13 Day Vietnam Discovery Tour 2025 & 2026

!3 Day Vietnam Discovery Tour

We just returned from our Vietnam tour organised by Asia Discovery Tours. All the guides were excellent and our special compliment goes to Anh Hyung, our Saigon guide, who was very knowledgeable, informative and helpful. All the hotels were fabulous. We like all the big swimming pools in these hotels which we could cool us down and refresh ourselves from the heat after each day's tour. We enjoyed all the genuine Vietnamese food and we were spoiled with the variety of fresh food every meal. Well done, Asia Discovery Tours. We will definitely travel with you again and recommend our friends and relatives to this tour.

Notes

Passenger from Brisbane or Perth can take Singapore Airlines. Please add $380 per person if you want to depart from one of these cities. We will include the airport/hotel/airport transfers for you if your arrival or departure times are different from the group.
