Extensive travels through south and north Vietnam seeing the the best cultural and non cultural sights
The tour of Vietnam for 13 days was done by Elena of Indo China Tours. Elena was brilliant and highly recommend her and the company.
Kea was very helpful as well. Thank you Elena, our family of 12 had a fantastic time
2025.5.6
Charming organisation
Helen and Ivy were extremely patient, efficient and speedy with what was a very challenging ask for a busy tour of 3 countries in 24 days. how they managed to orchestrate private cars, taxis, ferry, internal flights and 11 hotels without any hiccups was quite extraordinary.
constantly charming, nothing to much trouble (but quite sure I drove them mad every time we changed our plans!). Personally I would like the two of them to come and organise our lives for ever! Thank you.
2025.5.6 (London, UK)
Amazing trip to Siem Reap organised by IndoChina.
Our trip was amazing!
It was organised by IndoChina by Srevpov and Kea.
They are very helpful, took complete notice of our requirements and ensured all happened as expected.
I also must our guide Chan who was perfect. He knew everything, took our wishes into account and was always on time.
We started in Siem Reap and were taken care of our guide Chan and our driver.
Our hotel, The Aviary was lovely. Spacious and light and there was a swimming and a bar which served food as well.
Our first day we were taken to the Landmine Museum, which was as expected very sad albeit interesting.
We stopped for a lovely lunch and after the went to the Museum of Buddahs.
A very impressing museum with over 1,000 Buddahs on display.
A return to the Aviary for a dip in the bath before we went out on the town, to Pop Street.
Very popular, especially for the food and entertainment.
One our second day we went to Angkor Wat which was amazing and very, very impressive and interesting. Not one to miss!
One our last day there was festivities as it was the first day of New Years Day in Cambodia.
After that we were taken on a boot trip where we stopped for a drink before being taken to the airport to make for our next stop going to Laos. I would definitely recommend IndoChina to organise your trip and absolutely not miss out on a trip to Siem Reap and Cambodia or any of the bordering countries!
2025.4.30 (Fuengirola, Spain)
Family Tour in Thailand
Having visited Vietnam last year, we engaged Srey for the second consecutive year, and our trust was well-placed. This time, we explored Thailand from north to south with daily excursions and a private guide. Overall, the experience was fantastic. The itinerary and attractions were consistently engaging, even for our children (aged 9 and 12), and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thailand.
We particularly appreciated the elephant experience, our stay at the floating hotel, and our guide Jira, who looked after us in Bangkok with dedication and discretion.
Furthermore, Indochina Tour's ongoing assistance with check-in and accommodation changes has been nothing short of outstanding. If you are a family with diverse needs, seeking an authentic experience, and have limited time due to the school calendar, we highly recommend maximizing your exploration of a large area like Thailand by engaging a serious and local tour operator such as Indochina Tour.
Thank you, Srey, Kea, and the entire team!
2025.4.30
Month-long trip through Thailand Vietnam Cambodia and Laos. It was a very interesting, unique, varied and attractive trip.
Excellent and unique experience in Southeast Asia Happy would hire Indochina Tour again.
Special thanks to Elena and Kea. The itinerary was varied and full of new adventures.
2025.4.28 (Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile)
Wonderful Experience
All was well organized from the booking to the tour organization. We had a great experience exploring the culture, history & foods. All done with great Cambodian hospitality. The hotels were exceptional. We finally ended up in a beautiful seaside resort island. Thanks for the program. We highly recommend this efficient & reliable agency.
2025.4.17 (Lausanne, Switzerland)
Highlights of Vietnam North to South (14 Days)
It's hard to put into words how amazing this trip was. From the accommodations, service, food, and daily activities/excursions, everything was outstanding – not to mention our wonderful guides who were all knowledgeable, authentic and friendly.
Even before we left, the level of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by our Indochina Tour advisors, Amara and Kea, made me confident that this would be a really good trip.... but even with the bar set high, this trip far exceeded all our expectations still.
I would 100% consider using IndochinaTour.com for planning another trip in the region, and highly recommend them to anyone else who is considering one.
2025.4.13 (Boston, MA)
Stellar tour company
We had such a truly amazing time in Cambodia and Thailand with the private tour Indochina Tours planned for us..we decided we needed to go to Vietnam next year with the help of Indochina tours.
Ivy Wu who worked with me endlessly to plan the itinerary and especially Helen Chhour, the in-country contact in Cambodia, were simply stellar in their customer service and knowledge of the country and so willing to make changes due to some last minute health issues of my husband, changing our tours to private when needed to accomodate his problems walking and securing better seating and kid glove service on our flights. Simply superb.
We loved the tour guides and drivers in Cambodia and Thailand (especially Chen Suon in Cambodia...he was wonderful and kind in dealing with Eric's issues, but also warm and friendly and knowledgable in so many ways).
Just stellar all round.

With a few more days, you can go trekking in the mountainous Sapa region in northern Vietnam. Or, spend a few days unwinding on the beaches of Nha Trang of Phu Quoc.
How to Get to Vietnam?
Flying is the most convenient way to get to Vietnam. Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport and Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City are the two largest in the country and the most common entry points for travelers. Between them, there are over 110 flight routes to 26 countries and territories around the world. Flights arrive daily from the US, UK, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and all over Asia.
Domestic flights are convenient and affordable, so getting around in Vietnam is no problem. Travelers touring across the country often arrive in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City based on their itinerary and then depart from the other.
Do I Need a Visa to Visit Vietnam?
Tourist visas are needed by most international travelers to Vietnam. The best way is to use Vietnam’s e-visa system. E-visas can be applied for online and usually take three business days to process. It costs 25 USD for a 90-day, multiple-entry visa that can be used at all international airports and major border crossings.
Phu Quoc is a visa-free island for most travelers. Stays of up to 30 days are permitted for travelers arriving by air from another country or from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. A tourist visa is needed to travel from Phu Quoc to other parts of Vietnam.
Is Vietnam Cheap or Expensive to Visit? How Much Does a Trip Cost?
The average price for mid-range travelers in Vietnam is around 50-80 USD per day. At that price, you can stay at a comfortable 3-star hotel close to tourist areas and enjoy all the popular attractions. Food costs for street food and small local eateries aren’t expensive, and it’s some of the best food in the country.
Luxury travel costs around 150-300 USD per day. This includes staying at 5-star hotels and using private transportation around the city. Street food is not to be missed, but luxury travel can include Vietnam’s fine dining options and upscale bars in places like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
How Much is $100 in Vietnam Currency? Can I Use US Dollars?
Currently, 100 USD is around 2,460,000 VND. The Vietnamese Dong is the national currency and commonly comes in denominations of 10,000 to 500,000. Daily costs are relatively low in Vietnam, so 100 USD can go far. A bottle of water usually costs around 5,000-10,000 VND or 0.2-0.4 USD, an average cup of coffee is 1.2 USD, and street food costs 2-3 USD per person. Average taxi fares in a city like Hanoi are around 2-4 USD.
US dollars are accepted at most hotels and larger businesses in Vietnam, but local currency is needed for other transactions. For markets and street food, using VND in cash is the most convenient option. There are many places to exchange currency. Banks usually offer the best rates.
How to Keep Safe when Visiting Vietnam?
Vietnam is a very safe country for travelers where violent and serious crimes against tourists are rare. The best way to stay safe is to follow common sense and avoid isolated or unlit areas at night.
Travelers should be cautious about petty crimes such as pickpocketing and bag snatching. Keep track of your belongings, and don’t keep all your important travel documents in one place. The most common scams tourists face are being charged higher prices. Negotiate taxi fares before entering the vehicle, and don’t agree to buy anything before knowing the full price.
What to Wear when visiting Vietnam?
What to wear in Vietnam depends on where you go. The northern region can be cool, particularly at night, and a sweater or light jacket might be needed. Beachware is appropriate for swimming or other water activities. Good quality, comfortable shoes are always essential whether trekking or exploring city streets.
Vietnam is a conservative country, and clothes that are too tight or revealing are better to avoid. When visiting temples or religious sites, modest attire should be worn. Clothing should cover the knees and shoulders, and any hats should be removed.
Dos and Don’ts When Visiting Vietnam
Do try the street food. It is some of the most delicious and authentic food.
Do learn some basic phrases in the local language. It is highly appreciated by local people.
Do carry small bills in local currency for easy transactions.
Do be prepared for traffic, especially in cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Don’t touch anyone on the head. It is disrespectful.
Don’t forget to wear sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin and avoid heatstroke.
Don’t raise your voice or show anger in public. It is considered impolite.
Don’t drink the tap water. Stick to bottled water to stay safe.
Traveling Vietnam and Cambodia Together is Most Recommended
Vietnam and Cambodia offer distinct and complimentary travel experiences. Both countries have a wealth of cultural and historic sites with stunning natural surroundings. After touring and exploring the Mekong Delta around Ho Chi Minh City, you can travel to Siem Reap and see the unforgettable Angkor Wat.
Sharing a border, travel between the two countries is easy. Many flights are available from cities in Vietnam to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Cambodia is less convenient to reach from countries in Europe and North America, so visiting from Vietnam is an easy way for a more immersive tour of Southeast Asia.
Can I Travel Vietnam Independently?
It is perfectly ok to travel independently in Vietnam. Tourism is an important part of the local economy, and the travel infrastructure makes it simple to visit all the best sites and get around the country. Many Vietnamese people in tourist areas speak at least some English, and translation apps can help in other situations.
Traveling with a tour guide is recommended for people who don’t want to worry about making all the travel arrangements, or who want to find more of the country's hidden gems. Our guided tours can be fully personalized, and from there, you’ll get door-to-door service from the airport to the hotel and all the best sites.
