What is Vietnam Hop & How It Works

An authentic local experience in a safe, flexible and fun way! Read more below about what Vietnam Hop is and how it works!

VN Hop offers 2 distinct travel options:

  1. Our Classic Hop On Hop Off Travel across Vietnam (this is explained in much further detail below)
  2. 1 or 2 Day City Trips - Ideal for those short on time. Click HERE to view our Day Trips

There are a few ways to travel within Vietnam:

  1. Planes (You will miss a LOT of stops not served by Airports, such as Huacachina, Paracas, Puno/Lake Titicaca and more). Note that if you are very short on time, a combination of planes and day trips by bus could work well.
  2. Local Public Buses (no central bus terminal, many companies with poor safety records, lack of helpful staff, no stops between the stops to see the hidden gems)
  3. Guided Tour Company (usually VERY expensive, no flexibility to choose what you want to do and when you want to do it, can’t stay anywhere longer. Fixed, rigid, and expensive)
  4. Vietnam Hop (Safe, Flexible and Fun giving an authentic local experience whilst meeting other like-minded travelers along the way)
