Enjoy a private tour of the highlights of Vietnam including Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An and Saigon. End your holiday by the beach at Phan Thiet staying at the charming Coco Beach Resort.
Hanoi has a wealth of things to see, as well as the chance to sit in a café and watch life go by. The Temple of Literature, the Fine Arts museum, the Lake of the Restored Sword, the bustling Old Quarter, and a visit to a traditional Vietnamese long house can all be contemplated. In contrast is beautiful Hoi An, with its ancient merchants' houses, a Hokkien temple, the 400-year-old Japanese Covered Bridge, and the colourful riverside market. At the end you can relax on one of Vietnams finest beaches, the reason that Vietnam is the fastest growing destination in Asia. Click here - for further details of tailormade options in Vietnam.
