Lunar New Year is an annual festival that runs for several days. This is a fascinating and rewarding time to see the country, however you do need to be prepared for some businesses to be closed, tourist sites to be very busy and for transport to be packed as many locals are travelling around the country. Please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

This trip was fantastic! We’ve done a ton of travelling on our own over the years and decided to do a tour of Vietnam! It was fantastic! The hotels, food, places visited, transportation and everything was excellent! Had such a great time and our tour guide was the best!

Once again, I’m extremely satisfied with an intrepid trip. Our guide was so kind and helpful, kept everybody on track, lived in a new the different areas where we were going, and provided us with an extra extraordinary experience. The amount of activities and free time and the different places we visited were perfect for seeing not only the highlights of Vietnam, but also a chance to understand the culture in the people of the country.

I couldn’t rate this trip highly enough. I recommend an extra stay in Hanoi at the end, to fully explore. We truly loved Vietnam, and have learned so much in a short time: people, food, history. Amazing. If you are lucky, Loc Phan will be your guide.
