Only the true local can tell you of the deepest secrets of Vietnam that are worth knowing. So of all the travel companies out there, how can you tell that the one presenting to be operated by local Vietnamese is worthy of your business? Here are the telltale signs of a good tour company. Hopefully, these facts would help you choose the right one.

How are the packages organized?

A tour company that truly knows all the places included in the tour packages organized can tell you all about the places. They can guide you through them even with their eyes closed and they know all the local tales and folklore too.

Remember that when you’re travelling, you should not only enjoy the experience physically. Your spirit should too and that can be achieved with the right mix of local folklore and pure, sweaty fun.

Are the texts in the website genuine?

It’s easy to create web content because all you have to do is write. There isn’t any sense of ownership and thus, you create a content that is all too generic. So when you’re looking at the company’s site and you read the content, does it feel like you’re reading it from Wikipedia or like you’re hearing it from someone who has actually been to Vietnam?

A true Vietnam travel guide will not deceive you by letting you read fake content. The quality of the literature should be consistent and love for the country should take charge over branding and advertising.

Are you going to get good value for your money?

In reality, it’s difficult to know the true value of your money if the country you’re visiting is yet unexplored by you. Naturally, you will be enticed by cheap travels but before you jump right in, ask yourself first if it’s going to give you good value for your money. Check out the itinerary provided and try to tally the total costs.

If the hotel where you will be staying is revealed, check if it’s going to be nice and comfortable. Some travel companies usually make cheap synonymous with poor travel experience. So don’t let that one word fool you.

There are several companies competing for your business so don’t be in a hurry and book with the first one you find. You will be travelling to a foreign country and it’s always best that you know that you will be taken cared of once you get there. So check every tour company closely and spend time reading reviews. Soon, you should find the best deal for you.
