- The ancient cities, beautiful scenery and relaxing beaches of Vietnam.
- Magical boat rides around scenic Halong Bay, the South China Sea and Mekong Delta.
- Sample and cook delicious local food.
From the spectacular limestone seascape of Halong Bay to the frenetic streets of Saigon, Vietnam is a country full of interest and surprises. The cities are an assault on all the senses: noisy, colourful, aromatic and totally absorbing. In Hanoi we tour by cyclo and see an unforgettable water puppet show. We have quieter time also, snorkelling at Nha Trang, exploring the fascinating Mekong Delta by boat and cycling past vibrant green paddy fields near Hoi An. And, of course, we get the chance to enjoy the superb Vietnamese cuisine and practice our chopsticks (try the fried scorpion if you dare!)
