Myself and a friend (20yo. australian females) are looking to join this tour to find our feet before exploring vietnam ourselves. Wondering how much of this tour has a guide with it, because we are looking for someone who will be able to answer our questions, tell us things about how to transfer money, whats a good price when bargaining, where to avoid for safety reasons etc. Will this be a good tour for us to "get a lay of the land" and get us set up for a multi week journey through vietnam?

For this itinerary, you will have a local tour guide during the visiting time of Day 2 and Day 3 (with join-in group). For the rest of the itinerary, you will have free time to explore on your own. We also provide customer support via Email/WhatsApp before, during, and even after your trip. So, if you have questions about things such as exchanging money, bargaining, transportation, places to visit, or anything else during your journey, you can message us and we'll be happy to help.

Is it possible to arrive one day earlier and stay at the hotel on the night of Saturday 10 December please?

Yes you can arrive one day earlier. We will arrange one extra night at the hotel at a surcharge of 53USD for 2 people including breakfast. We run our daily so you can start it at any dates you want.

My daughter and I would like to participate in your Vietnam company's travel project. Because my daughter and I have Chinese passports, We need a visa to enter Vietnam, so I would like to ask: Can you give some help so that we can get a Vietnam travel visa smoothly?
