Top Vietnam Day Trips

We had a beautiful afternoon driving around Hoi An with our guide, Thanh. She shared very authentic local stories that helped us gain insight into Vietnamese life and helped translate our conversations with the local people to allow us to be immersed in the activities. We found the variety of local activities a stand out & the private tour allowed us to go at a pace that was far more suited to our needs, as opposed to be on a large tour with a tight schedule. If possible take some cash to either buy their local goods and/or tip the local people, a little bit goes a long way for them & their families.

Outstanding day from beginning to end—truly one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Ninh Bình is absolutely a must-do while visiting Hanoi. The day started with a smooth and punctual hotel pickup, and everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. The itinerary flowed seamlessly, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Hana, was outstanding—professional, organized, incredibly knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She made the day both informative and fun, and her passion for the region really enhanced the experience. She was assisted by Happy, who is currently training as a tour guide, and he was wonderful as well—friendly, helpful, and clearly very promising. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi who wants an unforgettable day trip. A truly exceptional experience.

A great trip to visit the tunnels. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history, friendly and amusing. Would highly recommend going by boat. It was a 'cool' way to travel in the heat and we were at the tunnels before the tour buses arrive so able to begin our tour before the crowds. Drinks and food freely offered on the boat and delicious lunch at the tunnels before we left on our return trip.

We had a great morning tour visiting the Lady Buddha, Marble Mountains, and Am Phu Caves. Our guide, Sky, was fantastic, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and he had a great way of explaining the history so it felt relatable and engaging. Be prepared for a lot of steps! It’s a bit of a workout, but the panoramic views and the intricate pagodas at the top are absolutely worth the hike. It gets very hot and humid inside the caves, especially Am Phu, so be ready for the heat. Inbetween stops, Sky gave us great insights into local life, from the fishing culture and the beautiful beaches to the stories behind the derelict hotels and the local casino scene. We ended the tour with a local lunch. Sky even took the time to show us the proper way to wrap and eat Vietnamese pancakes with rice paper, fresh salad, and dips. It was the perfect finish to a cultural morning. The best part was seeing the monkeys playing and swinging from the trees.

Our guide Jason was lovely, fantastic English level, funny, good energy and interesting history about the places we visited. My recommendation would be to wear proper stable training shoes as there is quite a bit of walking up and down steps which can be uneven in places. Set meal on the boat was ok, large servings, more than enough certainly. All around good value for money, a nice place to visit, and a great way to do so 👍

We had a great day with Jin our tour guide in Saigon . We visited all the places listed and had an unforgettable lunch . Jim pointed out all places of interest and great spots to shop.Our driver was excellent and safe . i recommend this tour.Ask for Jim!

This was a fabulous tour which hit a lot of the main sightseeing points in Hue. Our guide Tuan was great - he added a lot of local knowledge which was appreciated and he took some great photos of us. Lunch was lovely and there was plenty of food. We enjoyed the herbal foot bath which followed and learning how to shape our own mungbean cakes. Would recommend.

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.
