WomPom wants to make one thing clear, up front.
You DO NOT
need a guided tour, you should NOT buy a package tour from a Tour
Operator outside of ViętNam - unless you have too much money or unable to speak
English, French or Vietnamese.
In fact,
many of the Tour Operators simply buy an in-country tour, slap the cost of the air fare
on to it and together with a large profit and that's it. So why pay all the big money, simply
search for the best air fares and the rest will fall in to place - with large
savings!
This web page is
intended to give you sufficient information so that you can decide upon your
itinerary, book your initial hotel accommodation, pre-arrange the travel for the
first few days after arrival.
Any
recommendations made are based on the reports we receive; if WomPom recommends a
travel product it based on the experience of WomPom staff and is labelled as
such. Advertisements are clearly identified, and paid for.

For first time visitors
to ViętNam it is best that you enter the country through HaNoi and
then explore the north, around Ha Noi, before heading south and exiting through Ho Chi Minh
City/SaiGon.
The reasons for
this are:
(1) there are three distinct areas to visit in the North – Ha Noi,
Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa. A less busy destination is
Mai
Chau, although visitors will be rewarded with natural
vistas and the ethnic groups or hill tribes.;
(2) Time between tours tour Sa Pa and Ha Long Bay can be
used to explore Ha Noi.
(2) using in-country tours for Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa will
gain you experience of travelling in ViętNam and will
acclimatise you for your journey to the south of ViętNam.
