In 2025, Tet (Lunar New Year) will run from the 28th January to the 3rd of February. 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 Vietnamese are travelling around the country. Please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.

Our Intrepid Premier Tour of Vietnam far exceeded our expectations and previous experiences. I would definitely recommend taking the Premier option. Guide was brilliant and variety of experiences exceptional. Intrepid also seemed to have an excellent social conscious
