Vietnam has a special place in my heart and every time I visit I thoroughly enjoy the culture and people that make it. Traveling in northern Vietnam and staying at home with the locals and exploring the countryside is something I particularly enjoy. If you’ve never tried a homestay before, it’s a good idea to find a good Vietnam travel agency to help. These companies work with local villages to help attract tourists that improve the living standards of local residents and provide a source of income for families. When looking for a Vietnam tour company, check out how they help the communities they travel to. Finding a travel agency that gives back to the community is very important. Some of the bigger tour operators send lots of people on buses to major attractions and shuttles before you actually get to know people. Traveling to Vietnam through a travel agency that offers small custom tours is a much more personal experience, and usually with a little research, these companies give a lot back to the communities they help serve.
The average income in Vietnam is less than $300 a month, and many families rely on the income of tourists to live and send their children to school. For me, there is nothing better than being able to show my family a good time while traveling and helping them get a glimpse into their culture and lifestyle. So, consider planning a homestay on your next trip to Vietnam.
Now I understand most travelers don’t want a homestay for the entire vacation and there are many amazing hotels and resorts where you can stay and experience. Here are my favorites.
먹튀검증 . Halong Bay Cruise
Taking a cruise in Halong Bay is a must-do activity when traveling to Vietnam. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an amazing place to see and experience. Taking a 2-3 day cruise in Halong Bay is a great way to see all it has to offer.
2. Hanoi City Tour
Visiting Hanoi is a great way to experience the busy city life of northern Vietnam. The wonderful sights and places to visit and shop in Hanoi’s Old Quarter make it a very unique experience. You just have to try. Hanoi also has dozens of amazing restaurants, some of which are tucked away in back alleys and very difficult to find. Don’t be afraid to try new things, but keep in mind that our western lifestyle is not accustomed to drinking water.
3. After Vietnam
Vietnam Hue is a special city with a lot of history in central Vietnam. A visit to the Hue Citadel is a must-do activity if you are in Hue, and having lunch at the monastery is a great way to experience the culture and enjoy a unique and delicious meal.
4. Hoi An, Vietnam
This extraordinary beach city is a great way to pamper yourself and enjoy the beaches of Central Vietnam. Some of the world’s finest resorts are located in Hoi An, including Nam Hai, a stunning 6-star hotel that offers a luxurious experience that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. The beaches are great and a great way to spend a few days taking a break from your travels and exploring the town and some of the local attractions.
5. Saigon, Vietnam
If you are in southern Vietnam, you must visit Saigon, officially known as Ho Chi Minh City. Many people still refer to the city as Saigon. Although this city is more westernized than other cities in Vietnam, you can still experience a lot of very unique culture and there are hundreds of amazing attractions to visit during your stay here. There are beautiful hotels that are very affordable to stay. In general, Saigon is a great starting point and ending point for tours in southern Vietnam. There are many amazing small towns around Saigon that offer the small, personal experiences many are looking for, but if you can’t spend all your time in a small town, you can still enjoy big-city resorts and amazing dining options.
