Booking quality accommodations is a priority for any traveler. At Planet Travel Advisor, we ensure that all our recommended stays offer comfort, convenience, and a glimpse into Vietnamese hospitality.

First impressions set the tone for your journey, and we’re here to ensure yours is seamless and welcoming. Our dedicated representatives are on hand to greet you when you arrive in Vietnam, offering personalized assistance every step of the way.

Traveling across Vietnam is best done via domestic flights, particularly when visiting cities like Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City. We work with reliable airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, and Bamboo Airways to ensure your comfort and safety.
Flight schedules are chosen to match your itinerary and preferences, whether you prefer early-morning departures or late-night flights. Special requests for upgraded seats or classes can be accommodated for an additional charge.
Packing smartly is crucial for a comfortable trip. Planet Travel Advisor provides detailed packing recommendations depending on the season of your visit—whether during the cool winter in the north or the warm tropical weather in the south.
Don’t forget essentials like comfortable walking shoes, lightweight clothing, travel adapters, sunscreen, and any prescription medication. Rest assured, Vietnam’s bustling markets have everything you might need if you forget something.
Your comfort and convenience are at the heart of our service. We provide modern, air-conditioned vehicles tailored to your group size, whether you're a solo traveler, with family, or part of a larger group.

We believe in transparent pricing, so once your tour is confirmed and deposits are made, there are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Your package price covers all agreed-upon services, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
However, the package does not include personal expenses such as tips for guides and drivers, souvenirs, and optional activities or excursions outside the itinerary. This allows you to budget and manage these additional costs according to your preferences. If you’d like assistance planning optional activities, our team is always happy to help.
Tipping in Vietnam is not obligatory, but recognizing excellent service is a kind and appreciated gesture. It is common practice to offer tips to tour guides, drivers, and restaurant staff as a token of gratitude for their efforts in enhancing your experience.
The amount can vary depending on the service, but even small gratuities can go a long way in showing your appreciation. If you're unsure about appropriate tipping amounts, Planet Travel Advisor can provide clear and helpful guidelines to ensure you feel confident and comfortable navigating Vietnam's tipping customs.
Vietnam's train system offers a unique and scenic way to explore the country, especially along iconic routes like Hanoi to Sapa or Da Nang to Hue. These journeys allow travelers to soak in breathtaking landscapes, from lush rice fields to coastal vistas.
While train travel provides an adventurous and memorable experience, it may require more time than other options. Domestic flights are often a better choice for travelers seeking convenience and efficiency.
