How to Choose the Perfect Vietnam tour Package?

Vietnam has more than meets the eye. It is full of quiet beaches, scenic mountain views, busy city streets and tasty food. But how to know you are choosing the right Vietnam Tour Package? We all have been there. One package included flights but not baggage. Another one covers four cities in seven days, leaving you tired. It can be confusing. Remember, the right package must fit within your budget, travel style and available time. Don't worry, we will tell you the best tips so you can have the best trip of your life to Vietnam without having to pay for things you don't require. 

Vietnam is a big country. Seeing the north, centre and south in less than a week would mean too many flights and hotel changes. It could be hectic and expensive. 

Instead, choose a route which is based on your trip length:

For your first visit to Vietnam, six to eight nights should be the best choice. Two regions should be more than enough. You will have time to explore without rushing from airport to airport. 

If you think the lowest-priced package is the best deal, you are so wrong. Some of the Vietnam Tour Packages only show you the cost of hotels and local tours. However, flights, visa fees, entry tickets and taxes may be extra, which may be included in Hidden costs.It is always a good idea to ask your travel expert for the final amount you need to pay. Check what the tour package includes, see if the inclusions show:

A comfortable six-to-eight-night trip with economy flights can cost you approximately ₹80,000–₹1,25,000 per person. 

Note: Prices can increase during holidays and popular travel months. 

A Vietnam Tour package from India should use the right arrival airport. Choose Hanoi for North Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City for the south. 

If your tour covers both, ask your travel agency for a ticket that allows you to arrive in one city and depart from the other. This will save you a lot of time and avoid backtracking. 

When you are comparing a Vietnam tour package from Delhi, look at direct flights to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. 

If you are checking Vietnam tour packages from Mumbai, compare the travel time, stopovers and baggage allowance.

Remember, do not accept “includes flights” as enough detail; ask your travel expert for the airline, flight number, timing, baggage and cancellation rules– all in writing.

If you are booking your package by just seeing a “4-star hotel” promise, it may still place you far away from the main sights. Ask your travel expert for the exact hotel name, room type, meal plan and address before booking your tour package. 

Good Areas for the hotel stay include: 

A well-located hotel can help you save money on taxis and give you more leisure time. 

If a Ha Long Bay Cruise is included, check the cruise name and the cabin type. Ask whether your meals, transfers, kayaking and entry charges are covered in the package.

Some Vietnam holiday packages look exciting because each day is full. In reality, early pickups and long road trips can make your holiday vacation exhausting. Check the start and finish times of each tour. Find out whether transfers and sightseeing are private or shared. Ask your travel expert which attraction tickets are included. Keep at least half a day free for rest or exploring the cafés, markets and shopping locations on your own.If you are a vegan, vegetarian or eat only Indian food, tell your travel company before booking. Hotel breakfast may always be included in most packages; you may have to pay extra for lunch and dinner. So you should have clarity on where you are paying and where you are not. 

Vietnam does not have the same weather in every region. The best time to visit would probably be March to May. 

Indian passport holders will require a visa to visit Vietnam. The official e-visa can be valid for up to 90 days. Also, you must read the package cancellation policy. Check how much is non-refundable, what happens if a flight changes and if the cruise or hotel can be replaced. You should pay only after you have received a written quote and a company invoice.

Before you start looking for a good Vietnam holiday package, you should confirm these details to stay safe and have a good journey:

You can ask your travel agency for two quotes with the same route: one which is focused on value and the second on comfort. Compare them line by line.
