Brimming with complex heritage, mind-blowing scenery and fast-moving megacities, it’s no surprise that Vietnam is regarded as one of the greatest cultural holiday destinations in Asia. Submerse yourself in culture in Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi, while wandering through the vibrant Old Quarter past the impressive One Pillar Pagoda, a seriously scenic site surrounded by lily pads. Carry on to the Temple of Literature where history afficionados can get a taste of Vietnam’s heritage, before heading into the famed Ho Chi Minh complex, a place where the country’s former president, Uncle Ho, spent much of his time. Head into the lush paddy-field laden mountains of the northwest region of the country where you can join a tribe gathering and learn about local traditions and rituals and of course, you can’t embark on one of our Vietnam cultural holidays without spending a few nights in the world-renowned Halong Bay. Enjoy the picturesque views as you cruise along the coastline and watch as local fishermen show off their craft, before settling down at a waterfront bar for a taste of ba kich (local liquor) as the sun sets.

"Thoughtful, professional and listened to our requirements and delivered. Faultless in every respect from hotels, excursions, guides, food recommendations etc. The Concierge was responsive, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. All memorable - the motorcycle trip around Hanoi was probably the highlight."
