Vietnam stretches more than 1,600 km from the misty mountains of the far north to the waterways of the Mekong Delta, and travelling its length is one of Asia’s great journeys. Cruise among the limestone islands of Halong Bay, wander the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An and eat your way through Hanoi’s Old Quarter and the street stalls of Saigon. History, dramatic scenery and some of the best food in the world sit side by side.

We have been creating tailor-made holidays since 2007, and our specialists know Vietnam well beyond the headline sights: the imperial city of Hue, the karst landscapes of Ninh Binh, the rice terraces and hill-tribe villages around Sapa and island beaches such as Phu Quoc and Con Dao. The weather varies from north to south, so we plan your route around the season, and private guides help you see the country through local eyes. Every itinerary is built around your pace and interests.

The journeys below are starting points, not fixed tours. Each can be adjusted, extended or combined with Cambodia, Laos or a Mekong river cruise.
