Fancy a taste of fresh pineapple from a floating market or the breeze on your face as you travel by riverboat? Or would you prefer the vibrant bustle of Ho Chi Minh City where you'll find intricate pagodas nestled amid modern skyscrapers? Vietnam holidays are varied and amazing in equal measure. This is a country that stays with you forever.

VIETNAM WITH ETG

At Experience Travel Group, we ensure that your holidays to Vietnam are distinctive and personalised. Experiences include peaceful boat trips, superb overnight cruises and beautiful beaches. Back on dry land, try trekking in the northern hills, market and art tours, guided trips around majestic temples or even a whizz around Saigon on a vintage Vespa. What’s more, the incredible food will bowl you over, an exotic mix as diverse as its landscape: soupy hot noodles; sweet-savoury caramelised fish (Ca Kho To) and devilishly moreish sizzling pancakes.

What to do on a Holiday to Vietnam?

There is plenty to do when holidaying in Vietnam; in fact, the country is much more diverse than many people think. Broadly speaking, the north of the country is brilliant for glorious scenery; the mountains of Sapa are perfect for luxury cycling holidays or walking, while the dramatic limestone karsts of Halong Bay are perfect for sailing. The north is also where you’ll find the vibrant capital of Hanoi. The centre is ideal for beaches or cultural exploration, with ancient cities such as Hue and Hoi An and a lovely coast line. By contrast, the south is where you’ll find modern Ho Chi Minh City (still known colloquially as Saigon), the lush Mekong Delta, and the popular island of Phu Quoc. 

The flower sellers of Hanoi bring colour and charm to the city.

Travelling by train is a brilliant way to discover Vietnam's scenery and spirit.

Home to vistas you didn't know existed, Vietnam is perfect for those who love a good landscape.

WHEN TO GO <span class="indend">TO VIETNAM</span> WHEN TO GO <span class="indend">TO VIETNAM</span>

WHEN TO GO TO VIETNAM

Due to its long and thin geography, the best time to visit Vietnam varies throughout different parts of the country. As a tropical country, the good news is that there is a warm and sunny region throughout most of the year. Take a look at our weather in Vietnam page for more detail.

Suggest itineraries in Vietnam

ETG tours go deeper than standard holiday packages so that our travellers come home with unique stories to tell. For example, our Vietnam beach trips are not just about lounging in a resort for two weeks - we’ll give you seaside, plus soul. We organise privately guided trips for couples, solo travellers and small groups, as well as Vietnam family itineraries: curiosity unites our travellers, rather than demographic or background. Take a look at our suggested luxury Vietnam holidays for more inspiration.
