    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need any vaccinations?

    Yes, please arrange an appointment with your local physician and explain your travel plans. Most hospitals have travel clinics with helpful information and vaccinations on site. We suggest doing this well before your trip is to begin to ensure there are no unexpected waiting periods during this process! Please visit here for more information: CDC

    Is there a dress code for entering the temples and other religious sites?

    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.

    Do many people travel to Vietnam alone?

    Yes, many travellers—both male and female—travel alone throughout Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Upon arrival, we will pick you up from the airport, you will meet your travel mates and the adventure begins.

    Can I wash my clothes during the tour?

    Yes, please! All accommodation aside from the homestay offers the chance to do your washing at very reasonable prices. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even go for the bucket wash - the price is right.

    Can I contact other people who have booked onto the same tour as me?

    Of course! We encourage everyone to connect through our social networks — you’ll find links at the bottom of this page. If you’ve joined a tour, we’ll send you an invite to a dedicated Facebook group or WhatsApp group before it starts.

    For most tours, the WhatsApp group is created about a week in advance. For the Backpacking Vietnam: Express Adventure tour, the WhatsApp group will be created 1 day before the tour starts. Your tour guide and tour manager will also be in the group to help with any questions.

    How much spending money should I bring?

    Not much is needed! We suggest at least £10 GBP / $15 USD (or equivalent) for spending money each day. The non-included meals are very cheap in Vietnam and all of your excursions, transport, and accommodation is included in the cost of the tour. If you plan to bring home a lot of gifts for friends or family (or yourself) or like a big night out then we suggest budgeting a bit more than the amounts listed above. You can get away with spending even less than this if you are on a tight budget but this average seems to work best for most group members.
