Vietnam Discovery

We love Vietnam for its bustling cities, beautiful countryside and exotic food! Hanoi is a great starting point, with French-colonial architecture, markets and the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh. Venture up into the mountains of Sapa for a few days of hiking and fresh air, before joining a cruise on Halong Bay. We recommend spending a few nights on the water in Halong Bay, exploring remote villages and coves that the daytrippers miss.

It is easy to lose yourself in the magic of Hoi An for a few days, enjoying street markets, local food, great shopping and nice beaches! We recommend joining a cooking class here.

There is more than meets the eye in Ho Chi Minh City, with a local guide to take you to fascinating corners of this big city. We recommend a day trip to the Cu Chi tunnels, and if time permits, an overnight trip to the Mekong Delta.

Accommodation we recommend includes boutique hotels and an authentic but upmarket boat on Halong Bay. Travel is best with a private driver / guide, with some domestic flights. We can arrange a one-way train journey to Sapa if desired.

Around two weeks is recommended in Vietnam.
