Explore Vietnam

Mark and David's verdict

Vietnam is a hot winter sun destination, but to get the most out of this fascinating and beautiful country, take a tour, with interludes on the beaches as opposed to full-time loafing. Temples, sampans, hill tribe villages, historic ports and breathtaking mountain scenery contrast with chic boutiques, fancy restaurants and stylish beach hotels.

Experience this country’s incredible diversity on our 11-day Vietnam Insight small group journey.

You’ll travel from the capital Hanoi to the inviting turquoise waters of Halong Bay, experienced overnight aboard your private boat; from the cultural gem of Hue to the enchanting port town of Hoi An; and finally, from the bustle and vitality of Saigon to the depths of the Mekong Delta.

Along the way you’ll also be treated to some unique experiences such as a visit to the Streets cafe in Hoi An which trains disadvantaged youngsters from the region. Learn about local produce when you join some of the students for a unique tour of a little visited market, followed by a tasting menu at the cafe.

This journey covers Vietnam’s highlights in only two weeks by flying between major points of interest, staying in a minimum level of 3-star accommodation throughout.

Join a small group of up to 16 fellow travellers, accompanied by our expert local English-speaking guides and a professional Western tour leader, and discover this enigmatic country in comfort and style.
