However, some group tours likely show to travel more and visit either Laos or Cambodia and make the puzzle of Indochina completed by visiting the three destinations altogether. Following are few of useful travel tips and general information which are good in order to plan your group travel to Vietnam.
How much does a group travel to Vietnam cost?
This is pretty much depend on what your group will likely want to see and to do when in the country, what are the flights and where will your group departure from? Generally speaking, flights to Vietnam are a bit expensive compare to flights to other South-East Asian destinations such as Malaysia, Singapore and or Thailand the reason is because there are more frequent flights to those destinations than in Vietnam, however, there are direct flights from Paris and London to both Hanoi in northern Vietnam and to Ho Chi Minh City in Southern Vietnam. Food are cheap if you are a fan of street eating, a bowl of noodle soup cost you around 25000 VND in the big cities like Hanoi, transportation are made with local bus, or Xe Om ( Motor bike taxis) as well as different type of taxi which drive you using the metered rate.
Choosing the best hotels to stay when in Vietnam
There are a lot of options to choose from, Vietnam tourism infrastructure has been increasingly grew since last decade as you find a variety of options from cheap charley budget hostels to the top and world class luxury hotels and accommodations everywhere in Country, the best deals for accommodating any small group travel packages to Vietnam are the boutique hotels which are dotted all around the country with a very reasonable deals and sometimes great promotions for the group tours.
How about the use of credit card and other major currencies in Vietnam?
While you are traveling in Vietnam it is advised to change the Euro or Dollar to the local currency, the Vietnamese Dong or VND, which is the official currency of Vietnam. USD and Euro are not accepted in local restaurants, of course you can pay your hotel bill with your credt card but the charge and the transfer fee is about 3.3 %, so, it is better to change your money to the Vietnamese Dong when in Vietnam. ATM’s are available across the country, more in bigger cities than small town and be advised to bring the cash if you are traveling to the remote area.
How to travel inside Vietnam?
For long distances such as Hanoi to Nha Trang, or Saigon it is advised to take the dometic flights, there are also train options available for traveling inside the country, but that’s not considered for the group traveling as the distances are the matter. Vietnam Airlines as well as VietJet are the two main and most popular domestic airlines, for route like Hanoi to Sapa it is much better to travel with night train though the buses are also available widely.
Organizing your group travel packages to Vietnam
If your group willing to travel to Sapa, or Halong Bay as well as the Mekong Delta then I highly recommend to book your trip through a reliable agency which could be able to offer you the best possible offer, getting to Sapa is easy but finding the best hotel or trekking route seems to be difficult, some groups are likely to sleep in local home-stay instead of the fancy hotels and the best advice is to contact a local Vietnam packages tours provider to give you the variety of offers.
How to get a Vietnam visa on arrival?

The temperature in central coast and Ho Chi Minh City are a bit more comparing to Hano, but it was relatively cool and pleasant in Sapa and in the Halong Bay
