Here Are Eight Ways To Vietnam Backpacking Tour Guides Better

The Airport Hotel was pretty skanky, but we had a room, and a bathroom. Don't want to be locked into an exact date but also don't want to overpay for a quick flight. Definitely agree with the doing things at leisure. Hope you have a great time!

Are there any tips you would give on organising yourself, recommend anyone (or did you just use the hotel.) and how much had you organised before landing in vietnam? Hi Vicky, how did you book the train tickets? Hi Amy, I booked it through Airbnb before I went.

Thanks Rachel, sounds like you had a great trip. If come back Vietnam, I will travel Ha Long bay. Hi Alice, we booked them through the hotels apart from the Halong Bay one which I booked before.

I loved Vietnam and hope to go back at the end of the year :). I'm more for the culture, food and adventure. Yes, i will plan to visit sapa and probably stay longer in hoi an. I haven't booked any accommodation for anywhere apart from ho chi minh.

My girlfriend and I will be traveling to Vietnam this March and your itinerary closely matches ours. I am finding that even common phrases are incredibly difficult to pronounce. In case you need support from a local people when you are in vietnam travel information (https://www.vietnam-travel.org), please feel free to contact me at info@.

P/s: I'm a private tour guide in Vietnam, but i consider my mission is not only about business, but also to help traveller when they traveling to a country that they can't speak the language. I'm living in Myanmar for the year, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of side trips I can take while I'm here. Sorry, all my tried and tested tips are in the post.

Will definitely be going back though, but I'm afraid too late for your honeymoon. I'm debating going back in December and looking for more unique things to do and places to see so could be perfect! I have a 14 day itinerary and was thinking of doing London - hanoi and then work my way down south to ho chi minh and cambodia.

Or to start in ho chi min and work up north. What are the top 5 places i should visit over a two day period, just struggling with how many days to allocate! I actually preferred Hanoi over HCMC.

Halong Bay and Sapa were the highlight and best places to visit in Summer. Yeah I feel like HCMC and Hanoi divides people, but I'm definitely in the HCMC camp! I'm glad you had a good time, sounds like I need to see more of the north too!

It was my first time in Asia and I was super eager and excited so I went a little OTT on booking stuff. Im more interested in knowing, is there anything special worth travelling overland for, from DaNang to Hanoi, or is this leg worth skipping and saving those 13 hours or so (total travelling time, whether taken in a single trip or broken over few days) for a one hour flight.
