Top 20 deal - sells out quickly!

With most tour packages to Vietnam costing upward of $2000, this six-night vacation recently released by Friendly Planet for $1199 per person is a hot deal. This special package includes round-trip airfare, upscale hotels in both Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Hanoi, daily breakfast and guided tours. Hanoi was recently ranked No. 7 on Frommer's Top Destinations of 2010 list.

Airfare alone costs about $1000 -- a little less than the entire cost of this package. The $1199 package departs May 18 and Sept. 1. For $100 more, depart April 13, May 2, Oct. 6 and Nov. 17. Other travel dates are also available for slightly more.

The Taste of Vietnam package includes:

Roundtrip flights from Los Angeles via China Airlines

All intra-Vietnam flights, transfers and ground transportation

Three nights at the Saigon Equatorial Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Three nights at the 4-star Nikko Hotel in Hanoi

Buffet breakfast daily

Comprehensive guided city tour in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

Optional Bangkok, Thailand extension: Three nights at the 5-star Dusit Thani Hotel, including transfers and breakfast, for $399 more

See why Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia's hottest new destinations. The six-night escorted tour takes visitors to Vietnam's two most important cities. This special also offers optional tours to the Mekong Delta, a unique overnight cruise on the legendary Halong Bay aboard the Emeraude and more. See Friendly Planet's site for details.

Book by Feb. 26. Click here to learn more about the package and to reserve online, or call Friendly Planet directly at 800-555-5765. Taxes are an additional $120.00. Note: This special is listed as an eight-day package on the booking site but two of those nights are spent traveling.

This is a good deal if you live near Los Angeles. The only problem is that it is only six days. It takes one day to get to Vietnam. Personally, I would stay longer than six days.

I would stay longer too (at least a month!)..but this could be an option for those first time travellers or those just wanting an experience! :)

No family & friends...no reason to stay longer than 6-7 days...

My last trip in August/September 2009, I spent about 600 USD travelling all over VN (SGN-->HAN-->Ha Long Bay--> Da Nang/Hue/Hoi An-->SGN)--this includes travel, hotel & food for two weeks... :oD

I had gone to Da Lat and Nha Trang and Vung Tau so I skipped that coming back...

My next trip will be to South Vietnam & the islands...and maybe adventure off to other asian countries! :)
