solo travelers and families. However, like any country, being aware of specific safety topics can help ensure a smooth trip. Here's what you need to know:

• Public Security

Vietnam is politically stable with low violent crime rates. Petty crimes like pickpocketing or bag snatching may occur in crowded tourist areas, so keep your belongings close and avoid showing valuables in public.

• Traffic Safety

Traffic in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City can be chaotic, with a high number of motorbikes and limited pedestrian infrastructure. Always be cautious when crossing streets and consider using ride-hailing apps like Grab instead of renting motorbikes unless you’re experienced.

• Food & Drink Hygiene

Street food is a highlight of Vietnam, but make sure to eat at stalls or restaurants that are busy and appear clean. Avoid tap water - stick to bottled water and use it even when brushing your teeth. Be cautious with ice and unwashed fruits.

• Natural Disasters

Vietnam’s climate includes typhoons (July - October in Central and Northern regions) and seasonal flooding in the Mekong Delta and Central areas. Check weather updates and avoid affected regions during heavy rains.

• Health Care

Vietnam has international hospitals in major cities like Vinmec, French Hospital, and FV Hospital. These offer 24/7 care with English-speaking doctors and multilingual staff.

Generally, when traveling to Vietnam, you have to notice two important things about the electricity in this country - plugs and voltage:

• The common electricity voltage here is 220 Volt at 50 Hz

The thing you should do first is checking your device’s details - if there is a line like “100 - 240V, 50 - 60Hz”, that means your device can fit different voltage levels from 100 to 240 Volt, from 50 to 60 Hz.

Otherwise, you will need a converter to change the initial voltage to match the device specifications. You can buy it at any electric store in Vietnam with a price of US $4 - 8.

• 3 sorts of plugs can be used in Vietnam: Type A, Type C, and Type F

Most electrical outlets in Vietnam have 2 holes, which is only suitable for two-pin plugs, including Type A (two flat vertical pins), Type C & Type F (two round pins). Three-pin plugs will require an adapter to be usable.

Like the converter, an adapter can also be found at electric stores with a price of US $1 - 4.

Small note: You can ask the receptionists to borrow one at your hotels as an alternative option.

Tipping is not compulsory since it’s not part of Vietnam culture, you do not have to tip everywhere when traveling in the country. You can choose to tip as a thank you to the staff providing you with good services, they will be happy and highly appreciate that.

If you are wondering how much is suitable for tipping, check out our suggestions below:

*Note: You should tip in USD as it is the most popular foreign currency in Vietnam

Yes, you should. Though Travel Insurance is not always mandatory for international travel, buying it is still a wise decision since the insurance will prevent you from unpredictable financial losses.

Medical emergencies, flight cancellations, money losses, etc., can happen at any time during your future trip - and when they occur, the insurance will work and take care of your expenses. Hence, Travel Insurance is very important for your trip.

It’s highly recommended to buy Travel Insurance in your country before the journey. If you need help buying insurance, contact our sales consultants for support.

Currently, Vietnam is positioned 34th on the global fixed internet ranking while standing 19th in mobile internet speed. Thus, accessing the internet in this country is as easy as pie. Excluding some specific places, such as secluded mountainous areas or offshore, free WiFi can be found in airports, coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels.

However, for more stable, faster WiFi, you should purchase a 4G/ 5G SIM card to access the Internet at any time of day. A Vietnamese SIM is not too expensive, only from USD 5.5, and you can buy them on platforms like Klook / KKday, or at airports, phone stores, and mobile network providers’ stores.
