Often called “Halong Bay on land,” Ninh Binh combines striking limestone mountains with tranquil rice paddies and ancient temples. It’s a favorite stop in many Vietnam package tours because it offers such a peaceful contrast to the cities. Take a boat ride through the caves of Trang An, climb to the Mua Cave viewpoint, and cycle through quiet village roads surrounded by scenic countryside.

What Travelers Say About Our Vietnam Package Tours
Read what other travelers thought of their Vietnam package tour — from the first planning message to the final day of their trip.
Fantastic, highly recommended!
In February 2020 I made a fantastic 4-week trip through Vietnam. I had a laundry list of places I wanted to see, activities I wanted to do, and at least an equally large list of things I didn't want. Marnick and Thao soon came up with an initial proposal, which in my opinion was almost perfect.
Outstanding service
I contacted Local Vietnam to help arrange a solo trip to Sapa for climbing Mount Fansipan. I have requested it fairly last minute and Local Vietnam was able to deliver! Among the other travel agencies available, they are very responsive and adaptable. Nhung Phung contacted me shortly after my online enquiry and all the arrangements were made over 48 hours.
Service was amazing!
In very good consultation and personal contact prior to our trip we discussed our trip through Vietnam and put it together with different building blocks and suggestions from Local Vietnam. All transfers were arranged perfectly and all were correct.
Wonderful day to Cu Chi tunnels
Via Marnick we arranged a private driver to cu chi tunnels. For our son, the shooting was the highlight so we did that first (no other people present so early)
Then to the tunnels with a local guide.
Communication was perfect and the driver (although he spoke little English) was a good driver.
Excellent
Visa on arrival arranged and halong bay tour booked. Everything went perfectly. Communication always smooth and clear. Recommended!
Just what I wanted
I wanted to do a motorcycle holiday in Vietnam with my girlfriend for 4 weeks. They have made a wonderful program for me. During our trip we sometimes had unexpected problems, but they helped us with this. They delivered an A to Z trip in which I was able to experience Vietnam in its entirety. Think of city trips to beautiful routes to travel.

Everything you need to know about Vietnam Package Tours
14 Highlights during a Vietnam Package Tour
Planning a Vietnam package tour means choosing from a huge variety of landscapes, cultures, and travel styles. Below are ten highlights that show why Vietnam is one of Asia’s most rewarding destinations — and what you can expect from a well-designed tour.
1. Ha Giang
Ha Giang is Vietnam’s most dramatic mountain region and a highlight of any well-designed Vietnam package tour. The famous Ha Giang Loop winds through limestone peaks, deep valleys, and small ethnic minority villages where daily life remains unchanged for generations. Expect jaw-dropping mountain passes, friendly homestays, and endless photo opportunities — this is Vietnam at its rawest and most authentic.
2. Hoi An
Most Vietnam package tours begin in Hanoi, the country’s lively capital. It’s the perfect place to get a first taste of Vietnamese culture — from the narrow alleys of the Old Quarter to the colonial architecture and street food stalls that fill every corner. Explore the Temple of Literature, visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and enjoy an evening stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake before your journey continues to other regions.
3. Sapa
Sapa is Vietnam’s most famous mountain town and a must for travelers who love nature and local culture. Trek through terraced rice fields that cascade down the mountains, visit Hmong and Dao minority villages, and stay in a family-run homestay for a glimpse of daily rural life. Clear days reward you with panoramic views of Fansipan — the highest peak in Indochina — making Sapa one of northern Vietnam’s unforgettable highlights.
4. Halong Bay
A cruise through Halong Bay (or the quieter Lan Ha Bay) is a signature experience included in most Vietnam travel packages. Sail past thousands of limestone islands rising from emerald water, kayak into hidden lagoons, and spend the night on a comfortable boat beneath a starry sky. With options from boutique cruises to luxurious retreats, Halong Bay perfectly blends natural wonder with relaxation.
5. Hoi An
Hoi An is Vietnam’s most atmospheric town and an essential stop on any Vietnam package tour. This former trading port blends centuries-old architecture with riverside charm and a vibrant food scene. Stroll through lantern-lit streets, explore local tailors and markets, and take a boat ride on the Thu Bon River at sunset. Whether you visit for culture, crafts, or cuisine, Hoi An captures the timeless beauty of central Vietnam.
6. Phong Nha
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to some of the most impressive caves on Earth, including Son Doong — the world’s largest. It’s a must for adventure seekers looking to add excitement to their Vietnam itinerary. You can explore easy-access caves by boat or embark on multi-day jungle treks that include swimming and climbing inside enormous underground chambers.
7. Ninh Binh
8. Ho Chi Minh City
Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s largest and most dynamic metropolis — a place that brings energy to any Vietnam package tour. Here you can dive into the country’s street food scene, visit the moving War Remnants Museum, and explore the historic Cu Chi Tunnels. Despite its fast pace, the city also offers quieter corners: French-colonial landmarks, rooftop bars at sunset, and short escapes to the Mekong Delta just a few hours away.
9. Cao Bang
Cao Bang, in Vietnam’s remote northeast, remains one of the country’s best-kept secrets. It’s home to Ban Gioc Waterfall — the most spectacular in Vietnam — and peaceful mountain roads lined with ethnic Tay and Nung villages. Few travelers make it this far, which makes Cao Bang an ideal addition to a longer Vietnam package tour for those seeking untouched scenery and genuine local life.
10. Mekong Delta
The Mekong Delta offers a completely different side of Vietnam — flat, fertile, and full of life along the rivers. A boat trip here reveals floating markets, coconut workshops, rice-paper villages, and lush orchards. Many Vietnam travel packages include a visit to the Delta from Ho Chi Minh City to experience the region’s hospitality and the slow rhythm of life on the water.
11. Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc Island is Vietnam’s tropical paradise and the perfect ending to a longer Vietnam package tour. It offers clear turquoise waters, palm-fringed beaches, and excellent snorkeling spots. Beyond relaxing, you can explore fishing villages, night markets, and forest trails inside the island’s national park. With both luxury resorts and local charm, it’s the ideal place to unwind after your journey across the country.
12. Pu Luong
Tucked between limestone mountains and rice terraces, Pu Luong Nature Reserve is a peaceful alternative to more famous destinations. It’s ideal for travelers who want authentic rural scenery without crowds. Many packages include light trekking, bamboo rafting, and nights in eco-lodges surrounded by nature — a perfect way to experience Vietnam’s quiet countryside.
13. Hue
Once the imperial capital of Vietnam, Hue offers deep insight into the country’s royal history and architecture. Walk through the ancient Imperial City, visit beautifully decorated emperors’ tombs, and take a boat ride on the Perfume River. It’s a cultural highlight in any well-balanced Vietnam itinerary and a must for travelers interested in heritage and tradition.
14. Dalat
Dalat, known as the “City of Eternal Spring,” offers a refreshing mountain escape in southern Vietnam. Its cool climate, pine forests, and French villas make it unlike anywhere else in the country. Adventure lovers can go canyoning, mountain biking, or hiking through waterfalls and valleys, while others enjoy local coffee farms and flower gardens. Dalat adds a touch of nature and romance to any well-balanced Vietnam package tour.
