- Customization: This itinerary can be customized in length and focus. Many tour operators offer pre-designed packages or tailor-made trips.
- Transportation: Domestic flights are highly recommended for travel between major cities (Hanoi, Hue/Da Nang, HCMC) to save time. Trains and buses are good for shorter, scenic journeys between nearby locations (e.g., Hue to Hoi An, or Hanoi to Ninh Binh/Sapa).
- When to Visit: The best time to visit Vietnam is generally during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant nationwide.
