TOUR DESCRIPTION:
We hope that our tour will bring you closer to the real Vietnam, which charmed us so much. The tour is made special by lush vegetation, impressive landscapes and amazing natural surroundings. Vietnam is an extremely diverse country which we want you to experience.
We will start the tour in the ancient town of Hoi An, a superb World Heritage town. Our next stop will be Hue, famous for the Vietnamese emperors’ tombs. On our way North, we will pass a lot of colorful minority villages. We will visit another World Heritage site, the famous Phong caves – the Doong, the Phong Nha Dark Cave and the Paradise Cave! In the middle part of our tour we will visit more historical spots. The Vinh Moc Tunnel complex will take you back to the Vietnam war era and gives a good perspective of why this war could not have been won by the USA. We will ride over a good portion of the historic Ho Chi Minh trail, snaking along the Laos border. We will also ride through the fertile Mai Chau valley and see the world-famous rice terraces, which are like living sculptures on the flanks of mountains. We will have a good chance to take in the bustling atmosphere of Hanoi. At the end of the tour we offer you a well deserved rest with a 5* luxury cruise in the Ha Long Bay, probably the most famous place in all of Vietnam.
Traveling through different regions of the country we will also have a chance to try different types of Vietnamese cuisine – no comparison with the fast-food joints back home!
Join us for this Vietnam tour – you are sure to regret not having come before!
