Package
tours to Vietnam are offered by travel agencies worldwide. Nearly all
these tours follow one of a dozen or so set itineraries. Tours come in
every shape and size from budget trips to ultimate indulgences. Tours
booked outside Vietnam are not bad value when you tally everything up (flights Vietnam, hotels, transport), but then again it’s a cheap country for travelling.
It’s easy enough to book flights Vietnam
and make the travel arrangements after arrival. The main saving through
booking before arrival is time, and if time is more precious than
money, a pre-booked package tour is probably right for you.
Almost
any good travel agency can book you on a standard mad-dash minibus tour
around Vietnam. More noteworthy are the adventure tours arranged for
people with a particular passion. These include speciality tours for
cyclists, trekkers, bird-watchers, war veterans, culture vultures and
gourmet travellers.
