Top Vietnam Day Trips

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Hue with a visit to the impressive Citadel and Imperial City, followed by a sumptuous and tasty lunch. We then were impressed by the Thien Mu Pagoda and the tomb of Khai Dinh. Miss Banana, our guide, kept it fast paced and interesting. She had much insight and knowledge. Her bubbling personality was a joy. We highly recommend.

If you are looking to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels without spending half your day stuck in Saigon traffic, this speedboat tour is the only way to go. Highlights of the Trip. • The Need for Speed: Leaving from the pier in Ho Chi Minh City, we bypassed the crowded roads and arrived at the tunnels in record time. The breeze on the river was a massive relief compared to the city heat, and the views of the riverbanks were stunning. • Our Guide, Ngoc Thanh: A huge shoutout to Thanh, who was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge wasn't just "textbook"—he provided deep, emotional, and factual context that truly brought the history to life. He kept us engaged the entire time and answered every question with impressive detail. • Expert Perspectives: What really set this tour apart was the insight into the Viet Cong perspective. Thanh explained the ingenious engineering of the tunnels and the strategic use of the environment. Seeing the site through the lens of those who lived there—and understanding the logistics of the river as a supply line—gave us a completely new appreciation for the history. The Verdict: It’s efficient, exhilarating, and educational. If you want a premium experience that respects your time and provides top-tier historical insight, book this tour and ask for Thanh.

What a fantastic day with Thuan who is a brilliant tour guide very knowledgeable and speaks clear and extremely good English so nothing was lost. This tour is 2/3 hours away from Hue so don’t go if you’re not wanting to travel such a long time. But believe me it’s worth it. Thaun cleverly broke the journey up by explaining the back story to the war in a very honest and concise manner. At the various stop offs she gave really valuable insight. Lunch was excellent on a type of home stay and they catered very well for my allergies. All in all a terrific day which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We enjoyed our drive from Hue to Hoi An. We made stops along the way at Ghost City, Marble Mountain, a beautiful bay, and a mountain pass fortress. The driver spoke good English, picked us up, and dropped us off at our hotel in Hoi An right on time. I recommend this trip to anyone traveling between Hue and Hoi An.

Our trip to the Mekong Delta was a great experience and definitely worth the day. Levi was our guide, and even though he looks very young, he was incredibly engaging, confident, and knowledgeable with the whole group. He explained everything clearly, kept the energy up throughout the day, and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. The itinerary was well planned and gave us a really nice overview of the Mekong Delta lifestyle, culture, and scenery. If you only have one day to spare from Saigon and still want a meaningful Mekong Delta experience, this tour is absolutely the way to go.

Excellent communication from the travel agent . I can’t tell you how impressed we were - I booked a private trip for 4 people - we had our own boat and guide just for us and the lunch on board was restaurant quality and so much of it. HaLong Bay is so beautiful and unexpected . I would highly recommend this trip . Unbelievable value for money and the scenery is just breathtaking

Tom and Kong were our guides on this trip, and they were fantastic!! They were both very generous with their knowledge of Ha Long Bay and kept us safe and entertained all day. The kayaking through the caves was a particular highlight, and the food at lunch was plentiful and delicious! Thanks for making our one day on Cat Ba very memorable!

We had a great time visiting the tunnels, learned a lot about the history, guerrilla tactics and survival skills of this brave people. Our guide, An, was very organised and knew a lot about the history and culture of, even got us a great sandwich at the end. Would definitely recommend to anyone willing to learn about the history of the conflict and land as well.
