We stay in the picturesque town of Hoi An, before flying to Nha Trang, with its miles of white sandy beaches, and then inland to Dalat in the Central Highlands. Next stop Ho Chi Minh City - formerly Saigon - a dynamic and energetic city with a visit to the Vietcong armies wartime tunnels and an optional trip to the Mekong Delta. We begin the Cambodian leg in the capital Phnom Penh, once considered one of the most beautiful cities of the Orient, but with reminders of Cambodia's violent past. We visit the Tuol Sleng Museum, a testament to the horrific crimes of the Khmer Rouge, before moving on to the killing fields of Choeung Ek. The tour ends in the fabled city of Angkor, the spectacular ancient capital of the powerful Khmer Dynasty and home to the greatest number of religious monuments in the world.

The Mekong Delta is a complex maze of waterways, and the rice bowl of Vietnam. This three day tour will give you a taste of life on the Mekong River and its tributaries. From Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), we travel by road to Vinh Long Province, where we board our boat and cruise into the heart of the Delta, viewing life as the local population does. Cruising along the bustling waterways, shopping at floating markets, visiting local villages along the way, and even a night at a homestay gives a fascinating insight to the local way of life.

Travelling by bicycle along the length of Vietnam on this adventurous and rewarding tour, you become part of the scene rather than an onlooker, seeing Vietnam as the Vietnamese see their country. The itinerary takes you from north to south, covering many of the major attractions along the way. Our tour starts in the capital Hanoi, with its tree lined boulevards and lakes, and then continues to Halong Bay where we overnight on a traditional junk, cruising the thousands of limestone islets. The Reunification Express takes us to the former Imperial capital, Hue, situated on the Perfume River, and here we are introduced to our bicycles. We also visit the picturesque fishing village and old trading port of Hoi An, the Central Highlands area of Dalat and the sandy beaches of Nha Trang, before ending our tour in the vibrant metropolis of Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City where we visit the Cu Chi Tunnels. The scenery along the way is spectacular, and travelling by bicycle gives you the chance to meet a multitude of people.

Travel the length of Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the south, to Hanoi in the north, exploring the beaches and small towns of the central coast in between. The trip begins in the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City where we discover the city highlights and Cu Chi tunnels. We then fly to Central Vietnam to the magical ancient merchant town of Hoi An – a UNESCO world heritage site. Here you can enjoy market shopping, pristine beaches and contemporary cuisine, gaining a unique insight into the amazing flavours with a traditional Vietnamese cooking class. A beautiful coastal drive takes us to the former royal capital of Hue. This historical hotspot boasts some of Asia’s greatest living museums. We fly to Hanoi, and then continue on to Halong Bay where thousands of limestone rock sculptures jut dramatically from the sea. Here we overnight on a traditional junk (boat), with time for swimming and kayaking. Back in Hanoi we include a city tour, and a cyclo tour through the fascinating Old Quarter.

This colourful eight day trip starts with a tour of Hanoi, a city full of lakes, boulevards and Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. There are three key elements to this tour: trekking in the far north, the famous Sapa market and a cruise on Halong Bay. Trekking, for up to five hours a day, is a great way to explore Vietnam near the Chinese border with its high mountain valleys laced with stunning rice terraces, forests, waterfalls and indigenous hill tribes who inhabit these isolated regions. The dominating Hoang Lien mountain range, the highest in South East Asia, will shadow your route as you trek these paths from one remote village to another. The people who live here are friendly but still unaccustomed to travellers who periodically show up. We will be eating fresh food, cooked over wooden fire pits and experience hill-tribe life that remains virtually uninfluenced by the outside world. We then return to Hanoi to cruise through the stunning limestone islets that have made Halong Bay a World Heritage site, staying overnight on a traditional junk.
