Description of Vietnam holidays, tailor made
This fascinating 14-day itinerary travelling through Vietnam can be tailored to your interests and customised to your preferences. Travel from North to South to see the varied faces of this wonderful country – its history, culture, beautiful landscapes, rural traditions and much more – and interact with the local people of cities, towns and hamlets throughout the holiday.
Begin in Hanoi, exploring the Old Quarter or opting for a back street art tour, then spend a day in Ha Long Bay, sleeping on a traditional boat which cruises the waters. In Hue, visit Thien Mu Pagoda, King Minh Mang’s Tomb and Dong Ba market, the Imperial City and the antiquity museum. From here, travel to the ancient town of Hoi An before visiting Ho Chi Minh City, where you can take a cruise on the Mekong River and visit the Cai Be floating market.
As this is a tailor made holiday, all these options are simply suggestions. One of the significant features of this kind of tailor made trip is that you can work with a personal local tour operator to arrange your itinerary. You can make as many changes as you wish, not just before your tour begins, but also while you are in Vietnam.
Internal flights, transfers, transport by private vehicle, guides, boat cruises and breakfasts are all included, and there’s a choice of hotels, from mid-range to first class.
This Vietnam holiday can be designed for a group, a couple or a single traveller. You don't have to be tied to other people in a large group and your departure date is whenever suits you. You don't need to worry that this personally designed Vietnam holiday will be too expensive. Our policy is to offer good value for money and the price for a private tour for two people is competitive with standard group tours from other tour operators, with the restaurants and hotels featured often better quality.
From your arrival in Vietnam to the time you leave, your tour operator will monitor what is happening and check all arrangements in advance to ensure that every part of your holiday runs smoothly and effortlessly.

The holiday was spectacular and offered a huge variety of activities that kept even our 16-year-old son entertained for the entire duration. The itinerary was flexible enough to allow us to meet our elder son in Vietnam halfway through our trip and our activities for that particular day were extended to include him and his four friends.

Most memorable was certainly over night train from Hanoi to Danang, when for 4 hours the train was a slight embankment and all around as far as the eye could see was flooded paddy fields and swirling rivers. Read full reviewResponsible Travel
Planet and people
We have built strong links with local communities, craftspeople, artists, singers and musicians who are maintaining threatened traditions. During our tailor made Vietnam holidays we offer visitors an opportunity to meet them, thereby valuing their activities and thus helping towards their survival.For example, you'll contribute to sustaining traditional calligraphy, an art form under threat of extinction.
On these Vietnam holidays you'll also meet local people and enjoy a meal in a 'garden house' in Hue. In Ho Chi Minh City, you'll see the complicated process of making traditional lacquerware in a local workshop. At Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta, the local people will welcome an opportunity to perform their traditional Tai Tu music for you.
Wherever possible, we contract local indigenous suppliers for these Vietnam holidays and assist them to improve the quality of their services. By booking this tour, you'll be helping us to support Vietnamese service providers, artists and performers, small businesses, boat owners and other poor people in communities throughout Vietnam.
We use local freelance guides with wide experience and knowledge of cultural traditions and an ability to interpret the cultural heritage of the people in the places visited. For these Vietnam holidays, you'll have about four different guides from various provinces of Vietnam.
We are working closely with a small project in Vietnam trying save a critically endangered species of large primate, now reduced to less than sixty individuals world-wide. We're seeking financial assistance to supplement the meagre resources currently available to the project director while we help her to develop her own web site.
We are also collaborating with an international non-governmental organisation in setting up an ecology based village homestay network in the same area to widen awareness of the urgency of the situation amongst visitors.
