tailor made Vietnam holidays Experience the Wonders of Vietnam
Vietnam truly is a feast for the senses! A holiday to this beautiful country should take in the vibrant cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, as well as the picturesque rice fields, pagodas and laid-back beaches in between.
Wrapping around South East Asia like a ramen spoon, Vietnam offers a tempting dip into over 1000 miles of diverse landscapes, food and culture nestled against the South China Sea. A great country to visit on its own but also combined with Cambodia, Laos or Thailand too, Vietnam has something for everyone. A rich, diverse history and culture, some of the most incredible beaches in the world, several UNESCO heritage sites, walking tours, junk boats, amazing food and much, much more.
Throwing aside turbulent history, Vietnam has emerged as bright as a button and opened its arms to welcome tourism like close neighbours, Cambodia and Laos.
Lush, long, and fringed with white sandy beaches, here lies a country of contrasts as complex as the famed street food that you’ll find at every turn. The culture of cuisine holds dear to the heart of the Vietnamese people, and within moments you'll be immersed in a land offering lemongrass, sweet soup and a rainbow of perfectly carved fruits.
Vibrant cities punctuate the country from tip to toe, with northern capital Hanoi taking centre stage as the gateway to the south. The balmy antique alleys of the crowded Old Quarter sit juxtaposed against the cool and quiet of the modern Mausoleum, housing the revolutionary leader who gave his namesake to the country’s largest city, Ho Chi Minh.
