Could I drop Saps and add a couple days in mid eastern coast of Vietnam. I understand there is major holiday in Vietnam in Feb, what are the dates, I would like to avoid that time.

Tết Lunar Year, the biggest holiday in Vietnam will start in 16 February, I would advise starting around 20 February so you can enjoy Post Tết Vibes. It is possible to skip Sapa, please share with me your interest in the central Vietnam so I will customize the trip plan accordingly.

What an amazing trip for my family! I especially loved Sapa, I trekked along the rice terraces, visit villages, and experience the daily life of the locals. It felt truly authentic. The scenery was stunning and we captured so many beautiful photos. My partner enjoyed Phu Quoc more, he loved snorkeling and scuba diving, he said he would definitely come back in the future. Vietnam really exceeded our expectations.Show more
