Respect local customs and traditions
Vietnamese culture places great importance on respect and politeness; a simple greeting like 'Xin chào' goes a long way When visiting caves and natural sites, avoid touching the delicate stalactite and stalagmite formations as oils from skin can damage them over time Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated for good service from your guide and cruise crew
