Great video! I am a Canadian school teacher and lived (and taught) in Vietnam for a few years (Hanoi and Da Nang). I intend to retire to Vietnam but haven't decided exactly where yet - most likely Danang or Hoi An. The weather and scenery are fantastic and the people are wonderful. The food is great and the beaches are world-class. I've lived in eight countries including Mexico, Jordan, China, Malaysia, and the Dominican Republic, Vietnam beats them all in EVERY category, including cost of living and ease of travel. Great job, Tim and Fin ! Anyone considering a vacation in Mexico or Hawaii should definitely check out Vietnam first.

Thanks Merritt, best reviews, May you get what you wished.

[@Mr.DJones]

Hello Merritt. I am going to VN in November 2024, will stay three months hopefully, and decide if I want to retire. It's been a year now for your post. Could you please offer any information on how it has worked out, visa issues, etc. Thank you for your time. David Jones... I'll be on decent social security and VA disability benefits. :)

[@BảoPhongLê-y3r]

No Vietnam itinerary is complete without experiencing the warm hospitality of the locals. During my visit to Hoi An Memories Land, I was touched by the genuine friendliness of the staff and locals, adding a special touch to my trip.

[@DanaKowalsky]

Thank you for being so real/honest in this video, very helpful

[@ericsonbongo8180]

I'm from Philippines thanks for your travel video, I love Vietnam and the people there are very nice 🙂 hope I can visit Vietnam again.

[@nhasachduchanh]

Hello ! I'm Ivan from Hanoi. Thank you for sharing the video. It's so proud that someone from another country can love our country so much.

[@freeman-1776]

Just came back from Phu quoc this holiday week. Phu Quoc is very much cleaner now. I didn't see any jelly fish at all. It is now September 2022. During the Covid lockdowns, the Vietnamese people were not lazy but very active in preparing for the after covid tourism restart. There was some trash in the waters but it was fairly light as I did see people cleaning the areas in front of the beachside hotels daily. The small islands were especially clean. It was one of the best trips I have ever taken.

[@giangphamtranhuong]

jelly fish appears only about 2 weeks a year, if you are really unlucky then you go there right the jelly fish season. I was one of those unlucky ones. I got stunk a lot but it was funny (even really painful).

[@jennyvu7752]

Which side of PQ beach did you stay may I ask? I’m heading there in early Dec and still not sure where to stay. I got free nights at Regent but I heard the beach is not clean? Tks

[@backpackingislife]

I'd say Huế is so underrated!! The food scene there is incredible there, and the region around the city is gorgeous mountains and not touristy at all! But I'll keep saying that the most amazing place in Vietnam is Hà Giang!!! There's nothing like it up there!

[@timandfin]

hah we must have had some bad luck in Hue with food. I didn't mention in the video but I was almost in tears over one cold meal with so much fish sauce and vinegar I almost passed out but ate it because we were the only people in the small restaurant and the women kept coming over to see how we were doing 😂 still to this day the worst thing I've ever eaten! haha

[@backpackingislife]

TIM and FIN That sounds terrible! Must’ve had bad luck because Hue is known for it’s amazing food especially Bún bò Huế, which is a more spicy, flavorful and delicious noodle soup dish that’s arguably even better than Phở!

[@SiqFix]

I have been to Vietnam since 2015-2022 around 7 trips. I probably spent 5 months there in total duration. But it felt like you guys lived there watching your videos lol. I will be going to Vietnam tomorrow can’t wait.

[@lamnguyens1987]

As a vietnamese myself, I'm happy to see this video. Looks great!

[@timandfin]

Thank you!

[@flaviosanguigni8783]

So far the best all around tip guide for somebody that is organising a trip in the country. Thank You!! Keep rocking.

[@timandfin]

This means so much, THANK YOU!

[@billbradley8640]

Hi guys, Love your videos on Vietnam North to South. My wife and I, we are in our late fifties early sixties, are travelling to Vietnam for the first time, after holidaying in Koh Samui Thailand for the past 9 years, in early June for 20 days, staying in Hanoi for a total of 4 nights then heading to Hoi An for a total of 15 nights. We have confirmed our stay in Hanoi, in between we are doing a 1 night, 2 day cruise to Bai Tu long bay, before heading to Hoi An. Since watching this video we have decided to split our stay in Hoi An into 5 nights in the old town area before our confirmed stay at the Sunrise Resort for our last 10 nights. There are many places to see and do and thanks to your video we are able to confirm things and places we had in mind to do and see to things and places we will be going to see and do. Again many thanks for the insight to Vietnam and keep up the good work.

[@timandfin]

Great to hear! The My Son ruins are a great day trip from Hoi An ☺️

[@michaelrichie5]

Right on! Two night stays everywhere, or several days from someone who left America 28 years ago.

[@albertoadami3595]

Best itinerary video find out for the vietnam, thank you!

[@TheWanderingCouplePlus1]

We miss Vietnam. We only visited HCM, Mui Ne and Nha Trang when we were there a year ago. Would love to be back soon.

[@timandfin]

Time to explore more :)

[@shirleylessard717]

By far the best video I've seen to help plan a trip to Vietnam!!! Absolutely priceless! Thanks so much! :)

[@Viking2705]

Great info thank you. In my experience on Phu Quoc it was either 5 star resort areas with nice beaches or 1 star poor local areas. I was missing the clean and fun in between 3 star areas with good food and bars wo paying 5*

[@sutannguyen8599]

Very nice Videos..Very good information for about Vietnam Thanks Tim & Fin..

[@plm8550]

Thanks, I'm going to Vietnam for my first time from Thailand next week & this was very helpful.

[@nikkib67]

Thank you for a great video on Vietnam and enjoyed your 2 week Itinerary one also. This video helped me confirm places i have on my list for my Vietnam trip next year or so. Plus helped me add & maybe subtract a place or two. Appreciate the specifics & honst opinions vs just fluff & pretty pictures. Very helpful. Now just need to decide what time of year as going north to south then on to Cambodia. Great job!! 🎉

[@rageeth]

For the Ha long Bay cruise. The best option is to take the tour from Cat Ba island. They go to the less touristy side , also Cat Ba island is really cool.

[@dylanlandis493]

Awesome video thank you for sharing

[@HenryWrideExplores]

I went to Hanoi for 2 days and ended up staying for two weeks! Such a great city!

[@anar.6388]

This will make plan to visit Vietnam so much easier. Thanks for the great video!

[@capailldubh]

We did Hanoi to Sapa by sleeper bus last week. The one up there was a Hyundai and for me at 1.85mtrs was a little cramped. On the way back we were in a Thaco bus. It had way more room. It was orgasmic sliding into the berth after our 12 kilometre hill trek through the villages. Didn't do the train but glad we took the sleeper bus. You get to see all the changing scenery on the way. It's only six hours inc stops. Did all of Phu Quoc by scoot the last couple of days. Highly recommended. Driving not as bad as it looks. Everyone gives way. Go easy..

[@timandfin]

Oh wow 6 hours is quicker than I thought! I bet that was nice to watch out the window after a long trek!

[@mcacs62]

Thank you Tim and Fin! Definitely "Nam just moved up to the top of my bucket list ! Thanks for sharing Love from Texas

[@timandfin]

Rock on!

[@altonwren7890]

Tim &fin very informative when you first mentioned Russian tourist being in that part of Vietnam it surprised me and then I realized how close Russia really is to Vietnam another great video guys thank you

[@brendanleenders61]

Just booked a 3 week trip in October. Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Da Nang/Hoi An - Phu Quoc - HCMC

[@nettnett660]

I am glad I stumbled apon your video. We are travelling to Vietnam in October 2022 and concentrating on the north. We will fly into Da Nang and start our journey in Hoi an . I backpacked through Vietnam way back in 1996 and I remember not really enjoying Hue so I am glad you mentioned skipping it. It was the only place that I experienced inappropriate touching. A young man tapped me on the boob as he rode by. No big deal.

[@Mrgreenfibre]

I used your vlog as a reference to plan my trip recently . Thank you first of all. I visited Sapa even though you weren't very positive about it and I would recommend others to visit it too. The place is really nice and Fansipan is just out of the world.

[@christelfabiani2738]

Merci pour votre vidéo. Je pars en mai 2023 et vos conseils seront précieux :)

[@Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. I want to stay for 3 months (depending on the visa, I've heard there is a new 90-day visa (2024) and if it works out, retire there. We'll see.

[@haihoang7185]

Great to hear!

[@w_w_whitey]

Excellently video! Looking forward to our first trip in February. Hanoi, Lan Ha Bay, Ninh Binh, Hoi An, Saigon (2 weeks).

[@timandfin]

Sounds like a great itinerary! 👍

[@bamboo9666]

Yeah not many people know about Lan Ha bay, its like mini version of Ha long bay and much less tourist

[@aubreyfreeman7870]

I loved it! It so amazing and stressful to see the all places in Vietnam . Thank you for sharing this video.

[@SunlightMaggot101]

I think my description of Da Nang would clear a lot of confusion between different vlogs regarding the city: it's a travelling hub of the central region. Love your thought on "the hand", yeah it's a...hand, indeed.

[@aw-de-cn]

I literally printed a map a Vietnam Map today to make own plan - - and here comes this video. Good Job

I went to Kep, Cambodia directly opposite pho quoc last year. The amount of plastic in the water was unbelievable. it was like a pea soup of plastic. You could see the island of Phoc quoc from there. So I have doubts.

this is the video I needed. Thank you for your honesty and breaking it down so well!

I'm so glad to hear this helped!

Love Hoi An, I got stuck in An Bang Beach 🤦‍♀️😂 got out to Laos & then went back to do the rest of Vietnam.

For sand dunes and off the beaten path beaches you should check out Qui Nhơn

[@emeafter5list1]

Like your videos...always full of amazing images. Also like the fact that the information is real (good or bad) with no additional unnecessary fluff. Been to those destinations years ago...going back this year 2020. Thank you TIM & FIN.

[@wittleMermaid13]

Thank you! Add this video to the short list of "honest" travel vloggers I will follow about VN. Hope you get down to the Mekong Delta. It's one of those places where I see mixed reviews so not sure if I'll do it. Seems like there's Instagram vs Reality discrepancies apparently. So need more honest travelers to review it before I make a decision.

[@timandfin]

We're so flattered, thanks!

[@AY-uf4oz]

Loved Vietnam, was there about 5 years ago. But have to disagree on a few things. I found the Hue Citadel fantastic. I had the opposite problem though, it was so hot, even in March, hotter than HCM. You should give it another try if you're back. Also I did meet some Russians in Nha Trang, they spoke English, nobody approached me there in Russian. I did like the city. Thanks for the video.

[@dragondada]

I actually loved DaNang, but I can see how it could be considered a bit "mild" in comparison to some of the other locations. My wife is from HCMC. We met in the Florida Keys (where we live now) & we're expecting our first child any day....like, maybe tonight! We're moving back to HCMC in the fall. Your videos have given me a good understanding of what to expect when getting around the country & lots of ideas of where I'd like to take the family. So....Thank you for all the info & inspiration!!

[@timandfin]

Congrats on the new addition to the family! Our time in DaNang was sitting around in winter waiting for a visa renewal so we are likely biased! Would love to go back to enjoy the beach ☺️

[@derekroper3168]

Thanks for another great video Tim and Fin! My wife and I don’t travel full time but we do travel a lot and Vietnam is high on our list. Would you say Vietnam is good for someone with mobility limitations? I have a bad knee and although I’m fine walking long distances, I don’t do well with big hills or huge amount of stairs (Some stairs are okay). But you two have definitely inspired us to go there! What do you think?

[@timandfin]

I'd say it all depends on making informed decisions on what sights to see. With the Grab app (like uber) it is very easy to navigate the cities because you can get picked up right at your door! We love Agoda app for booking hotels and on there you could add a note to request a low floor of a hotel if there is no elevator.

[@derekroper3168]

Great! Thanks for the tips!
