Important info

Special notes
  • We always recommend travelling with a backpack and packing light! 10-20kgs of stuff should be plenty. We will be using mainly trains for transport so dragging around a huge suitcase is not much fun. Depending on your onward travel plans there is luggage storage at the airports or at some accommodations if needed.
  • Vietnam generally uses a socket with two flat or round pins, the same as most of Europe. It's always best to grab yourself an appropriate adaptor if needed before you go.
  • Please bring all valuable items with you at all times. Do not leave valuable items on the bus or at the hotel, attraction, or restaurant. Tours4Fun, local operators, drivers, and tour guides are not responsible for any loss or theft at any location.
  • The name on your booking must be exactly the same as the name on your passport. Any discrepancy between the booking information and your passport may result in you not being able to board the flight. In this case, you will need to book a new flight at your own expense.
  • Sapa trek is tough especialy in wet conditions.
