Vietnam Group Tour Packages

Reviewed by Thrillophilia Operations team

Updated as of May, 2026

Rated 4.8 from 2,143 Vietnam group tour reviews across 70+ countries, Vietnam group tours by Thrillophilia start from INR 23,950 per person for 4 to 15 days. Popular routes cover Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, either as regional circuits or a full north-to-south trip.

Many travellers planning a Vietnam group tour focus on cities first, but the route format affects the final experience more. A north-only route, a central circuit, and a full-country itinerary differ significantly in pace, number of transfers, and the kind of experience a group actually has on the ground.

From working with over 15 Vietnam group tour packages across different group types, we have observed that route fit is more important than destination count. Groups travelling with an itinerary suited to their pace and group size rate their trips higher than those who packed too many cities into too few nights. This is something we keep in mind when building every Vietnam group package.

Our Vietnam packages include twin-sharing stays, airport transfers, guided sightseeing, and daily breakfast. Inclusions are confirmed at the time of booking, so the group knows what to expect before the trip begins.

Who These Vietnam Group Trips Are Best For

Vietnam works well for different types of groups, but not every route suits every traveller:

• Friend groups tend to get more out of Vietnam. Street food, night markets, Halong Bay cruises, and varied activity levels suit groups with flexible interests.
• Small private groups do well with a focused 6 or 7-night itinerary around one region. Fixed-departure travellers fit well when they are comfortable with twin sharing and a fixed daily schedule.
• Family groups need fewer back-to-back transfers. A south-led or central itinerary works better than a full-country loop for families with children or older members.
• Corporate groups do better on shorter central or south-led routes where logistics are tidier.
• Luxury slow-travel groups are only a partial fit unless the route is trimmed and upgraded to a smaller-group style.

If your group wants a well-paced multi-experience trip, Vietnam works very well. If your group wants a slow beach holiday with minimal movement, a full Vietnam route may feel too transfer-heavy.

Best Vietnam Route Shapes for Group Travel

It’s important to decide the route format for a Vietnam group trip. Here are some suggested routes:

• North Vietnam route runs through Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Ninh Binh. It suits first-time groups who want culture, street food, and a cruise in one compact plan. Sapa can be added for trekking interest, but it adds significant travel time each way. It is typically a 4.5 to 5-hour bus or overnight train from Hanoi in each direction.
• Central Vietnam route covers Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue. It suits groups who want easier pacing with good visual payoffs. Internal movement is mostly by road.
• South Vietnam route runs through Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. It suits shorter trips without internal flights. Five to six nights cover it well.
• Full Vietnam routes work best when the group has enough time for domestic flights and regional transfers.

How to Reach Vietnam

Vietnam's three main international gateways Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang connect well to India through direct flights.

Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is 25 km north of the city centre. Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) sits 7 km from the city centre. Da Nang International Airport (DAD) is just 2 km from the city.

If travelling in 2026, major airlines include IndiGo, Air India, VietJet Air, and Vietnam Airlines. Direct and connecting routes are available from major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Kochi, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad, with common layovers through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.

• Delhi to Hanoi: 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours, INR 10,000 to INR 18,000 one-way
• Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City: 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes, INR 11,000 to INR 19,000 one-way
• Mumbai to Hanoi: 5 hours 30 minutes (direct/1 stop), INR 12,000 to INR 22,000 one-way
• Bengaluru to Ho Chi Minh City: 4 hours 45 minutes (direct), INR 10,500 to INR 20,000 one-way
• Kolkata to Hanoi: 2 hours 30 minutes (direct), INR 9,500 to INR 17,000 one-way

Thrillophilia Insight: Airport transfers are a default inclusion in Vietnam group packages. For groups, it is better to arrive within a similar time window so hotel check-in and transfers can be coordinated smoothly.

Pro Tip: Direct flights save time, but land you directly in peak traffic hours. Consider a morning arrival for Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City to avoid afternoon congestion at immigration.

Vietnam E-Visa and Entry Notes for Indian Travellers

2. Upload passport data page scan, 4x6 cm photo (white background, JPEG).
3. Enter confirmed flight/hotel details.
4. Pay USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple), approx. INR 2,100-4,200.

Top Vietnam Group Tour Itineraries by Duration

These are some of the most practical Vietnam group tour formats listed on Thrillophilia. Each route works for a different group type, depending on how much time the group has and how many transfers they are comfortable with.

5-Day North Vietnam Group Tour

Package reference: Escape to Vietnam with Boat Ride to Tam Coc Caves

Rated: 4.8 from 509 reviews

Duration: 5 days and 4 nights

Price: INR 38,990 per person

Covers: Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Hanoi

This route works for first-time groups that want a compact Vietnam plan with Hanoi city experiences, Halong Bay scenery, and a manageable travel pace.

7-Day Vietnam Group Tour

Package reference: Escape to Vietnam | FREE Halong Bay Cruise Excursion

Rated: 4.7 from 645 reviews

Duration: 7 days and 6 nights

Price: INR 58,770 per person

Covers: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Da Nang, and Hoi An

This 7D/6N North Vietnam tour suits friend groups and first-time travellers who want a balanced mix of city walks, cruise experiences, central Vietnam sightseeing, and cultural evenings.

15-Day Vietnam and Cambodia Group Tour

Package reference: Best of Vietnam and Cambodia in 15 Days

Rated: 4.6 from 210 reviews

Duration: 15 days and 14 nights

Price: INR 1,60,000 per person

Covers: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City, and Siem Reap

This route works best for groups that want a longer multi-country journey. It needs more budget and more transfer comfort, but it gives wider coverage across Vietnam and Cambodia.

Thrillophilia Insight: Shorter 5 to 7-day itineraries are better for groups that want focused Vietnam coverage. A 15-day route is better when the group wants a wider Vietnam-Cambodia experience and has enough time for internal movement.

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Moushmi Paul, who booked Escape to Vietnam with Boat Ride to Tam Coc Caves, shared that the itinerary was customised to her needs, with leisure time to explore the city and try Vietnamese coffee. She also mentioned smooth communication from the guides and good food inclusions during the trip.

Best Time to Visit Vietnam for a Group Trip

Vietnam’s north, central, and south follow different weather patterns. For a group, poor weather affects transfers, walking tours, coach days, and shared sightseeing.

March to April suits mixed-route group trips. The weather is pleasant across most of the country. Central and south Vietnam run 22 to 30 degrees Celsius. Hanoi in early March can dip to 16 to 18 degrees, so pack a light layer for north-led routes.

September to November is the second reliable window. Northern Vietnam gets golden rice terraces and settled trekking conditions. The Hoi An Lantern Festival in October suits group experiences well.

May to August works for coastal groups heading to Phu Quoc or Nha Trang, but heat and humidity make long coach days harder. Prices drop in this period.

December to February splits by region. The south stays warm and dry. The north turns cold, especially in Sapa. Central Vietnam sees its heaviest rain in November and December.

Best Places to Visit and Tourist Attractions for a Vietnam Group Tour

Vietnam group tours typically follow one of three route formats - north, central, or south with leisure add-ons only when the itinerary has spare nights. Vietnam welcomed nearly 2.5 million international visitors in January 2026 alone, marking an 18.5% year-on-year increase

1. Hanoi

Hanoi anchors every north Vietnam trip. Old Quarter street food buzzes day and night. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum draws history buffs. Hoan Kiem Lake hosts morning tai chi. Temple of Literature offers quiet gardens.

Group Travel Logistics: Rooms, Internal Flights and Pace

Group travellers skip this section during planning and only notice it during the trip.

• Room sharing: Two travellers share one room. Solo travellers either pair with another solo joiner or pay a single supplement. Ask for the exact supplement amount before confirming.
• Internal flights and baggage: Internal flights within Vietnam are short, typically 1 to 1.5 hours. Baggage rules differ by carrier and fare class. Budget carriers like VietJet default to 7 kg cabin only on base fares, while checked baggage must be added separately. Vietnam Airlines domestic economy typically includes 23 kg checked. Groups should confirm their carrier and fare class before arriving at the airport.
• Daily pace: Early morning departures appear regularly on multi-city routes. Coach travel, walking tours, and airport transfers can feel tiring for mixed-age groups.
• Shared vs private group: A small private-group format gives better control over daily timing and pace. It costs more but suits family groups or mixed-age groups better than a large shared departure.

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Gaurav Bhatia, who travelled from Jaipur on Vietnam Odyssey | A Tale of Majestic Bays and Tropical Shores, said the 8-day trip covering Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Hoi An was well planned and good value for money. He also highlighted the hotels, team response, and the pace of the itinerary.

Common Planning Mistakes Groups Make

These mistakes come up often enough to be worth naming directly:

1. Cramming too many cities into too few nights. The cities stack up but the experience disappears.
2. Booking a shared format without checking rooming terms leads to surprises on arrival.
3. Choosing a route with too many coach days for seniors or children affects everyone in the group.
4. Comparing land-only prices with flight-inclusive quotes from another operator leads to budget miscalculations.
5. Assuming every Vietnamese city suits every group type leads to itinerary mismatch.
6. Underestimating the travel overhead that Sapa adds to any route.
7. Adding Phu Quoc to a fast-moving multi-city route without enough buffer.
8. Overlooking internal-flight baggage limits causes problems at check-in.
9. Using outdated visa guidance instead of the official e-visa portal.
