Group tours

Wake to the stillness of Halong Bay as limestone peaks rise from the morning mist. Cycle between brilliant green rice fields, taste fragrant Vietnamese cuisine in a hidden Hanoi restaurant and, as evening falls, wander beneath hundreds of glowing lanterns in Hoi An. Vietnam does not simply invite you to see it – it draws you in.

Our Vietnam small group tours are created for travellers who want to experience the country in greater depth and share their discoveries with like-minded people. Travelling in a smaller group creates a more personal atmosphere, while carefully planned itineraries allow you to explore at a comfortable pace.

At Travel Mart TM, we bring together Vietnam’s cultural treasures, remarkable landscapes, regional cuisine and authentic local encounters. However, our aim is not to rush you from one attraction to the next. Instead, we allow enough time to appreciate each destination and enjoy the unexpected moments that often become the most memorable.

As a result, your Vietnam group tour balances culture, nature and meaningful experiences – thoughtfully organised, varied and never unnecessarily rushed.

From Hanoi to Saigon – Vietnam in All Its Diversity

Stretching more than 1,600 kilometres from north to south, Vietnam offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes, traditions, regional cuisines and ways of life.

In the north, your exploration often begins in Hanoi. Temples and colonial architecture stand alongside street kitchens, colourful markets and the fascinating maze of the Old Quarter. Within the first few hours, you begin to feel the unmistakable energy of the Vietnamese capital.

From here, the scenery changes dramatically. Around Ninh Binh, the bustle of the city gives way to a peaceful landscape of rice fields, rivers and limestone formations. For example, you can glide through the countryside in a traditional rowing boat or cycle along quiet lanes, passing small villages and lush green fields.

Another highlight is an overnight cruise through the famous Halong Bay or the quieter Bai Tu Long Bay. Forest-covered karst formations rise dramatically from the water as secluded coves and small islands slowly drift into view. Finally, as evening settles over the bay, you can relax on board and take in the extraordinary surroundings. It is often one of those memories that stays with you long after you return home.

Imperial History and the Lanterns of Hoi An

Central Vietnam reveals two very different worlds.

First, Huế, the former imperial capital, tells the story of the Nguyen Dynasty. Palaces, temples and royal tombs offer fascinating insights into an era that continues to shape the country today.

Then there is Hoi An.

Its historic old town is one of Vietnam’s most atmospheric places. Traditional merchant houses, small boutiques, cafés and workshops line the narrow streets. As evening falls, hundreds of colourful lanterns transform the town into a sea of warm light.

Here, there is every reason to slow down. For example, browse a local market, discover Vietnamese flavours during a cooking class or cycle through the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, find a quiet spot beside the river and simply watch the evening unfold.

Experience Vietnam in a Small Group

Travelling in a small group changes the way you experience a country.

Instead of feeling anonymous within a large tour, you enjoy a more personal atmosphere. In addition, there are more opportunities to speak with your guide, while spontaneous stops are easier to incorporate. At the same time, there is still plenty of room for your own interests.

Take your time at a local market or stop at a small café that catches your eye. Perhaps travel by boat through a peaceful river landscape. And when somewhere truly captures your imagination, stay a little longer and take it all in.

Therefore, our Vietnam small group tours combine the pleasure of travelling together with enough personal freedom to experience the country in your own way.

The Mekong Delta – A World Shaped by Water

In the south, Vietnam reveals yet another side of its character.

Dynamic Ho Chi Minh City brings together history and contemporary life, with traditional markets, modern architecture and a vibrant culinary scene.

From here, continue into the Mekong Delta, where rivers and canals weave through tropical landscapes. Boats have been part of everyday life for generations, while small communities lie among fruit orchards, rice fields and palms.

Meanwhile, boat trips, market visits and encounters with local people offer a closer look at a region whose traditions and daily rhythms remain closely connected to the water.

These contrasts make a tour through Vietnam so compelling: energetic cities and tranquil countryside, centuries-old temples and contemporary life, mountains, rivers and tropical coastlines.

More Than Sightseeing

The most memorable moments are not always found at famous landmarks.

Sometimes it is the scent of fresh herbs at a morning market. Perhaps it is a bowl of pho in a small local restaurant or an early boat ride while the waterways are still quiet. At other times, it may be an unexpected conversation with someone you meet along the way.

That is why we complement celebrated sights with carefully chosen local encounters and glimpses into everyday life. At the same time, there is enough space to appreciate these moments without constantly watching the clock.

With experienced English-speaking guides and knowledgeable local specialists, you gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history, religions and traditions. In addition, you discover more about the country as it is today and the people who call it home.

You do not simply visit Vietnam. Instead, you come closer to it.

Vietnam Small Group Tours with a Beach Stay

After days filled with new impressions, slowing down for a while can feel just right.

Vietnam’s long coastline offers beautiful beaches and carefully selected resorts. Depending on the season and itinerary, you can add a relaxing stay around Hoi An and Da Nang or on the tropical island of Phu Quoc.

Finally, after temples, cities, markets and changing landscapes, everything becomes quiet.

No early starts. No fixed programme. Just the sea, sunshine and time to unwind.

Combine Vietnam with Cambodia or Laos

If you would like to discover more of Southeast Asia, Vietnam combines beautifully with Cambodia or Laos.

In Cambodia, the legendary temples of Angkor open the door to another extraordinary civilisation. Meanwhile, Laos offers a fascinating contrast with its Buddhist traditions, tropical scenery and wonderfully unhurried atmosphere.

However, exploring several countries does not mean your holiday needs to become a race from one destination to the next. With thoughtful planning, there is enough time to appreciate each place and its individual character.

As a result, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos can be combined into one beautifully balanced Southeast Asian journey.
