Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time travel to Vietnam?

The best time to visit Vietnam depends on the region you plan to explore:

  • - In the North, including Hanoi, Ha Long, and Sa Pa, spring (March to April) and autumn (September to November) offer ideal weather with sunny days perfect for sightseeing. For those who love SaPa and the Fansipan mountain, the months of October, November, February, and March are the best times to experience the breathtaking "cloud hunting" scenery.
  • - In Central Vietnam, including destinations like Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue, the best time to visit is from February to August, with July and August being the sunniest months, ideal for beach vacations and exploring the region’s culinary and historical culture.
  • - In the South, including Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, the weather is warm year-round, but the dry season from December to May is particularly favorable for travel

Can you give me advice about the Weather and anything else that I need to taking care of?

Vietnam's rainy season typically falls between mid-July and the end of August, bringing storms and flooding to the central region, and creating challenging, even dangerous, conditions for mountain climbing in the northern areas. Therefore, it is crucial for travelers to regularly check weather forecasts during this period to ensure their safety.

What are the best places to visit in Vietnam?

The best place to visit in Vietnam:

  1. Hanoi ( Vietnam's Capital) : This is tops the list of the best place to visit in Vietnam. The city boasts many distinctive features, such as an iconic red brigde ( The Huc Bridge) that can not be found in any other place, makeing it a must - visit for travel enthusiasts. Even on the busy streets, you can feel Hanoi's charm and peacefulness.
  2. Halong Bay: Renowned for its green waters and towering limestone karsts covered in lush vegetation, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site.For many people, the highlight of their trip to Vietnam is an overnight ride aboard a traditional junk boat around Ha Long Bay. As you glide down the calm rivers, you'll see floating settlements like Cua Van, Vung Vieng, and Cong Dam and be treated to surreal sights. The best ways to see one of Vietnam's most stunning locations are to kayak through the stunning caverns and karsts or have a swim in the clean, quiet waters.
  3. Sapa: Known for its breathtaking mountain scenery, terraced rice fields, and ethnic minority villages, Sapa is great for trekking and cultural experiences.
  4. Ninh Binh: Known as "Ha Long Bay on land," dazzles with its dramatic limestone karsts, serene waterways, and impressive caves. Highlights include scenic boat rides through Tam Cốc’s caves, exploring the historical Hoa Lư Ancient Capital, and marveling at the stunning landscapes and cave systems in Trang An.
  5. Danang: A vibrant coastal city known for its stunning beaches, modern skyline, and rich cultural heritage. Highlights include the iconic Dragon Bridge, the Marble Mountains, and the scenic My Khe Beach. The city offers a blend of historical sites, vibrant street food, and a gateway to nearby cultural attractions like Hoi An and My Son.
  6. Hoi An: This is a charming ancient town known for its well-preserved architecture, vibrant lantern-lit streets, and rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy wandering through its narrow alleys, exploring historic temples, and savoring delicious local cuisine, all while experiencing a unique blend of traditional and colonial influences.
  7. Mekong Delta: One of Vietnam's most picturesque areas is the Mekong Delta, sometimes referred to as the "Rice Bowl of Vietnam." Life in this land of meandering rivers, mangrove forests, floating marketplaces, and verdant rice fields is dictated by the ebb and flow of the most famous river in Southeast Asia.
  8. Ho Chi Minh City: Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City serves as both the southern region's principal hub and Vietnam's economic center. The dynamic cityscape of HCMC, a free-spirited, multicultural metropolis, combines old and new Vietnam in the smallest possible area, symbolizing both the city's past and future.

As first-time travelers to Southeast Asia, we weren’t quite sure what to expect from Vietnam, but Arthur from Asia Mystika made all the difference in planning our trip and ensuring everything went smoothly. From seamless pick-ups and drop-offs to comfortable transportation, cozy accommodations, and well-organized local tours, Arthur and his team made sure our trip was completely hassle-free. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to fully enjoy the beauty and history of Vietnam. A huge thank you to Arthur! We’ll definitely be back, as there’s so much more to explore in these warm and welcoming countries. Cheers!

We took an 8-day tour through North Vietnam, and Asia Mystika made the entire experience seamless. From the booking process and visa application to the warm meet-and-greet, airport pickups, and guided tours of all the must-see spots, everything was handled with professionalism. Billy, our host from Asia Mystika, whom we met in Hanoi, was absolutely fantastic. He was always available to answer any questions and provided all the details we needed. The tour was extremely well-coordinated, offering us a great insight into Vietnam's culture and beauty. The guides were knowledgeable, the facilities were excellent, and the hotels were perfectly selected, always located in the best tourist areas. We felt truly well taken care of by Billy and the entire Asia Mystika team, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide, Arthur. He arrived at our hotel right on time, greeted us warmly, and shared so much interesting information about Vietnamese history throughout the day. Our driver did a great job navigating the traffic, making the journey smooth and safe. On our way to Tam Coc, we stopped to visit a temple dedicated to the Dynasty King, where Arthur provided all the details we needed to appreciate the history and significance. Afterward, he treated us to a delicious buffet lunch with a wide variety of fresh dishes to choose from. The highlight of the day was definitely the boat ride on the river—truly a breathtaking experience with stunning views. It’s a must-do if you're visiting Vietnam, just as beautiful as Halong Bay. Some of our group opted for a bicycle tour, while we chose to explore the charming little village instead. Arthur was always there to answer our questions and keep an eye on everyone. This tour was truly one of the best moments of my 8 days stay in Vietnam, and I even found the drive out to be quite fascinating. I’m really happy with this tour company and their fantastic staff.

We booked an 8-day, 7-night tour with Asia Mystika Travel, exploring Ninh Binh, Mua Caves, Sapa, Danang and many hidden gems along the way. Everyone we met—from the organizers to the guides and drivers—was wonderful, but the true highlight of our trip was our main tour support, Arthur. We stayed in touch seamlessly through email and WhatsApp, and he provided a detailed proposal that covered everything we needed. Arthur’s knowledge of Vietnam’s history was impressive, and he was always available whenever we needed him. He kept us entertained with fun facts as we traveled from one destination to the next. Arthur was genuinely caring and made sure we had an amazing time, even taking loads of fantastic photos of my friend and me! Thanks to him, we have unforgettable memories and beautiful photos to cherish from this trip. Thank you, Arthur!

Average we had a good experience.the bad thing was the pick up time in the morning, they had a problem with the bus but they solved it quickly, with good communication and a coffee as a present :) the food in the cruise wasn't good at all, but I think it's not their fault, although I think they have to improve it. Despite of that, the boat was so nice, more luxury than others we saw. They organize the trip with a lot of time, so the last minute problem didn't change the cruise time. Billy, our guide, was such a nice person. Very funny and helpful all the time. He gave us good tips and he tried to move to the places with less tourists, as long as it was possible. Of course, if you go by your own you will have more time for each activity, but for one day is ok. We can recommend it :)

We went on an 11-day trip covering Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, and Halong, and it was fantastic! Anytime we had a question or ran into an issue, we could just reach out to Arthur on WhatsApp, and he handled everything for us. He did an amazing job organizing the entire tour, making sure everything went smoothly, and being incredibly patient with us—especially when we got anxious about things like a driver being 15 minutes late or missing at the airport. Arthur truly made everything easier for us, and his support was invaluable. We would absolutely do this trip again, as long as Arthur is there to guide us!

From the moment we reached out to Billy at Asia Mystika for our one-week tour of Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, and Halong, we knew we were in great hands! We usually travel independently, so this was our first time using a travel company. After a hectic year, we were feeling pretty exhausted, but with Billy’s support, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He took care of everything, from helping with our visas to answering our WhatsApp questions—even down to how much to tip our driver. Billy was always available, day or night, and no matter how many questions we had, he was patient and accommodating. As our tour comes to an end, we can honestly say it’s been one of the best trips we’ve ever had! Thank you, Billy and Asia Mystika! Next up is Laos, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to you again! 🙏🏼

A huge thank you to Mr. Arthur and Asia Mystika for an unforgettable experience! We booked a 7-night, 8-day tour, and every detail was perfectly taken care of. All transfers, including airport pickups and drop-offs, were included, making everything so convenient. Our tour included an incredible overnight stay on a boat in Halong Bay and a memorable homestay and trek in Sapa. The rest of our time was spent exploring Hanoi, where our hotel was lovely and perfectly located in the heart of the old town, close to great restaurants and bars. Everything went off without a hitch—there wasn't a single hiccup throughout the trip. I highly recommend this company for its excellent value and seamless service. Thank you, Asia Mystika, for making our trip so special!

A huge thank you to Mr. Billy, our tour guide Coby, and our driver Viet for making our trip so unforgettable! You all truly made our holiday special. When we first reached out, I shared a few ideas about the places we wanted to visit and the activities we had in mind. Mr. Billy quickly responded with some fantastic suggestions and a draft itinerary that stood out from the 10 or so others we received from other companies. His prompt and thoughtful responses gave me complete confidence that he knew exactly what he was doing. We worked together to fine-tune the details a couple of times before finalizing the tour. Mr. Billy made sure to accommodate all our requests—nothing was too much trouble. We communicated smoothly via email and WhatsApp, and he sent a detailed proposal that covered everything: sites, hotels, homestays, transport, permit fees, and more. I really enjoyed working with Mr. Billy and couldn’t wait for the trip! Our guide, Coby, was a young professional in his 20s, and he couldn’t have been more perfect. He spoke excellent English and shared so much about Vietnam’s history, culture, and everyday life, making every moment interesting. Coby was the ideal host, always making sure our accommodations were comfortable, helping with our bags, translating when needed, and constantly checking in on us. He was also genuinely interested in getting to know us, asking questions without ever being intrusive. Plus, he was a lot of fun—we chatted, laughed, sang, shared stories, and quickly came to see him as a friend. Our driver, Viet, was incredibly friendly and always in good spirits, with a contagious laugh that kept us smiling. He drove with great care, handling even the challenging mountain roads of northern Vietnam with patience and skill. Mr. Billy also suggested a cruise for Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, and we chose the 3-day, 2-night package on the La Regina Legend. It was a fantastic experience with exceptional service, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Once again, thank you to Asia Mystika—Billy, Coby, and the wonderful people of Vietnam—for an amazing and memorable trip. I highly recommend them and wish them all the best!

Billy at Asia Mystika provided the best tour support we’ve ever had. Even though we never met him in person, he was always available via WhatsApp, day or night, to answer any questions we had before and during our trip. He went above and beyond, customizing our trip to fit our needs perfectly—even when we decided last minute to include our son and his girlfriend on a tour! The entire trip was incredibly well-organized, with centrally located and welcoming hotels, reliable pick-ups and drop-offs, and engaging, informative day trips. We appreciated the balance between guided activities and free time, with about half of our days planned and the rest open for us to explore at our own pace. Staying 2-3 days in each hotel gave us the chance to settle in, unpack a bit, and really enjoy our time in each city. Our itinerary included Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, and Ninh Binh, offering a fantastic mix of Vietnam’s vibrant cities and peaceful countryside. Some highlights included an overnight stay on Halong Bay, exploring the ancient Hoa Lu and Trang An Complex, visiting Tu Le village, and wandering through the fascinating streets of Hanoi’s old quarter. Each day trip felt personal, with small group sizes of around a dozen people, making it feel like we were the only ones on the Asia Mystika tour. The tour guides were fantastic, especially Dung (“Kylian”) in Halong Bay. The only regret we had was missing out on exploring Sapa earlier in our trip—we wish we’d arranged a visit closer to the start. But the absolute highlights were Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, and a few wonderful surprises along the way. Huge thanks to Billy for all your dedication, expertise, and hard work!

We had an amazing 8-day customized Vietnam tour with Asia Mystika. Arthur, our guide, helped us plan a fantastic trip that included Hanoi, Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, Halong Bay, and Sapa. At each destination, we had guides ready to take us around, always on time, and share deep insights into the local customs, traditions, and culture. It was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish!

The excursion was an incredible experience with breathtaking views. What truly made the trip special was our interaction with Mai, a local guide from Sapa of the Black Hmong. She was the highlight of our journey, sharing a wealth of information and insights in fluent English, and connecting with us on a personal level. Mai was incredibly patient, giving us plenty of time to rest, even stopping for a break at a cozy café. Though we fell behind schedule as it got dark, Mai went above and beyond by arranging scooter taxis to help us finish the trek—so kind and thoughtful! The trek itself offers both an easier route along the roads and a more challenging one through the rice paddies. It wasn't technically difficult, just a bit slippery and uneven in places. Our group of five, including four middle-aged ladies who don’t hike often, managed just fine with a bit of help and a slower pace. The views were stunningly beautiful—definitely something you have to see for yourself. Our homestay was great. Visiting during the low season in September meant we had the entire building to ourselves, but with many rooms, I imagine it would be quite full and less private during peak season. The host family was very kind, though they didn’t speak English, so our interaction with them was limited, and we ate at our own table. Our guide, Mai, however, joined us for a drink and conversation, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The coach was comfortable, with the option to upgrade for more space and privacy, though our group was perfectly happy with the standard seats. Lunch at the restaurant was hearty, with generous portions. It wasn’t the best meal ever, but it was definitely satisfying. Another standout was the excellent service from Asia Mystika. Arthur, my contact, stayed in touch with me on WhatsApp before, during, and even long after the tour, keeping me updated and checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly. His responsiveness was impressive—he even replied to messages late at night. When one of our group members forgot some souvenirs on the bus, Arthur spent three days tracking them down and eventually found them, holding them at his office for us to pick up in Hanoi. We visited not long after Typhoon Yagi, and while there were many landslides along the way, the views remained stunning, and the locals were cheerful and welcoming. The impact on our trip was minimal. Overall, the service was amazing, and I would definitely recommend Asia Mystika for your tour!

I had a wonderful time soaking in the beauty of nature, and the cruise was truly satisfying. The team aboard La Regina took excellent care of me. My package included kayaking into a cave on the first day and a bit of hiking on the second, which added to the adventure. The suite was well-equipped with everything I needed, and the scenic view from the bath was a lovely bonus. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the trip.

Our family trip to Vietnam was fantastic, thanks to Asia Mystika. Billy, our travel advisor, was remarkable in handling our numerous questions and catering to our group’s specific needs, including dietary preferences. The vehicles provided were excellent, and the guides were personable and efficient. The trip was flawlessly organized, with transparent pricing and high service standards maintained throughout. Billy was always available to address any issues, like arranging vegetarian meals on the cruise. We had a wonderful experience and are eager to recommend Asia Mystika to friends and family.
