From the very beginning, she provided perfect service and organized everything exceptionally well. The itinerary was excellent — a very well-balanced combination of beaches, cities, countryside, culture, sightseeing and relaxation.

How many days do I need in central Vietnam?

Four to five days covers Hoi An, Da Nang and a day in Hue. Six days lets you add My Son or stay a night in Hue; eight to ten days allows a beach stay or the caves of Phong Nha.

For the caves, see our private Phong Nha and Quang Binh tours, which fit between Hue and Hanoi on a longer trip.

How much does a private central Vietnam tour cost?

About US$700 per person for 5 days (Hoi An, Da Nang, Ba Na Hills and Hue) for two travellers at Comfort 4★, at US$140 per person per day. Published tours start from US$466 for 3 days in Hoi An and US$840 for 6 days including My Son and Hue.

When is the best time to visit Hoi An and Hue?

February to August is dry and sunny, with the hottest weeks in June and July. September to December is the rainy season, with a risk of storms and flooding from October to November; we keep plans flexible and move outdoor visits when needed.

Should I stay in Hoi An or Da Nang?

Hoi An for the old town, tailors, lanterns and countryside; Da Nang for a city beach and quick access to the airport. Many travellers stay in Hoi An and visit Da Nang and Ba Na Hills on a day trip.

Is the Hai Van Pass worth it?

Yes. The road between Da Nang and Hue climbs over the Hai Van Pass with views of the coast and Lang Co lagoon. With a private driver you can stop at the top and at Lang Co beach; the drive takes about three hours with stops.
