Having travelled Vietnam before I can easily say that this time was 1000x better thanks to this tour. I did so much more over the 12 days this time than the 3 weeks I was there before, and for half the price! Everything was sorted out for me and by great staff including an amazing guide. Have made friends for life with those among my travel group. Will never forget my time with such a great group of people. Definitely looking forward to booking another one of their other tours
What our customers ask about Vietnam Tours for Young Adults
What's the nightlife scene like for young travelers in Vietnam?
The nightlife in Vietnam's major cities caters well to young travelers with distinct personalities. Hanoi's Old Quarter comes alive with busy beer corners and cozy music venues while Ho Chi Minh City features stylish rooftop lounges and dance clubs. In contrast Hoi An offers a more laid-back scene with riverside bars and beach lounges. Nha Trang draws younger crowds to its beach parties and seaside clubs. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The nightlife was surprisingly good - from street-side beer corners in Hanoi to sophisticated rooftop bars in Saigon."
What kind of accommodation can I expect on a young adult tour in Vietnam?
Young adult tours in Vietnam provide varied accommodation that balances comfort with local character. You'll stay in centrally located 3-star hotels like Thanh Binh 2 in Hoi An plus authentic village homestays. Many itineraries include unique experiences such as overnight train journeys and boat stays in Halong Bay. The rooms are typically twin-share rather than dorm-style. A TourRadar reviewer confirms: "The accommodation was way better than expected especially loved the twin share situation rather than big dorms."
What are the must-visit destinations for young travelers in Vietnam?
Vietnam's key destinations blend urban energy with natural beauty. Ho Chi Minh City offers modern nightlife while Hoi An enchants with its preserved old town. Halong Bay provides the perfect setting for boat excursions and Hanoi's Old Quarter pulses with street life and culture. Less visited gems include the limestone peaks of Ninh Binh and homestays in Pu Luong National Park. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The highlights were kayaking in Halong Bay cycling through Hoi An's rice paddies and the rooftop bars in Ho Chi Minh City."
What unique cultural experiences are included for young travelers?
Tours connect young travelers with authentic Vietnamese culture through hands-on activities. You'll cook traditional dishes stay with local families make lanterns in Hoi An and visit hill tribe communities in Sapa. Many trips include Vietnamese coffee workshops and guided market tours to understand daily life. One TourRadar reviewer noted: "The homestay in Pu Luong was incredible - we learned so much about local life while having fun with the group."
What's the best length of time for a Vietnam tour for young adults?
The sweet spot for Vietnam tours falls between 10-15 days with 12 days emerging as the ideal duration. This timeframe allows visitors to experience key destinations without feeling rushed. The Vietnam Explorer 13-day tour has become particularly popular as it balances structured activities with free time. A TourRadar review confirms: "12 days was perfect - enough time to see everything while keeping the energy high throughout."
How much spending money should I budget per day in Vietnam?
Young travelers should plan for USD 50-80 daily to cover personal expenses beyond tour costs. This budget easily handles street food meals (USD 2-5) local beers (USD 1-3) and shopping at markets like Ben Thanh in Ho Chi Minh City. The amount gives flexibility for both basic needs and extra activities while maintaining a comfortable yet budget-conscious experience.
