The trip was an opportunity to experience the full range of differences that this remarkable country has to offer. From the cities of Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh to the outstanding beauty of HaLong, the coast near DaNang and the huge expanse of the Mekong Delta, this was a remarkable and never to be forgotten adventure. There wasn't a day that went by when I wasn't thrilled by what I was experiencing. The cycle rides through the country and experiencing the local culture cannot be adequately described other than breath taking. There was so much to see and experience that the time went over so quickly. Eating Vietnamese food in so many different restaurants and a local street market was quite an education. Our group got on remarkably well which added so much to the trip.
Fantastic holiday:amazing people This was an adventurous holiday: we got to try so many types of delicious food from street to best restaurants. We learnt from our guide Thuy all about the terrible conflict against the Americans and the devastation caused by Agent Orange. Despite the 20 year war the country appears to be on the up. We sailed around Halong Bay, traveled on the overnight train to Hue, cycled alongside paddy fields and stayed with a family in the Mekong Delta. It was hectic but exciting.
Overall a memorable, very well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Extremely good tour guide and all of the staff involved. Without the immediate response of Binh in moving us out of the MotherHome Inn it would have left an enduring disappointment at the end of the trip.
