Don’t rush to choose a cheap tour
Tour price is a very important factor for tourists to choose to buy a tour, so travel companies always have to compete with each other to offer the best price. For example you want to go Thailand touryou can find many travel companies offering this tour at different prices, ranging from 5.5 million to more than 10 million, some companies offer prices of less than 3 million VND. . Why is there this significant difference?
– Time: Holidays September 2, April 30 – May 1… or tourist peak season (June – August), the tour will have a higher price despite the entertainment program and attractions no difference.
– Tour program: On cheap tours, some attractions may be reduced or you have to go to many shopping stores arranged by the travel company. Visitors must pay for 1-2 meals or more during the trip.

Flight time is very important
Many tourists choose to buy a tour just to get the number of tour days such as 6 days 5 nights, 3 days 2 nights but forget when to board the plane. It’s a 5-day, 4-night trip, but it will be disastrous if you fly in late at night and fly back early in the morning because you’ll almost waste 2 days on the tour.
Read the takeoff and landing times carefully to estimate the actual time you have on your trip. Arriving early in the morning and flying back in the evening gives you more time to rest and visit.
Find out about travel distance between attractions and waiting time
On short tours, tourists often only get to “ride horses to see flowers” to glimpse the destinations, so don’t be too greedy and choose tours to many locations or tours that go through many countries because it will take a lot of time to travel. transfers, queuing time to complete immigration procedures from one country to another, queuing to board the train/cable car… When going on a tour, you have to wait for the whole group of about 20 – 30 people to be present before you can continue, so it takes a while. The waiting time is a lot, sometimes up to 3-4 hours and it’s still not done. If you go on weekends, local people also want to travel and have fun, so the queuing time is even more terrible.
Travel distance between attractions is also important to consider. Because traveling in the car too much and continuously can make the elderly and children in the family tired, affecting the quality of the trip. For example, go Phoenix ancient town tour – Truong Gia Gioi 6 days and 5 nights by road, you spent 2 whole days sitting in the car to go round trip Hanoi – Truong Gia Gioi, from Truong Gia Gioi to other tourist attractions is also very long so you almost have to sit in the car all the time. all day. Going on a tour that involves a lot of travel requires tourists to be in good health and not motion sick, so you should do your research before arranging to go with your family.
Ask about the tour guide

Usually when traveling abroad, there will be a tour guide accompanying the group throughout the trip. This tour guide will fly with the group from Vietnam and closely follow until returning home. This person’s main task is to Manage numbers, carry out procedures… for delegation members. In the country you visit, there will be 1-2 more tour guides (this person can be a native or a Vietnamese living/studying in this country) with the group. These are the tour guides. Present and share about the destination. It would be a disaster if this tour guide did not have good speaking skills, or worst if it was a native who only knew a few sentences of Vietnamese and just followed the group for the sake of it. Your entire trip abroad will be very boring if the tour guide only briefly talks about the destination and doesn’t know how to communicate with the group members.
Going to Malaysia, China or other countries where there are still few Vietnamese residents, the possibility of you encountering a tour guide who does not know Vietnamese is very high. Please ask clearly about the local tour guide when you decide to go on a foreign tour to make sure you do not encounter the above situation.
