GUIDE TO VIETNAM

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. 

Recommended Holidays 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.

Our bespoke trip and travel services go much beyond booking flights and hotels. Your dedicated travel consultant will spend time designing your trip with curated experiences, hand-picked accommodation and the best guides in Vietnam. You can also rest assured that all our local partnerships are sustainable and respectful to the local culture.

From in-depth tours to family travel and tailor-made holidays to Vietnam and Cambodia, we can help design your perfect experience. Our trips will help you reveal the fabric of Vietnam, without the hassle of logistics. We take care of the nitty-gritty, leaving you to relax and dream about your adventure.
