Whether you're visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, cruising Ha Long Bay, or exploring Hanoi, having local expertise means you'll see and do more on your Vietnam tour.

Per one customer who booked the Cu Chi Tunnels Tour from HCM City—Morning or Afternoon, "Had a really good experience. Very interesting place as it wasn't just about the tunnels. We got a glimpse of what it was like back then, including the traps used etc. Our guide, Binh, was knowledgeable and really looked after us. The rest stop at the handicrafts factory was really good as well, and good to see that there is support for the victims of war. Definitely a must do when you're in HCMC."

Guided tours of Vietnam vary in price. You'll find a range of walking tours in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi for around US$5, while full-day sightseeing tours of places like Ninh Binh are closer to around US$80 per person. Overnight cruises and multi-day tours will cost considerably more.

For a fun, local experience on the lower end of the price scale, book tours like Basket Boat Riding at Bay May Coconut Village from US$4 per person. This tour visits the Bay Mau coconut forest in a traditional basket boat, but is a short tour at just 45 minutes. Pricier options include the Private Day Sailing Cruise on Yacht in Nha Trang from US$1,130 per group, which is a completely private tour where you can snorkel, swim, and fish in Vinh Nguyen Bay.
