Practical Travel Tips for Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Currency Exchange for Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Vietnamese Dong (​VND) is the only official currency in Vietnam, but some places accept USD, however, it is advisable to withdraw money and get used to the local currency for shopping, dining, and transport. In the city center, you can change your Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) into VND at the airport, large hotel chains, and money exchange centers. ATMs can also be found all over, but markets and street vendors prefer cash.

Best Time to Enjoy Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Vietnam is subject year-round to tropical temperatures, but the peak period for Ho Chi Minh City tours is during the dry season, which lasts from December through April. During the dry season, which would be from November to the end of April of the following year, the weather is beautiful and less humid, and no rain, which is great for sightseeing, Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Mekong Delta. If you are visiting between May and November, be prepared for a bit of rain, although don’t let it put you off,  the city is still alive and kicking with plenty to do!

Seamless Transportation for Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

PrPrivate vehicles are included in our Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City tours so that you can travel comfortably and free of mind that you won’t get lost or miss  public transport. But if you want to go around by yourself, here are some good means of transportation:

  • Taxis — Reliable companies are Vinasun and Mai Linh, and both use meters so you know the price in advance.
  • Ride-Hailing Apps Grab is easily available and cheap for getting around Ho Chi Minh City in short distances.
  • Public Transport – Buses are available, but may not be the most tourist-friendly mode of transport if you do not speak the language.

Most importantly, it’s a great opportunity for free walking around Ben Thanh Market, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and the city center for pace lovers.

Cultural Etiquette in Malaysia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours

Vietnam is a friendly, contemporary country, but it’s always nice to respect local customs! And here are a handful of (perhaps) not-so-obvious etiquette rules for Malaysian travelers:

  • Dress Moderately – Religious sites or historical places should be in attire from head to toe, and it is advised not to wear shorts. Don’t wear anything too provocative, especially sleeveless tops or shorts for entering temples.
  • Be Graceful in Holy Venues – Stay Silent Respect for mosques, pagodas, or churches.
  • Polite Greetings – When meeting the locals, a soft handshake or gentle bow is customary. Do not use exaggerated physical gestures.
  • Bargain is Expected – In markets such as Ben Thanh; haggling for a price is a must in this shopping experience! Just make sure to do it with a smile and respect.

Tour of Vietnam

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

The tour was fantastic

I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
