Is safe for Tourists?

Yes, travel around Vietnam is extremely safe almost everywhere. The police control very well the country and rarely appear in news robberies or muggins, especially to tourists. You should be aware just of scams and hassles, particularly in the big cities as Hanoi, Ho Chi Min, Nha Trang, or Hoi An.

What month should I go?

Talking about the weather, March is probably the best month to visit the country. For photographers that want to capture the rice fields during the golden season, it’s at the end of September. So our trip is planning to match perfectly with the best photography month. The weather at the end of Summer is around 24°C.

Is street food safe to eat?

You just need as cautious as you will be in your city. Normally the street food is good and fresh. Look for the most frequent stall, as it will be the freshest food. Our packages include all meals during the trip, so you not will need to worry about it, as we visit only good and recognized restaurants.
