Unlike many other tour operators, we don’t spend the tour trying to sell you upgrades or leaving you hanging around on the street because you can’t afford an unexpected attraction. While we do allow spare time to visit markets or meet the locals all of the entrance fees are covered on tour, so you don’t need to dig into your pocket.
Likewise, we include many meals on tour. With a mix of fusion, street, traditional and western cuisine we don’t just palm you off to the typical tour bus restaurants. We have personally eaten in and hand-picked each delicious dish we offer you. On this tour some meals are not included, giving you time to break off solo or head on an adventure with your group. Alcoholic and soft drinks are excluded at meal times. Water and on most occasions, hot drinks, are included.
How much cash should I bring? With only a couple of meals, your drinks, souvenirs, tips and any extra shopping or personal items you buy to account for, you could likely get by with just a few bills in your pocket but we suggest bringing around $250 AUD cash in hand to be safe and in case of any emergencies. Anything you don’t spend makes an excellent addition to your next travel fund.
Don’t want to spend your trip of a lifetime sharing a room? No worries. We can arrange a private room for you with a single supplement of $245 AUD pp. If you are flying solo but don’t want a private room, we will pair you up with another awesome tour companion and save you from the single supplement extra that many companies force on their travellers.
Flights are not included (with the exception of the domestic flight to Ho Chi Minh), but we are more than happy to help you find the best deal possible. We have some awesome tips here, a list of suggested routes here and one of our travel-loving trip coordinators is always happy to help you dig into the plethora of flight options and find the best one for you and your budget, just tick the ‘Help with Flights’ box when making the booking.
