Yes, the dress code is seen as a show of respect to the culture, temple and monks that often live in the temples. Men should wear long pants and no cut-off sleeves. Women should wear trousers, a long skirt, or dress that extends fully below the knees and covers their shoulders - the knees should be fully covered. Tank tops and low cut shirts should also be avoided by both genders.
Both! There are ATM machines throughout the tour in nearly every location we visit. There is usually a currency exchange fee and most banks will charge a processing fee. For this reason, we suggest withdrawing however much you feel you will need on tour (explained above) when using the machines. The more you use the ATMs the more fees you will pay. Vietnam has a cap on most withdrawals so we suggest using ANZ Bank Machines as they allow withdrawals of up to 5M VND per transaction. For currency exchange, there are kiosks throughout the airport when you land and also opportunities in Hanoi once you arrive at the hotel. These kiosks accept all major currencies from Western countries. You can also exchange at home before you arrive but the exchange fee is usually higher. The cheaper option is to use an ATM card but currency exchange is also readily available. Just make sure to let your bank know you plan to travel abroad so they do not lock your account when they see a sudden overseas withdrawal.
No problem at all - just make sure to arrive at the hotel for the starting date of the tour! We can arrange early night’s accommodation at the hotel and airport transfer or provide easy-to-use directions for getting from the airport to our hotel where there are many other accommodation options if you prefer to shop around for pricing.
Yes! After placing your deposit, you can pay off the tour in installments of your choosing and at your convenience. The final remaining balance is due at least 60 days before your tour is set to begin.
Not at all! The deposit confirms your place on the tour. We kindly ask that you provide the remaining balance no less than 60 days before your tour begins.
WiFi is available at all accommodations during the trip.
Vietnam's diverse climate means there's always a good time to visit somewhere in the country. The ideal time for most regions is during the dry season from November to April, when temperatures are cooler and rainfall is minimal.
Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa) is best visited from October to April, while Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta) enjoys pleasant weather year-round. Central Vietnam, including Hoi An and Hue, is most comfortable from February to August.
For comprehensive weather information, check our guide on Vietnam weather and best time to visit.
Vietnam's currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). US Dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, but you'll get better rates paying in local currency. ATMs are readily available in cities and tourist areas, dispensing Vietnamese Dong.
Credit cards are accepted at upscale hotels, restaurants, and shops, but cash is still preferred for street food, markets, and smaller establishments. We recommend carrying a mix of USD and local currency for convenience.
For the best exchange rates and low international fees, consider getting a Wise travel card before your trip.
Vietnam is generally a very safe destination for honeymooners and tourists. The country has low crime rates, and violent crime against tourists is extremely rare. Most travelers experience nothing more serious than minor petty theft, which can be easily avoided with basic precautions.
As with any travel destination, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, and avoid displaying expensive items openly. We recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance through SafetyWing for added peace of mind during your romantic getaway.
Our Vietnam honeymoon packages include private transportation and carefully selected luxury accommodations in safe areas, ensuring you can focus on creating beautiful memories together. For health preparations, check out our guide on recommended vaccines for Vietnam travel.
The main difference is accommodation. Premium tours feature 5-star hotels and unique boutique stays like private pool villas or clifftop resorts. Classic tours offer comfortable, well-chosen standard hotels — great quality, better value.
On the activity side, Classic itineraries are a little more flexible, with optional add-ons you can pick to personalise your trip.
Either way, both tours are designed to make your honeymoon truly special — it's just about what style suits you best.

Vegetarians will be happy to know that Vietnam is very accommodating for vegetarians. Your tour guide can instruct any kitchen to create a Vietnamese dish without meat which they will often substitute with freshly-made tofu.
Vietnamese cuisine is fresh, flavorful, and healthy, featuring herbs, vegetables, rice, and noodles. Famous dishes include pho (noodle soup), banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), fresh spring rolls, and cao lau. Each region has its specialties - northern cuisine is more subtle, central is spicier, and southern is sweeter.
Street food is an integral part of the culture and generally safe to eat from busy stalls with high turnover. Your Honeymoon Tours package includes select meals at quality restaurants, but we encourage exploring local cuisine during free time.
Vegetarian and dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated, though it's helpful to learn key phrases or have them written in Vietnamese. Fresh fruit, coffee, and seafood are exceptional throughout the country.

For the best flight deals and comparison shopping, we recommend using Skyscanner to find competitive prices. For more flight booking tips, visit our flight arrangement guide.
While not mandatory, travel insurance is highly recommended for Vietnam. It provides coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other unexpected situations that could affect your honeymoon.
Vietnam has good medical facilities in major cities, but travel insurance ensures you're covered for any health issues, accidents, or emergency evacuations. It also protects your investment in case you need to cancel or interrupt your trip.
We recommend SafetyWing travel insurance for comprehensive coverage. Make sure your policy covers adventure activities if you plan to participate in trekking, water sports, or other active pursuits during your Vietnam tour.
