Tour Overview
The ultimate exploration of Vietnam’s most scenic locales, this tour will take you through the islands of Halong Bay, over the hills of Sapa to its remote tribal villages and across the waters of the Mekong Delta. Some of the highlights include exploring Cat Ba National Park, meeting the northern Hill Tribes and visiting the floating markets and villages in the Mekong Delta.
Primarily Vietnamese in character, Sapa comes alive during the weekend market when the local ethnic H’mong and Dao people trek in from nearby villages to sell their wares. Surrounded by the vista of Vietnam’s highest peak, Fansipan (3,142 meters or 10,308 feet), the region holds countless trails and walks for all levels of enthusiasts and provides an introduction into the lives of the isolated communities of the north. This itinerary includes some reasonably long days of hiking to the remote Hill Tribe villages, but can be altered to better suit your ability or fitness level if you desire.
A trip to the Mekong Delta will expose you to the flurry of activity and commerce among its waters, which are interspersed with seemingly endless rice fields, colorful floating markets and isolated villages accessed only by boat. Annexed from Cambodia by the invading Vietnamese in the 17th Century, the Delta remains home to descendants of the former Khmer Empire and the region is scattered with a working collection of temples and resident Buddhists that continue to use the Khmer language as their mother tongue.

We had a wonderful trip to Vietnam
We had a wonderful trip to Vietnam.The guides both in Hanoi and Saigon were very nice and helpful and made the trip very successful. The wonderful sights in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Cu Chi Tunnel and all the museums was very interesting. The relax days at Phu Quoc was beautiful. Once again you and Yampu made our holiday a great experience with a lot of good memories.
