For travellers from countries like the UK, USA, Australia, and EU nations, a visa may not be required for short stays (typically up to 45 days, depending on nationality) for tourism or business purposes. However, if you plan to stay longer or visit for reasons such as work or study, you may need to apply for a visa in advance. We recommend checking with your local Vietnamese embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements based on your nationality and travel plans.

Vietnam is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is March–June and October–December when the weather is warm, dry, and perfect for exploring. Even during the rainy season, showers are short, meaning the weather should minimally impact your adventure.

Absolutely! Vietnam is a super welcoming and safe place to visit. The locals are friendly, and most travellers have a hassle-free experience. Like anywhere, just keep an eye on your stuff in busy areas and be mindful of the traffic as crossing the street can require extra attention.

YES! for an additional fee (on top of the flight cost), we can arrange flights for you. We’ll discuss your preferences—such as budget, airline quality, and any specific requirements—to find the best options. You can then either use this information to book the flights yourself or, if you prefer, we can handle the booking for you once all the details are finalised.

Our recommendations and decisions are based on our in-house airline database, which ranks carriers on factors like reliability, comfort, and overall value. If you have any questions about specific airlines, we can provide expert advice to help you make the best choice for your trip.

Once your deposit is paid you'll receive an email with your booking confirmation and a variety of helpful documents to prepare you for your trip! When the full payment is processed we'll send you detailed information on what to expect upon arrival, how to get to your first accomodation and your full itinerary. You’ll also have the opportunity to schedule a 1-1 call with us, so we can walk you through your trip and answer any questions you may have!

We roughly estimate a day’s budget should be around £20-£30 but this can fluctuate based on factors such as public transport usage.

For the Ha Giang Loop and Ha Long Bay tours, meals are included, so you can enjoy local dishes along the way. However, for the rest of your trip, food is not included, giving you the freedom to explore and indulge in Vietnam's incredible cuisine at your own pace. We’ll provide a list of must-try dishes and recommended restaurants in your information package.

Yes, all main transportation to tours and between cities is covered. However, travel within cities is omitted. You can easily use Vietnamese taxi services and local ride-hailing apps, which are reliable, cost-effective, and a great way to get around.

he physical demands of the trip are entirely up to you. In the larger cities, you can choose to walk to landmarks and explore on foot, fully immersing yourself in the local vibe. However, Vietnam’s public transport options, like buses and taxis, make it easy to get around at a more relaxed pace. The Ha Giang Loop may be the only part where you might feel a bit physically drained, but this small price is well worth it as it's one of our personal highlights of the experience!

While we cannot provide specific medical advice, it’s a good idea to research the recommended vaccinations for travel to Vietnam. Some vaccines are considered necessary, while others are merely recommended depending on your travel plans and health history. We recommend checking with your healthcare provider or researching reputable sources online to ensure you're up to date on any necessary vaccines before your trip.

Yes, as long as you book the same tour dates and notify us of your friend’s name in your booking, we will ensure you are placed on the same Ha Giang Loop and Ha Long Bay tours. If this is not possible, we will inform you and do our best to reorganise parts of your tour to accommodate this.
