What people love about Thailand and Vietnam Tours for Seniors
- 21 Days Across Southeast Asia
21 Days Thailand Laos Vietnam Cambodia We had a great time on this tour! My husband and I had wanted to go to South East Asia for some time, and we were looking for a trip that would give us a realistic overview in the month we had available. We knew we wanted to get to Thailand (my favorite cuisine), Vietnam (lots of history and, again, the food), and Cambodia (Angor Wat), and thought, why not throw in Laos? This itinerary looked really ambitious but like it had a good balance of travel, activity, and leisure. Hoi An Adventures is a Vietnamese company, so we weren’t surprised that Vietnam got a disproportionate focus to the other countries. What we loved: Our gut instinct about the itinerary was spot on. Yes, we covered a lot of ground. I hadn’t quite realized just how many flights we’d take, but with one overnight train trip and five flights, we were able to see some amazing parts of each of the four countries. It’s hard picking highlights, as there were so many. Certainly, Halong Bay and Hoi An. The unexpected jewel of the trip was Luang Prabang, Laos, a town I’d never even heard of before this trip. Thanks for including it and for allowing us four nights there and free time just to wander its magical streets! There were, of course, lots of places we’d have liked to get that we didn’t have a chance to. But if/when we’re back, we’ll have a pretty good idea of where we want to go and how to get there. We also applaud the hotel choices. In each city except Chiang Mai, we were right in the heart of the town. The Chiang Mai hotel wasn’t bad, but quite possibly because we were further away from the activity, that was our least favorite stop. (It also made us more appreciative of all the others being actually in the towns.) The hotels themselves ranged from perfectly adequate (the Ho Chi Minh City hotel was one of only two “deluxe” hotels, and it was the least impressive) to rustically charming (the Luang Prabang guesthouse, Lao Wooden House, which we loved) to old world elegance (Siem Reap, City View). What we liked: the excursions were all pretty good. The guides English varied significantly. All were able to speak well enough to convey information, and some were able to understand it well enough to answer questions. All seemed passionate about their subject matter. Favorite guides included River in Hoi An and Top in Ho Chi Minh City, but we learned from all of them. We particularly appreciated the tour through a local market in Luang Prabang and the temples off the beaten track in Angor Wat. The tailored garment in Hoi An was a terrific souvenir. We liked the ratio of time committed to excursions and free time—though we had a travel companion who was unhappy the time wasn’t more scheduled, so opinions can vary on that. Being dropped off and picked up from all transportation hubs made traveling really easy. It’s the first time we’ve had that benefit, and it made us converts. What we liked less: Not Hoi An Tours’ fault, but my husband and I wound up traveling with one other person throughout our trip. That enforced intimacy can be a bit awkward. More people on the tour would have given each of the three of us more opportunities to find people who meshed with us and shared our interests. In some cities we paired up with other small groups, which was nice and gave us a bigger pool of new acquaintances to share the experience with. In the past we’ve been on trips with 10 or so other people, and sharing new experiences with them has been one of the benefits of travel. It’s luck of the draw, as the tour will go on with a minimum of two people. If you sign up, maybe you can get some friends or family to go with you! Communication hit some snags here and there. We made our initial reservation through Tour Radar, and all the communications that went on through that portal were fine. Unfortunately, someone in the Hoi An Tours office entered my email address incorrectly, and we had trouble getting some messages, not knowing we were missing them. They absolutely tried! They gave us a mobile phone, presumably so we could contact them easily. And any time we contacted them through the working email portal, they got back to us quickly. There were some variances between the itinerary we did finally receive and what actually occurred. For example, we were told we’d be on an upgraded boat on Halong Bay, but when we got there, we weren’t. So the stated features and activities didn’t jibe with what we actually received. Our itinerary also had some differing times and activities from the one our traveling companion had, which led to some confusion. Overall, this was a great trip and we would recommend it highly! We’ll relive the vibrant traffic of Bangkok, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City and treasure our memories of the Mekong River and Delta, the floating lanterns of Hoi An, the charming back streets of Luang Prabang, and the warmth and welcome of Siem Reap. Can’t wait to plan our next trip.
- Essential Vietnam & Cambodia
A brilliant tour through two countries that both challenge and continuously amaze. The tour was made all the better by Cheaks unending enthusiasm and professionalism, making the hard things easy and bringing a delightful sense of humour to the task. NB there is a negative review from another member of our tour - this reflects her view as one of the most self centred and narcissistic people I have ever met. Please read further reviews which are overwhelmingly positive not just of the tour we shared but previous tours - and then you decide ....

l would recommend the 22 day journey to anyone. lt was brilliant!
What our customers ask about Thailand and Vietnam Tours for Seniors
What type of accommodation can seniors expect in Thailand and Vietnam?
Most senior-focused tours provide stays in 3-5 star hotels equipped with elevators and familiar western amenities. In Hanoi the 4-star Tirant Hotel offers well-appointed rooms with modern facilities. Bangkok's Amari Watergate stands out for its central location and senior-friendly facilities. A TourRadar traveler recently shared "The hotels were all centrally located with good facilities for seniors - the Apricot Hotel in Hanoi was particularly comfortable."
What medical facilities are available during Thailand and Vietnam tours?
Bangkok Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have modern international hospitals where medical staff speak English. Tour companies like Realistic Asia work directly with local medical facilities to ensure quick access when needed. Medical staff are also present on Halong Bay cruise ships. Still travel insurance is essential for seniors visiting Southeast Asia.
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit Thailand and Vietnam?
Plan your visit between November and March when the weather is mild with lower humidity levels. Hanoi's temperatures stay comfortable at 20-25°C (68-77°F) during this period. Tour booking data shows most seniors choose to travel from November through February. A recent TourRadar review states "The weather in December was perfect - not too hot for sightseeing and exploring."
Do the tours allow enough free time and rest periods?
Tour schedules mix guided activities with downtime for independent exploration or rest. In Hoi An travelers often get free afternoons to relax at their hotel or the beach. Places like the Kata Sea Breeze Resort in Phuket let guests unwind at their own pace. One TourRadar reviewer noted "The pace was perfect - enough activities but also time to rest and explore on our own."
