Trails of Vietnam - 21 days

Make the time to delve deeper into Vietnam and get off the beaten path to reveal the hidden treasures of this beguiling destination. Unforgettable holiday moments happen where and when you least expect them. This journey explores highlights such as antique Hanoi, energetic Saigon and charming Hoi An, but also ventures into lesser-visited areas such as the demilitarized zone and the Ho Chi Minh trail through the remote Central Highlands.

1.  Get a real experience of life in the verdant valley of Mai Chau when you spend the night in a homestay in a local family's house.
2.  Cruise the crystal clear waters near Ninh Binh, through caves and past temples, where wild ducks can sometimes be seen - more peaceful experience than busy Tam Coc nearby.
3.  The verdant Central Highlands take you off the beaten path to discover lush coffee plantations and beguiling minority villages.

You have the benefit of our professional English-speaking local guides and when your departure reaches seven or more travellers you will also be accompanied by an expert Western tour leader. Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.

Our style of travel is ideal for the solo traveller. You’ll meet like minded people, and always have someone to eat with at night. We even offer a ‘Willing to share’ option on all Classic Journeys so you don’t have to pay a single supplement. If we can’t match you with another ‘Willing to share’ traveller of the same sex, you get a single room at no extra cost! more info
