3 day Ha Long Bay experience
icon circle by Tripadvisor
We organised with the brilliant Mia Nguyen at Best Price travel for a 3 day, 2 night tour with Orchid cruises on their nostalgia boat. Mia’s help and organisation was brilliant. Due to the typhoon we had to change plans but she was helpful, friendly and organised throughout. We genuinely could not have asked for more from her. The boat was clean, comfortable and with some absolutely brilliant staff. We are well, plenty of options and lots of food available. The trips we took from the boat were even better than expected. An amazing experience.

Vietnam Grand Discovery Classic 18 days | 24/12/2024

Hanoi was amazing. Halong wasn’t my favorite - kind of just went in a circle in a bay. Nice room though. Sapa was fabulous. Saigon guide was just okay and a bit hard to understand. Siem Reap was great; guide was solid but not great. Hotels have been wonderful and every single person has been precisely on time, which we appreciate.

FAQs

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 need.

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

Generally, Vietnam is considered an ideal destination for tourists, especially solo travelers, since countless international visitors find that it is very safe. There are many factors that make this country become one of the most recommended places to visit in Asia:

  • Political Stability: As a single-party socialist republic country, Vietnam has only one party system led by the Communist Party, so the political situation is quite stable.
  • Low Crime Rate: Compared to many Western countries, the crime rate here is very low, and violent crimes toward foreigners are extremely rare. Moreover, the government has many strict measures to maintain safety all over the country, which prevents Vietnam from any terrorism.
  • Nice Locals: The final reason making Vietnam the recommended place to visit is that Vietnamese people are kind and hospitable. Local people here are always willing to support and give directions to foreigners if they need any help.

Covid-19 Pandemic: Currently, travelers can feel comfortable while our country has stopped all Covid-19 requirements for overseas visitors as of May 15, 2022. As a result, admission into Vietnam is currently the same as it was before the epidemic.

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.

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.

Currently, Vietnam is positioned 39th on the global fixed internet ranking while standing 52nd in mobile internet speed. Thus, accessing internet in this country is as easy as pie. Excluding some specific places such as secluded mountainous areas, free WiFi can be found in airports, coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels.

However, the free WiFi may not be fast and stable, you should purchase a 3G/ 4G SIM card to access Internet at any time of day. A Vietnamese SIM is not too expensive, about USD $10, and you can find them at airports, phone stores, or mobile network providers’ stores:

SIM Card Providers Price Per 4G SIM
Viettel From US $10 - 27
Vinafone From US $9 - 21
Mobifone From US $6 - 13

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:

Tour guide

Private Tours: US $7 - 10

Group Tours: US $3 - 5

Taxi driver US $3 - 5
Bellman US $2 - 4
Housekeeper About US $2
Restaurant Waiter/Waitress US $1 - 3
Spa Staff US $5 - 8

Travelers from small-group tours rarely go together from the beginning until the end. They usually meet each other halfway because they can partly customize the journey, leading to great participation and wonderful experiences when meeting new friends.

Overall, travelers need a visa to enter the country. Up to 2024, citizens from 25 countries can enter Vietnam without visa (at least 14 days, depending on each nation). Tourists who are not on the visa exemption list can be supported with

  • Visa On Arrival (VOA): US $20 - 40 /person
  • e-Visa: US $40 /person. Please note that not all countries are granted Vietnam eVisa, click here to see the detailed list

Normally, the processing time will be 3 to 5 days, and the cost can be different in some special circumstances.

Hello, I'm solo travelling and will be arriving in Vietnam on the 11th November to Ho Chi Min City. I will be leaving Ho Chi Min on the 26th November to take a flight elsewhere so my trip would need to start and finish in HCM. I'm interested in food, culture, seeing Hoi An, lantern festivals, Ha Long Bay. Easy walks vs treks. I'm currently in Singaopore. Please can you share some thoughts to the trip as soon as possible ?
