Common Questions
Vietnam Travel FAQ
When is the best time to visit Vietnam?
November through April is the sweet spot across most of the country — dry, mild, and comfortable in Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. February and March bring the clearest weather to Halong Bay. Central Vietnam's beaches are best from March through August.
How many days do I need in Vietnam?
A first-time north-to-south journey works well in 10 to 14 nights, covering Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. Add a Mekong river cruise or Sapa extension for 16 to 18 nights.
Do US travelers need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. US passport holders currently need an e-visa for Vietnam, which we help you obtain in advance as part of your pre-departure documentation.
What luxury hotels do you book in Vietnam?
Our preferred properties include Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Capella Hanoi, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Park Hyatt Saigon, and the Reverie Saigon, alongside Aqua Mekong and Uniworld for river cruising.
Can I combine Vietnam with other countries?
