Classic Vietnam Beach Holidays
Our classic Vietnam holidays feature historical and natural highlights, tantalising food and inspiring people, as well as some time at one of Vietnam’s best beaches.
With Experience Travel Group (ETG), luxury holidays to Vietnam don’t stop at glorious hotels. Our travellers seek to blend beautiful accommodation with authentic experiences. You might breakfast in style aboard a luxury riverboat, before venturing into the villages of the Mekong Delta; or you might dine with locals on sizzling street food, and return to the soft beds of a French colonial hotel.
WHY CHOOSE A LUXURY HOLIDAY TO VIETNAM
Vietnam offers the quintessential Southeast Asia experience: unbelievable food, floating markets, paradise beaches and exciting, tropical adventures. You can witness the extraordinary natural beauty of Halong Bay, Ninh Binh or the Mekong Delta; ride Vespas in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City; unwind on the beautiful beaches in Hoi An or Nha Trang. The options here are endless, and we’re committed to finding the experience that’s right for you.
While most tours rush through a similar and well-trodden route, our Vietnam luxury holiday packages are a little different. We show travellers authentic Vietnam away from the crowds, combining the highlights with exclusive experiences that reveal the soul of the destination.

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 and stunning coast. By contrast, the south is where you’ll find modern Ho Chi Minh City, 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.
DEVOURING WORLD-FAMOUS VIETNAMESE CUISINE
Now famous the world over, Vietnamese cuisine is central to the country’s culture and identity. Like you, we at ETG are serious foodies, and we know you want to try the best of the best. We have the inside scoop on excellent local restaurants, and your private guide can take you to the best street food stalls in Vietnam for traditional delicacies (crispy pancakes, Banh Mi, summer rolls and the famous Pho, to name just a few). Our foodie experiences are exceptional, from an authentic cooking class in Hoi An to the Hanoi street food tour that all our travellers rave about. Talk to us today about the culinary experience that’s right for you.

We like to turn left when others turn right to reveal a new perspective on this captivating country.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences
Brimming with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, Vietnam is a wonderful place to mark a special occasion or simply broaden your horizons. For history buffs looking to learn about the Vietnam war (or the American war, as it is known in Vietnam), a visit to the Cu Chi tunnels is a must. For thrill-seekers, a Vespa ride from Hoi An to Hue is an amazing way to soak up the coastal scenery. And we believe no trip to Vietnam is complete without a riverboat journey down the evocative Mekong. Your luxury holiday can be as intrepid or relaxing as you like.
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.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS; PACKAGE HOLIDAYS TO VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA
A travel match made in heaven, Vietnam and Cambodia holidays have it all: temples, beaches, extraordinary food and tropical climes. However, most package holidays to Vietnam and Cambodia tend to rush through the highlights, leaving travellers with little time to pause, reflect, and soak up the local atmosphere. Our tours, however, do things differently. If you fancy slow travel, an overland voyage from Cambodia to Vietnam via the Mekong could be perfect. For a luxury family holiday, why not take a look at our Family Luxury Indochina tour for inspiration?
