Great Full On Tour of Vietnam Just returned from Chopsticks and Coconuts.
It's a great, full on tour of Vietnam from North to South. We would never have fitted in so much if we had organised it ourselves. Our guide Tring was excellent at all times.
Highlights: For me, yoga by the lake in Hanoi at 5am with hundreds of locals doing T'ai Chi. The Mekong delta's big skies and homestay. For my son (14), the Dam Sen Waterpark in HCMC and Hoi An time.
Areas that we wouldn't have missed were Nha Trang as it is mass market tourism there.
I'd recommend this trip wholeheartedly. Take lots of bug spray and a whole lot of energy, every day is full on, there's very very little time for rest at all - and when it comes it is really appreciated.
Good Morning Vietnam! An Amazing Experience We cannot recommend this trip highly enough to anyone who is looking for an activity-based holiday which provides the opportunity to experience a broad range of what Vietnam and its amazing people have to offer. We loved every minute and given the chance we would not hesitate to do it all over again.
This tour was truly an amazing adventure, from start to end. The itinerary includes major tourist attractions and cultural highlights. The views were fantastic, especially in Halong Bay with its rocks and islands. And we just fell in love with Vietnamese food. It was interesting to see how it varied from place to place and big thanks to our guides who recommended nice restaurants for dinners. Besides, Vietnam is a stunning country with lovely, kind people. We already miss Vietnam.
