Reviewed by Ebert, December 16, 2022

From start to finish, this tour was an exceptional experience. Alex, our travel advisor, was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and putting together a tailored itinerary that perfectly fit our interests and preferences. We were able to visit some of Vietnam's most iconic sites, including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, and the Cu Chi Tunnels, as well as lesser-known but equally fascinating places like the Mekong Delta and the Marble Mountains.

The accommodations throughout the tour were top-notch, with clean and comfortable rooms, delicious food, and friendly staff. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, and went out of his way to make sure that we had the best possible experience. He was always available to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and make sure that we were comfortable.

One of the highlights of the tour was the opportunity to meet and interact with local people, both in the cities and in more rural areas. We were able to learn about their culture and way of life, and even participate in some traditional activities like making rice paper and fishing with local fishermen.

Overall, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you are looking for an immersive and unforgettable experience in Vietnam, IDC Travel and Alex are the way to go. Thank you for an incredible trip!

Beautiful Vietnam !!!

Reviewed by Leanne S. Marquis, December 15, 2022
The guide knew the area very well and spoke good English. The beach is beautiful and maybe because of the virus fewer people travelling, or maybe because of the location and the timing, but it felt like we had the whole area to ourselves. The food and fruits are also delicious.

The first step in planning is knowing when you are going and how long you want to stay at the beach. When you go will determine which part of Vietnam has the best weather.

It is also useful to know how long you want to stay. Do you want to live experiences in the city during your trip? The length of your stay will help determine which beach is best.

The next step is to choose the beach that suits your travel style and needs. In general, Nha Trang is a great place for a simple beach vacation where travelers can get their money’s worth. For people looking for luxury experiences, the beaches of Hue and Da Nang are the best.

Finally, in Vietnam, the choice of hotels is endless and it is important to choose the right hotel for your trip. Solo travelers and families generally look for good-value hotels that are located near the beach or major area attractions.

Honeymooners or those seeking luxury often feel more comfortable on a private beach, in a villa or resort.

 

The best time to visit the beaches of Vietnam depends on the area you want to go. However, as the best beaches stretch from the center to the south of the country, there is always a good beach break to take, whatever season you are travelling.

From the northern regions of Halong Bay to the secluded island of Phu Quoc in the south, Vietnam has gorgeous beaches for swimming, snorkeling, water sports and quiet relaxation.
