Highlight
This is a 6-night, 7-day Vietnam group trip that takes you through five of Vietnam's most iconic destinations — Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, and Ha Long Bay — without making you figure out a single flight, transfer, or hotel on your own. You fly into Ho Chi Minh City. Seven days later you fly home from Hanoi. Everything in between from the internal flights to the Ha Long Bay cruise and the basket boat ride in Hoi An, everything is already planned, already booked, and already waiting for you. This trip is built for people who want to actually experience Vietnam in budget and not spend half of it on booking apps trying to figure out how to get from one city to the next.Itinerary
Upon arrival at the airport, our guide and driver will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in central Ho Chi Minh City in about 20 minutes.

My first international trip could not have gotten any better! Vietnam it was. Such a memorable week of my life! Our trip leader Mr. Shaurya was so friendly. Organising a group of 12 strangers together on foreign grounds is no joke but our guy Mr. Shaurya handled it well for which I am really grateful and truly appreciate every effort. ???? I would love to travel with TTS once again for sure????

We had an amazing Vietnam trip with The Travel Story this May. This was my 2nd trip with TTS. Last year I had visited Kashmir and it was worth every penny. Vietnam itineraries were thoughtfully planned and effortlessly executed. Right from the start of the trip they took care of everything - accommodations, transport, meals, local guide. Accommodations with scenic beachside view, infinity pool and also located in main part of the cities. Transport was hassle free, on time.

The trip to Vietnam was fabulous, and I enjoyed it a lot. The captain Mr.Shaurya was very cool, supportive, and friendly. He gelled well with everyone, actively participated in all the fun activities, and guided us very well throughout the tour, including suggestions about Indian food. Shagufta was also extremely helpful, especially during the initial stage. She assisted us with ticket bookings and provided clear guidance on the itinerary, which made the planning smooth and hassle-free.
