Classic tour<\/h2>\n

At the beginning of your trip, stay several nights in Ho Chi Minh City<\/strong>, the former Saigon<\/strong>. This makes it pleasant to ‘land’ figuratively, and to get used to the warm climate of the south. However, the immersion in the culture and nature of the vast country starts immediately. Already during the first day trips you will get acquainted with the friendly and smiley population, and you will get a picture of the historical highs \u2013 but also lows \u2013 of Vietnam.<\/strong> The different landscapes are panoramic and serene.<\/p>\n

The tone has been set, this is the diversity you can expect from your journey from the far south to northern Vietnam. To shorten travel times, make some domestic flights, so there’s more time to explore different regions without rushing. Along the way, you’ll make constant leaps in time: from imperial dynasties to VOC-era trading posts, from the Viet Cong battle to the present. Ancient traditions are intertwined with modern life, and are given color by the different ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

The tropical zone is far behind you when you arrive in Hanoi<\/strong>. The cool climate of the mountains is in stark contrast to the heat during the first days of your trip. How different is the natural vegetation, and on the market are other local products. Unnoticed, the aroma of Vietnam has changed. What remained the same is the friendly laughter of the Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

Tips & tops Tour Vietnam:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Get to know the great contrasts of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) on a city tour. Historical, full of tradition, and cosmopolitan.<\/li>\n
  • The rural environment of Tay Ninh<\/strong> is particularly picturesque. Hidden from view are the Cu Chi tunnels.<\/strong> You can descend into this to get an idea of the circumstances in which the Viet Cong guerrilla was fighting.<\/li>\n
  • Wander through the Mekong Delta <\/strong>by traditional boat. At Cai Be<\/strong>‘s floating market, hundreds of fully loaded boats come together. A visual spectacle!<\/li>\n
  • Dalat <\/strong>is the city of low-hanging mist, cool air and conifers. Dalat is also the city of beautiful Art Deco architecture, such as the old train station.<\/li>\n
  • In Nha Trang<\/strong> there is a lot to do and the beach is never far away. Do you stay in the city, or do you dive into a tropical resort for a few days?<\/li>\n
  • Beautiful porticoes, narrow alleys and authentic trading houses give the old port city of Hoi An<\/strong> its charm.<\/li>\n
  • The glory days of the Champa kingdom<\/strong> in My Son<\/strong> lie in a distant, distant past. Monuments of red brick barely stood the test of time. Brave plants find a foothold in the broken walls.<\/li>\n
  • In a cyclo pedicab you sit ringside, front, with free views to all sides. The imperial monuments of the city of Hue<\/strong> pass by at a leisurely pace.<\/li>\n
  • The refined flavors of culinary Hue are considered the best cuisine in all of Vietnam. Hue’s ‘Imperial Kitchen’ adds to that. Delicious dishes with sounding names are served exuberantly: cucumbers become dragons, pineapples mythical birds.<\/li>\n
  • Pet a turtle! The ‘Temple of Literature’<\/strong> in Hanoi houses many stone sculptures, including a long line of turtles with st\u00e8les on their backs. When students go to an exam, they stroke the head of such a turtle. That brings happiness and wisdom.<\/li>\n
  • The village of Duong Lam<\/strong> seems to come straight out of a picture book. Centuries-old houses of laterite, narrow streets, vistas… really a picture!<\/li>\n
  • Special costumes and a beautiful, mountainous environment can be found in Sapa<\/strong>. The temperature is pleasant, put on your walking shoes and trek through villages and valleys.<\/li>\n
  • Your trip ends languidly and fulfilled on a cruise ship. Innumerable karst formations reflect in the waters of Ha Long Bay<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
