• VISA:

Visa requirements differ depending on your nationality. We strongly recommend verifying the latest entry regulations with official immigration authorities before you travel. Roxy Travel Plan can provide general guidance or advice upon request; however, we cannot take responsibility for visa approvals, rejections, or changes in immigration policies.

• CASH/ATM:

Vietnam remains largely a cash-based destination, especially in local restaurants, markets, and small shops. While credit cards are accepted in larger hotels and some tourist areas, cash is still preferred for everyday transactions. ATMs are widely available in cities and towns, making it easy to withdraw local currency when needed.

• GUIDED TOURS:

Guided tours are typically conducted on a shared basis, meaning other travelers may join the same experience. This allows you to meet other guests and share the activity as part of a small group.

If a private tour is included or available as an upgrade, it will be clearly indicated in your itinerary or can be arranged upon request (subject to availability and additional cost).

• CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Once bookings have been confirmed, all cancellations will follow the terms and conditions of our local suppliers and service providers. Please note that many partners require advance payments to secure availability, and their refund policies may vary. We will always do our best to recover any refundable amounts wherever possible, but some services may be fully non-refundable depending on supplier conditions.

We strongly recommend that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and unexpected changes. This ensures peace of mind and financial protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

You’ll receive a comprehensive Travel Guide Book in PDF format with all your confirmed bookings, key travel information, and a personalized day-by-day itinerary designed specifically for you.

The guide also includes practical tips to help your trip go smoothly, along with must-see locations, local eateries, hand-picked café recommendations we have personally tried and loved.

We will even connect you with reliable local taxi drivers, guides, and companies we have met during our own travels and fully trust.

The best time to visit North Vietnam is from October to April, when the weather is generally cooler, drier, and more comfortable. During these months, skies are clearer, making it ideal for sightseeing, cruises, and outdoor adventures.

From October to December, you’ll enjoy crisp air and beautiful autumn colors in the mountains, while March to April brings mild temperatures and blooming landscapes — perfect for photography and trekking.

The summer months (May to September) are hot, humid, and rainy, especially in July and August when tropical downpours are common. However, the countryside is lush and green, which can be appealing for travelers who don’t mind occasional rain.

SIM cards are available almost everywhere, including directly at the airport upon arrival.

If you prefer not to buy a physical SIM card, I recommend using an eSIM from Airalo you’ll find more detailed information about this option in my Travel Guide Book including a 10% discount on their services.
