Tours in Vietnam

Da Nang Street Food Tour by Scooter – 10 Local Tastings

Ride a scooter through Da Nang's backstreets to hit ten authentic street food stalls in four hours. Your guide navigates you between beloved local spots—from predawn noodle vendors to evening fruit hawkers—sampling everything from crab soup to tapioca dumplings. You'll eat like residents do, stopping to chat with cooks and taste craft beers alongside the food. Each location is chosen for flavour and character, not tourist appeal.

Rora Signature Massage for Ultimate Relaxation

When Charlie from our team booked into Rora Signature Massage in Vietnam, we were after something proper restorative after weeks on the road. This 90-minute treatment weaves together focused muscle work and essential oils to target tension and fatigue — the kind of thing that hits different when you've been lugging a backpack around. The space felt calm without being sterile, and the therapists knew their craft. It's pitched at anyone needing to decompress: travellers, locals chasing better sleep, desk workers with knotted shoulders. A solid escape valve.

Mekong Delta 2 Days 1 Night Small Group Homestay

★ 4.9 (42)

8 hours – 9 hoursfrom AUD $60

Mekong Delta 2 Days 1 Night Small Group Homestay

Spend two days cycling through Ben Luc Village and the Mekong Delta's backroads, staying in a local homestay. You'll paddle past fruit orchards, visit a coconut processing facility to see how every part becomes everything from oil to building materials, tour a honey farm, and join a cooking class. Meals feature regional dishes prepared fresh—breakfast and a BBQ dinner included—plus plenty of tropical fruit tastings. Transport from District 1 hotels covers the entire itinerary.

HCM: UNESCO Listed Can Gio Mangrove and Monkey Island trek

When Mia from our team did this UNESCO-listed mangrove trek from Ho Chi Minh City, we found ourselves 40 km southeast in a genuinely wild pocket of Vietnam. Can Gio Biosphere Reserve is a sprawling wetland where mangroves tangle overhead, monkeys call from the canopy, and crocs lurk in the deeper channels. The full day—roughly 8 to 9 hours door-to-door—mixes canoe paddling through the forest with a visit to Monkey Island and feels less touristy than expected for something this close to the city. Hotel pickup in District 1 gets you out early, and lunch plus entry tickets are sorted.

Transfer from Danang/Airport/Transtation to Hoi An by Private Car

Private car transfer covering the 30–60 minute journey between Danang Airport, Danang train station, or central Danang to Hoi An. Well-maintained vehicles with English-speaking drivers who double as informal guides, offering pointers on local sights and ticket pricing along the way. Luggage handling included at both ends.

10 hours – 11 hoursfrom AUD $111

Full-Day DMZ Tour: 17th Parallel, Vinh Moc Tunnel & Khe Sanh Base

Spend a full day exploring the DMZ's defining sites from Dong Hoi, moving between the 17th Parallel checkpoint, underground Vinh Moc tunnels, and the sprawling Khe Sanh Combat Base. Your English-speaking guide unpacks the region's wartime history whilst you travel through Quang Tri Province's dramatic landscape, stopping at the iconic Dakrong Bridge and the fortified citadel. Hotel pickup, lunch, and admission are included; the tour runs 10–11 hours and suits all fitness levels.

Halong Bay 2 Days-1 Night with 5 Star Cruise

★ 4.9 (14)

Halong Bay 2 Days-1 Night with 5 Star Cruise

When Em from our team booked this Halong Bay overnight cruise, we were after something that felt less packaged than the typical tourist run. Serenity Cruises mixes modern comfort with traditional Vietnamese design, and the itinerary steers toward the quieter Lan Ha side of the bay rather than the crowded hotspots. Two days, one night onboard with kayaking, swimming, and bike rides thrown in — it's a solid way to clock Halong without feeling like you're queuing with a thousand other travellers. The boat itself is genuinely well-appointed, and everything from pick-up to breakfast on day two is bundled in.

2 Days 1 Night: Explore Sung Sot Cave & Titov Island from Hanoi

★ 4.9 (52)

10 hours – 12 hoursfrom AUD $78

2 Days 1 Night: Explore Sung Sot Cave & Titov Island from Hanoi

When Noah from our team tried this two-day Ha Long Bay escape, he went in expecting a polished brochure and came away with a clearer idea of what the cruise really offers. The trip runs across a day and a night on the water, with stops at Sung Sot Cave and Titov Island, two of the bay's best-known spots. Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO-listed sprawl of limestone karsts rising out of green water, and the views change with every bend in the boat's route. Expect a mix of guided walking, kayaking and swimming, then a return to the boat for dinner and an evening on deck. Noah's verdict is that it suits couples, families and anyone who wants a bit of comfort between their adventures rather than roughing it on a budget boat.

Halong Bay Deluxe Day Cruise

A 10-12 hour day cruise through Halong Bay's limestone karsts, departing from Hanoi with return transfers included. The itinerary centres on lunch aboard the vessel, exploration of Luon Cave by kayak or bamboo boat, and a sunset gathering on deck. An English-speaking guide leads the experience, with entrance fees and transport covered. The operator emphasises attentive service and value for money.

Hanoi-Ninhbinh-Halong: Lan Ha Bay 2 Days 1 Night Overnight Cruise

★ 4.9 (48)

2 hours – 2h 10mfrom AUD $80

Hanoi-Ninhbinh-Halong: Lan Ha Bay 2 Days 1 Night Overnight Cruise

Cruise Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay over two days and one night, skipping the tourist cave circuit to maximise time on the water. You'll kayak past limestone karsts, pedal through a fishing village, and sleep aboard a cabin cruiser anchored in a sheltered bay. The itinerary balances activity with downtime, letting you absorb the seascape at your own pace rather than rushing through crowded sites.

Private Transfer FROM/to Hanoi TO/from Ninh Binh (Hotel Pickups)

When Em from our team booked a private transfer between Hanoi and Ninh Binh, we found a straightforward ride that does exactly what it says. The drive runs about two hours along Vietnam's main highways, and you spend the time watching rural landscapes roll past from an air-conditioned car with a driver who speaks workable English. It's not an experience unto itself — it's transport that lets you relax rather than navigate local buses or haggle with taxi drivers. Best for travellers who'd rather pay a bit more upfront to skip the stress of getting between these two spots.

🧖 Wellness & Spa

Experience Private Four Hand Massage In Da Nang Vietnam

When Noah from our BugBitten team tried the four-hand massage at Panda Spa in Da Nang, he walked into a quiet Vietnamese-style space designed for proper relaxation. This 90-minute session pairs two therapists working in sync, which sounds indulgent and genuinely is — the dual-therapist rhythm keeps pressure consistent and lets you actually switch off rather than brace for the next knuckle. Da Nang's massage scene is busy with tourist spots, so booking ahead here means no sitting around in reception. The vibe is professional and unhurried, with water on tap and a sauna if you want to extend the wind-down.

1h 30mfrom AUD $74

Mekong Delta My Tho and Ben Tre with Boat Cruise Private Tour

★ 4.9 (13)

Mekong Delta My Tho and Ben Tre with Boat Cruise Private Tour

When Em from our BugBitten team ran this private Mekong Delta tour, we left Ho Chi Minh City early and spent eight hours threading through the waterways of My Tho and Ben Tre. The Mekong feels genuinely sleepy — narrow canals lined with coconut palms, floating houses, and life organised around the river rhythm. You're picked up from your hotel, driven south, then shuttled by boat through the lush islands and quiet channels. The tour mixes boat cruising, farm visits, pagoda time, and a local lunch cooked to order. It's the kind of day that works best if you're after calm observation rather than action.

Private Day Trip To Visit MY LAI MASSACRE from Hoi an or Da Nang City

When Tom from our BugBitten team did this private day trip, we travelled 130km from Hoi An or Da Nang to My Lai, a village central to one of the Vietnam War's darkest chapters. The 7-hour tour pairs a guided museum visit, an emotionally weighted documentary, and time walking the memorial grounds to see reconstructed homes and physical remnants of the 1968 massacre. It's heavy material — not a sightseeing jaunt, but a direct encounter with war's civilian toll. The guide contextualises what you're seeing in English throughout, and lunch at a local restaurant breaks up the day. Expect quiet reflection rather than uplifting moments.

7 hoursfrom AUD $168

Can Tho: 2D1N Cycling, Floating Market & Homestay Experience

★ 4.9 (45)

Can Tho: 2D1N Cycling, Floating Market & Homestay Experience

When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this Can Tho tour, she stayed in a genuine family homestay and cycled through quiet village backroads instead of hitting the usual Mekong stops. It's a two-day, one-night loop that mixes pedalling through rural lanes, floating market visits at dawn, canal exploration by boat, and hands-on cooking with your host family. The Mekong Delta feels less crowded here — you're cycling past rice paddies and coconut groves, not queuing with tour groups. Small-group setup means your English-speaking guide actually knows you by the second morning.

Ho Chi Minh City Street Eats Tour with Optional Spa and Massage

Spend four hours navigating Ho Chi Minh City's food stalls and neighbourhoods with a local guide, sampling dishes at multiple stops without overdoing it. You'll taste how residents actually eat—smaller helpings of many different specialities rather than full meals at each vendor. The tour picks up from central districts and includes transport and English-speaking guidance. Food costs roughly USD 10–15 per person and aren't included in the tour price, given how street vendors operate.

Ninh Binh Night Show: The Emperor of the Reeds

When Em from our team caught this outdoor spectacle near Hoa Lu Ancient Town, we watched a full-scale performance centred on Dinh Bo Linh, the 10th-century founder of Vietnam's first unified state. The show merges traditional music, martial arts choreography, and lighting effects across an open-air stage framed by the karst landscape that makes Ninh Binh so striking. It's pitched at families and anyone keen to see Vietnamese history performed rather than read in a guidebook, and the whole thing runs about an hour. The crowd's a mix of locals and tourists, which keeps the energy genuine rather than theme-park-polished.

First VIP Cu Chi Tunnels Half Day Tour: Morning or Afternoon

When Tom from our team booked the First VIP Cu Chi Tunnels tour, we got a solid half-day into Vietnam's wartime underground network. You start at a handicraft workshop run by local artisans with disabilities—a genuine look at traditional skills—then head out to the countryside to explore the tunnels themselves. The 6-hour stint takes you through rubber plantations and rice paddies, into the tunnel system where you'll crouch through passages and see the Viet Cong's makeshift traps and living spaces, plus a jungle walk to understand the lay of the land. Small groups (4 or fewer) get bumped to a private SUV with a dedicated guide, which beats the standard shuttle shuffle.

Ba Na Hills Golden Bridge Sun World Private Day Tour

★ 4.9 (21)

6 hours – 7 hoursfrom AUD $149

Ba Na Hills Golden Bridge Sun World Private Day Tour

Spend a full day exploring Ba Na Hills via private vehicle with a dedicated driver, letting you control the itinerary and pace. You'll ascend by cable car through the clouds, traverse the iconic Golden Bridge hand-held by giant stone figures, and wander the recreated French colonial village. The tour includes water and a guide; lunch buffet is available for an extra charge. No fighting crowds—just you, your group, and the mountain.

Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour

★ 4.9 (20)

🛕 Culture & History

Private VIP Cu Chi Tunnels & Bonus City Tour

When Tom from our BugBitten team did this 6-hour private tour, Cu Chi Tunnels delivered exactly what it promises: a sobering walk through Vietnam War history beneath the red soil outside Ho Chi Minh City. You're dropped into the underground warren where fighters lived, treated injuries, and manufactured weapons whilst dodging relentless bombing campaigns. The tunnels themselves are claustrophobic and narrow — crawling through them gives you a visceral sense of the desperation involved. You'll catch a documentary, taste wartime rations, and get the option to fire weapons. It's not glamorous, but it's honest history.

Hanoi Best Local Food, Vegan, Vegetarian Option Add Train Street

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this Hanoi food tour, we expected the typical walking-and-eating setup — and that's mostly what we got, but with some solid local knowledge threaded through. You're led by an English-speaking guide through the Old Quarter's narrow streets, stopping at hole-in-the-wall spots to taste 5–6 regional dishes, then finishing at Train Street for a drink and people-watching. The tour caps out at 3 hours, which feels right for the pace and the number of stops. Vegan and vegetarian options are built in, so dietary needs aren't an afterthought here.

Da Nang City & Hoi An Ancient Town Private Guided Tour (10Hours)

★ 4.9 (10)

Da Nang City & Hoi An Ancient Town Private Guided Tour (10Hours)

When Noah from our team ran this 10-hour private tour, we hit the highlights of both Da Nang and Hoi An in one go. You're collected from your hotel and whisked through the modern side of Da Nang — the Lady Buddha statue, the Dragon Bridge — then inland to Marble Mountain for caves and views. After lunch at a local spot, it's bamboo basket boats through the coconut jungle, then into Hoi An's Old Town for the walking-tour classics: the Japanese bridge, Chinese Assembly Hall, traditional shophouses. A sunset boat ride rounds it out before the night market. It's a solid hit-the-essentials day, private driver and guide included.

9 hoursfrom AUD $203

Full Day Hoa Lu - Tam Coc - Mua Cave Group Tour - Limousine Bus

★ 4.9 (10)

Full Day Hoa Lu - Tam Coc - Mua Cave Group Tour - Limousine Bus

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this 11-hour loop around Ninh Binh, it hit the big three: Hoa Lu's ancient temples, Tam Coc's dramatic limestone karst by boat, and the steep climb up Mua Cave for proper countryside views. You're travelling in a comfortable limousine bus with a mixed group, so it's social without feeling cramped. The region's lush and otherworldly — think Vietnam's postcard landscape but actually walkable. Fair warning: there's genuine climbing involved, and the day's long, so come ready to move.

Handmade Incense Making Activity in local village from Hanoi

When Charlie from our BugBitten team did this half-day trip from Hanoi, we headed out past the Old Quarter into the surrounding countryside to learn incense-making from local craft workers in a village setting. The day weaves together food (proper egg coffee and pho at a solid Tripadvisor spot), time spent in a traditional incense workshop, and a feel for how village life actually works away from the tourist centre. It's six hours total, mostly hands-on, and gives you a genuine sense of a craft that's been part of Vietnamese culture for generations.

Hanoi Walking Street Food Tour

When Em from our team ran this three-hour Hanoi street food walk, it was less about ticking boxes and more about eating where locals actually eat. You'll move through the Old Quarter hitting vendor stalls and hole-in-the-wall joints, tasting everything from pho to bánh mì while your guide explains what's in each dish and why it matters to the neighbourhood. The pace is walkable but unhurried—you're stopping constantly to eat and chat with cooks. It's the kind of tour that shows you how Hanoi's real rhythm works: markets, family recipes, crowded footpaths, the lot.

North Phu Quoc Jeep Tour: Explore Nature, Culture & Local Life

When Jake from our BugBitten team ran the North Phu Quoc Jeep Tour, he spent 6.5 hours bouncing through island backroads in a proper off-road vehicle, hitting the kind of spots you don't see on the main tourist circuit. The route cuts through old-growth forest, stops at a swimming hole, includes a seafood lunch at a family fishing village, and wraps with basket-boat rowing on a quiet river. It's a solid mix of nature and local flavour without feeling rushed, and the island's still quiet enough that you'll actually see what you came for.

2-Day cruise in Lan Ha bay and Ha Long with plankton excursion

When Charlie from our BugBitten team took this two-day cruise, we found a genuinely quieter way to see both Lan Ha and Ha Long bays. You're picked up from Hanoi or Ninh Binh in the morning, then spend the first night anchored at a floating house in Lan Ha—far fewer tour boats here than the main Ha Long stretch. The real standout is the midnight kayak to spot bioluminescent plankton; paddle your hand through the water and watch it glow like scattered stars. Day two takes you into less-touristed Ha Long corners, with cave kayaking and a beach swim at Ba Trai Dao. Meals (lunch, dinner, breakfast) are included, and the boat itself stays lean on passenger numbers.

Bean to bar Chocolate Workshop in Ho Chi Minh City

When Alex from our team ran through Ban Cacao's bean-to-bar workshop in Ho Chi Minh City, we got a proper hands-on look at how Vietnamese chocolate makers work with local cacao. Over two hours, you crack open actual pods, husk beans, grind paste using a traditional granite mortar, then mould and wrap your own bar to take home. It's set in their working chocolate shop, so you're not in some tourist studio — you're watching how they actually do it, learning the history of cacao in Vietnam along the way.

★ 4.9 (24)

9 hours – 10 hoursfrom AUD $93

From Hanoi: Sapa 3D2N Homestay and Hotel Experience by VIP Bus

When Jake from our team ran this 3-day Sapa loop from Hanoi, we found it a solid mix of homestay immersion and hotel comfort — the kind of trip that doesn't pretend to be luxury but genuinely gets you into rural hill-tribe life. You'll sleep one night in a local family home in Ta Van village, hike through terraced rice fields, meet Hmong and Zao communities, then recover in town. The sleeper bus both ways is efficient (saves a hotel night) but demands acceptance of close quarters. Three days feels tight but doable if you're after substance over slack.

Tay Ninh Full-Day Tour: Black Virgin Mountain & Cao Dai Holy Mass

When Ben from our team ran this full-day tour, we headed north from Ho Chi Minh City to Tay Ninh, a region that feels worlds away from the city's chaos. The day loops between Ba Den Mountain — an iconic peak in Southern Vietnam with a cable car to the summit — Buddhist temples tucked into quiet landscapes, and the Cao Dai Holy See, a spiritual complex that blends Eastern and Western religious traditions in ways you won't see elsewhere. It's a solid 9–10 hours on the road and around the sites, mixing nature, history, and spirituality without feeling rushed. You get hotel pickup, a guide, lunch, and entrance fees sorted, though the cable car costs extra.

Halong Bay 2 Days - 1 Night with 5 Star Cruise included transfer & pick up

Halong Bay 2 Days - 1 Night with 5 Star Cruise included transfer & pick up

When Tom from our team booked this Halong Bay cruise, we got a proper taste of what a UNESCO-listed limestone seascape looks like from a traditional wooden junk. The Signature Halong Cruise is a two-day, one-night floating experience with air-conditioned suites, French-colonial touches, and rooftop space to watch the karst peaks slide past. It's a popular route for travellers wanting to tick the Bay off without roughing it, and the package bundles Hanoi hotel pickups both ways, so no taxi drama at 6 a.m.

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $168

MY SON SANCTUARY with THU BON CRUISE - Full Day Private Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this full-day private tour, we got a genuine slice of rural Vietnam — gong-casting villages, a swim under a waterfall, lunch cooked by locals, and the Champa ruins at My Son. Seven to eight hours of countryside roads, footpaths, and river-side hamlets. It's the kind of day where you see how people actually live here, not a polished heritage park.

Travel to Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand in 12 days

Travel to Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand in 12 days

When Charlie from our team took this 12-day run through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand with Viet Prestige Travel, it was a solid regional sampler. You're hitting the obvious anchors: Hanoi's old quarter buzz, Halong Bay's limestone karsts, Angkor's temple sprawl, Bangkok's controlled chaos, Ayutthaya's crumbling palaces, and Chiang Mai's northern calm. The itinerary stitches together three countries without feeling rushed, though you're essentially following the well-worn backpacker spine. All meals and entrance fees are locked in, and you've got a dedicated guide the whole way. It's the kind of trip that gives you postcards from each place rather than deep dives.

Ninh Binh luxury Day trip to Mua Cave, Tam Coc, Bich Dong, Boat & Bike

11 hours – 12 hoursfrom AUD $291

Ninh Binh luxury Day trip to Mua Cave, Tam Coc, Bich Dong, Boat & Bike

When Charlie from our team ran this Ninh Binh day trip, we packed a lot into 11–12 hours: hiking Mua Cave for the panoramic views, a sampan boat drift through three river caves with villages and rice paddies, cycling through rural valleys, and a quick stop at Bich Dong Pagoda. The route covers the classic Ninh Binh highlights and works as a one-day escape from Hanoi if you're after dramatic limestone scenery and a taste of countryside life. The luxury limousine pickup and drop-off sweeten the deal, though the pace is ambitious and the day leans toward sightseeing over lingering.

Hanoi Epic tour 4D3N Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay

Hanoi Epic tour 4D3N Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay

When Charlie from our BugBitten team ran this 4-day loop, it ticked off the big three: Hanoi's chaotic charm, Ninh Binh's limestone karst country, and Halong Bay's dramatic seascape. You're moving each day — transfers included, guide in tow — so it's built for travellers wanting a broad sweep of northern Vietnam without the DIY logistics. The itinerary strings together cultural hangs in the capital, kayaking through Hoa Lu's river valleys, and a night on the water among those iconic limestone towers. Pacing is moderate; expect long sits in vans and boats, but the payoff's solid if you're after a sampler rather than depth.

Con Son Islet – The Precious Gem Of Can Tho

When Ben from our team took this four-hour Con Son Islet tour out of Can Tho, he found a genuinely quiet pocket of the Mekong Delta. Fewer than a hundred households on the island mean you're not jostling with crowds — just wooden boats, local life, and the kind of stillness that makes you remember why you came to Vietnam. The tour bundles in lunch, seasonal fruit, a guide who speaks English, and a traditional cake tasting. It's a straightforward half-day escape from the city noise, and it works.

My Son sanctuary and Hoi An ancient town private tour (8a.m-4p.m)

When Em from our BugBitten team ran this private tour, we got a full day threading through central Vietnam's most significant sites. You're picked up for a drive to My Son, the sprawling temple complex built over centuries in the jungle, then onward to Hoi An's preserved old town—once the region's major port and still a tangle of Chinese, French, and Vietnamese influences. The eight-hour itinerary covers serious ground, mixing archaeology with living culture and a local lunch stop. Depending on which option you pick (private transfer solo, or with guide and meals included), costs shift—and holiday surcharges apply.

Hanoi to Ninh Binh Private Day Tour: Hoa Lu, Trang An & Mua Cave

When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this private day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, it ticked the boxes for a solid countryside escape without the coach-tour crush. You're driven south to explore the ancient citadel at Hoa Lu, paddle through limestone karsts on the Trang An waterway, and climb up to Mua Cave for views that stretch across rippling rice paddies and dramatic peaks. The day runs 10–12 hours depending on pace, with a Vietnamese lunch thrown in and a bicycle spin through the local landscape to round it out. It's the kind of tour that feels personal without feeling rushed—your driver and guide shape the rhythm, and the scenery does most of the talking.
