1.    Create a list of criteria

A list of criteria before selecting any product as well as a Vietnam tour package is the foremost step because it’s like a magnetic needle during your study. It is better to consider these categories:
 

Your hobbies

At first, you should know whether you are looking for a Vietnam honeymoon vacation, an adventure, an eco-tourism trip or simply a classic tour to explore Vietnam. If you take responsibility for a group, realize the group’s insight is necessary. 
 

Your destinations

You now have your destination - Vietnam. It becomes easier to look for attractive sites throughout the country. Among Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is known for a friendly, hospitable stop along with abundant stunning landscapes stretching from north to south, from west to east, from giant mainland to pretty islands.

Your departure date

The best time to visit Vietnam is from October to April in the following year when temperatures in all three regions: north, central and south regions are milder and rain is minimal, but it is expect to be in high season with an increase in hotel prices. Though summer time from May to September is still an ideal for Beach holidays in some coastal cities, you can expect a reasonable price trip in this time. A shower just comes for a couple of hours to refresh Saigon as well as other cities in the south of Vietnam. 
On the other hand, along Vietnam’s S-shape, there are a variety of particular areas which are wonderful terminals during a year-round such as Sapa, Halong Bay, Phu Quoc, Dalat, etc.
 

Your travel companians:

“Who will travel with you?” is one of the keys that help you choose your pertinent Vietnam tour operator. When you are going to travel with many colleagues or a big group, it is much more intricate to harmonize accommodation, places to visit, restaurants and transportation. It should be considered carefully if your kids come together with you. A local expert and professional one will be able to handle these hassles. 
 

Your expectation

Making a list of your expectations for this Vietnam travel package is suggested to ensure that your decision is true and your Vietnam journey will be as exciting as you look forward to. They can be your budget, hotel standards, tours activities you want (skying, surfing, swimming, team building, etc).

2.    Take notes

Do not forget to prepare your pen, paper and necessary tools to take notes before starting step 3.

3.    Look for information 

If this is the first time to plan Vietnam tour package, it can take you a lot of time to find the destiny among a mass of information. Our goal is the most suitable itinerary, transportation, accommodation, restaurants and last – a trusted tour operator.
In the new era of the 4.0 Industry, the internet is a very close friend whatever we want to look for. In general, there are some certain things to search: 
 

Tour costs

Make sure to ask them expenses, surcharges that you are unclear. There are some companies requiring you to pay additional fees when the tour starts or not listing park or attraction entrance tickets on their quotation. 
If you are a solo traveler on a group tour, it is wiser to choose the company that could pair you (with a person the same gender). 
 

Tour target audience

Each itinerary is designed towards specific groups with different hobbies, needs, expectations, and services during a tour. You can find out by usually seeing from the photos of these tours who goes on it.
 

Tour itinerary

Well-scheduled activities from your arrival until your return are needed to balance your time in Vietnam. You may not like sitting around all day or joining an overwhelming day tour, either.
 

Tour group size

This is depending on your preference, but it is better to not find yourself with a group too small or too large for your tastes. You can choose Vietnam private tours also in case you need more private space with your partners on honeymoon holidays, family holidays, etc. 
 

Tour guide

Guides can make or break your Vietnam tours. Good local guides are able to go to explain everything to you and deal with troubles to keep the flow of the tour going.
