Vietnam - The Land of Timeless Charm!

Vietnam, proud of its long coastline of beautiful beaches and warm turquoise waters, promises a refreshing and enriching escape. This 12-day Vietnam’s Essence & Luxury Island Escape unfolds as a graceful journey through the country’s most evocative landscapes and cultural heartlands. Begin in the charming capital of Hanoi, where history, architecture and daily life intertwine, before drifting into the dreamlike seascape of Hạ Long Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — where towering limestone karsts rise from calm emerald waters, inviting moments of quiet reflection, swimming and gentle kayaking. The journey then leads you into the serene countryside of Ninh Bình, where a peaceful boat ride through Tam Coc’s scenery and sweeping views from Mua Cave reveal a softer, more timeless side of Vietnam. Finally, you will retreat to the pristine shores of Phu Quoc Island, with unhurried days to relax, recharge and savour the tranquil rhythm of island life, before concluding in vibrant Ho Chi Minh City - a dynamic blend of history and modern energy that brings your unforgettable Vietnamese escape to a perfect close.

Reviews & Feedbacks about This Tour

"Happy Travel Vietnam impression"

Wow!!! This company DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I dealt with Ms. My Linh and she was completely helpful in making me feel at ease with the whole process. I was skeptical at first because I live in the States and wasn’t sure who i was dealing with in Vietnam. After my first conversation with Linh i was comfortable enough to proceed and book my tour package. I had looked at other websites and their prices were outrageously high. INSIDE TRAVEL saved me 40%!! I couldn’t believe the savings ���� Thank goodness because Linh advised me to be practical on certain things in order to maximize my budget to save money. The whole trip was so enjoyable because all ground transportation and internal flight arrangements were completely hassle free. I never had to worry about getting in a shady taxi cab and get scammed. That was my main concern. The hotels that were included in my tour package were top notch and very luxurious with amenities included. Free breakfast buffets and the day long excursions included pre-screened restaurants that served us great tasting authentic Vietnamese food. No corners were cut to make sure my trip was completely satisfactory!! Linh took the time to address all my concerns and made changes til everything was to my satisfaction. The great part was that the company only required a small deposit to book the tour. The rest I paid when I arrived in Vietnam. Linh was there to welcome us upon arrival too! There were instances during the trip when I needed extra help and one phone call to Linh and my issues were resolved!!! She was always just a phone call away to help me. She represented her company’s business mission extremely well. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to travel to Vietnam to put their confidence in INSIDE TRAVEL’s hands because they will make sure your experience will be most enjoyable so that you can enjoy all that is worth seeing in Vietnam. Thank you Linh!!! Thank you INSIDE TRAVEL!!!!! See you soon!! Tuan nguyen - United States

"Great holiday - A cultural experience and relaxation!"

Luyen Ta put together a fantastic itinerary for my Family It had the right balance of visiting sites and places, experiencing Vietnamese culture and hospitality while finding time to relax and unwind. She was very accommodating and listened to our needs, even arranging last minute changes to our trip to spend more time at Mu Nei! All of our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the drivers were polite and punctual and the accommodation was great in every location. I highly recommended Vietnam and in particular SE Asia Travel to put together a fit for purposes itinerary to accommodate your needs, budget, that maximizes your experience in Vietnam. Thank you Luyen Ta Mr.Tony Fila - Australia

"One of our best travel experiences ever!"

We spent three weeks in Vietnam and loved every minute of it. Tony Jaa had attended to every detail from recommending an itinerary to suit our interests to arranging airport pickups to selecting guides and hotels. Everything flowed seamlessly for us. Mr. Lawrence Robinson - United States

"An Exceptionally Outstanding Service, Highly Recommended and Great Value for Money."

If I could, I would give this Agency a 6 star rating, but TripAdvisor only allows me to give 5. We were planning a short visit 10 day visit to Vietnam. Our Travel consultant was Ms Dzung Nguyen she was highly efficient, very prompt courteous and very knowledgeable. With painstaking care she provided exceptional guidance into the choice of places to see and stay. It was a very personalized service and made a great effort to fine tune everything to our preferences and taste, as per our personal travel interests, budget and dietary preferences. Planning everything in meticulous detail from our arrival in Hanoi, to our departure from Ho Chi Minh City. Excellent recommendations for hotels, dining, menus day trips, and local guides. Ensuring one of the most hassle free and enjoyable travel experiences I have ever had. Not withstanding the fact that I do travel extensively (5-6 times a year). A most professional and comprehensive detailed Itinerary was also provided. We visited Hanoi, took the Ha Long Bay Cruise, The Ancient City of Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City and Visited the Mekong Delta. The arrangements also included two local flights, transfers to and from the airport and intercity travel. In as much as the planning was detailed, the execution of our plan was also immaculate, all transportation, tour guides we punctual and on time. The tour guides Mr Giap (Hanoi), Ms Thu (Central Vietnam) and Mr Lou (South Vietnam) were all highly knowledgeable very friendly and made us feel like we were old and very welcome friends. They all went out of their way to understand our interests and accommodated us.Ms Dzung was constantly monitoring that all phases of the tour were being executed well, and taking feedback from the tour guides. This knowledge was even more reassuring. Even minor last minute changes to flight schedules (caused by the airlines were tracked by the agency) and we were suitably intimated and adjusted.In spite of all the complex arrangements required, the agency was also very flexible and would readily make adjustments and changes in the tours and destinations within Vietnam while we visiting.I also noted that the Hotels we stayed in paid great deference to our tour agency and It indicates that the agency also maintains good relations with them, which is always highly valuable, with the hotels providing extras such as early check-in at Hanoi and the a room upgrade in Ho Chi Minh City.Vietnam its self is a remarkably beautiful country, with amazing people, fantastic cuisine and steeped in history and tradition, but I can say without doubt that it was only because of the extreme care and coordination of the Agency and Ms Dzung that we were able to savour so much of a wonderful time and each and every moment was special.They provide tours and cater to both the budget traveler and the luxury traveler equally, It has my highest recommendation and on top of that it is exceptional value for money.I also would be available to provide individual feedback to anybody who has any further questions.Mr Inayat Ali Shah Mr. Inayat Ali Shah - Pakistan

"WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE !!!"

It was really a wonderful experience to work with MISS.DZUNG - HOLIDAYS VIETNAM .The way she help us to sort out our tourism queries of Veitnam .I really impressed to experience professional way of her handling. Mrs. Bushra Sajawar - Pakistan

"Private organised Tour of Vietnam"

A special thank you to Ms Huong Le who was our travel consultant from Holidays Vietnam. Nothing was too difficult and we were able to tailor the tour to ensure we covered most of the sights & places in Vietnam especially in the center, that we wanted to see, not a packaged tour.We even were able to change things around in the middle of the tour with a simple phone call to her.The hotels were more than comfortable with the stand out being the luxury Eldora Hotel in Hue, followed closely by the Boss Legend Hotel in Hanoi old quarter.The guides & drivers were excellent & Huong would ring & check on a daily basis that we were being looked after- "what exceptional service".Some other highlights weer the night train from Hanoi to Sapa in a private 2 berth cabin, and the amazing sights at the top of Fransipan mountain, the highest peak in Vietnam. The cable car ride up to the peak is not to be missed!My wife & I without hesitation can recommend Holidays Vietnam Travel as the travel agency of choice for Vietnam & Indochina. Peter Robin Juriansz - Australia

"Amazing service throughout"

Can\'t thank Dzung enough for a wonderfully experience from beginning to end. Always most helpful. Especially as we are in a strange country to us. Everywhere we stayed was 1st class. Thank you. Mr. Gary Search - United Kingdom

"Vietnam Tour - Ho Chi Min, Hoi An & Hanoi"

The service provided by your company, in all three areas was excellent, both from a personal and professional perspective. All three guides were friendly, personable, knowledgeable with that wonderful blend of friendliness and professionalism. They made us feel very welcome and made us enthusiastic for our trip, for their country, for the people and what we could learn from them. We enjoyed all the tours and experiences provided and felt that they were ideal for someone to experience Vietnam, both as a tourist and also on a more personal level as we experienced the people and culture first hand. Also to receive personal calls every time we landed and to have the reassurance that all was in hand, we were kept well informed, which made us relax and enjoy the experience more. Thank you also for the personal visit from Ms Le - it was good to meet the name behind the emails! We could not fault the service given to us and we are already recommending you to our friends. Many thanks for the wonderful memories of your country and your people. Allan and Jennifer McGregor Allan McGregor - NewZealand

"Excellent tour planned - highly recommend"

We are a group of 4 families from Australia. We approached around 6 companies both in Australia and Vietnam for quotes and suggested tour itineraries. Huong Le from Holidays Vietnam was fantastic. She consulted with us on everything, gave good advice and followed up on any question we had. We ended up with a tour personally tailored to meet our needs, as opposed to the 'off the shelf' product that everyone else seemed to try to feed us. This was especially important because we had a group of teenagers who were looking for different things to the adults - and the tour really delivered for all of us. Huong Le also was careful to make sure that the bigger people in our group were comfortable - this even extended to making enquires about the size of the sleeper beds on the train! Larger buses were arranged for comfort - the little things actually made a big difference. A big shout out to our three guides Kho, Andy and Tan - all were terrific - full of information and a desire to make our holiday memorable. And of course Huong Le who kept in contact with us throughout the trip and even visited us on Day 1. We are so glad we went with a local company and thank Holidays Vietnam for the wonderful trip they planned. Kylie Beckhouse - Australia

"Vietnam Tour"

As a group we experienced Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoian & the wonderful sights each city had to offer. Our tour guides not only shared their knowledge of the country but their love for the country. Would highly recommend this company, especially if travelling in a small group. Joy Anstis - Australia
