Vietnam is a vast and varied country. Now one of South East Asia’s real powerhouses, Vietnam has emerged from a turbulent recent history to become one of the region’s leading economic success stories.

An exotic blend of the modern and the traditional greets visitors at every glance, wherever you are in the country. It is as if Vietnam sits at the crossroads of all things cultural, historical and political, offering travellers a fascinating insight into the people, beliefs and history of the region.

From the remote and diverse ethnic tribal cultures of the northern mountains to the hustle and bustle of Saigon’s business districts, Vietnam is an enticing paradox throughout. Every day in the country reveals different something new. Towns such as Hue, Hoi An, Danang and Dalat are all full of intrigue and character in wonderful contrast to their larger neighbours Saigon and atmospheric Hanoi.

Vietnam is packed from top to bottom with historical and natural sights, mouth-watering cuisine and one of the longest stretches of coastline in the world.

Add to that the fact that Vietnam now has a great range of hotels and accommodation and it’s easy to see why this is the rising star of travel in South East Asia.

The question for most visitors to the country is exactly what to see, when to go and how to fit everything in. Fortunately, an extensive network of trains and flights mean all regions are accessible even on a short trip. Call us and our experts will help you! Find your perfect holiday to Vietnam with Experience Travel.

A truly fantastic holiday, I can just reiterate the the other reviews, everything was well organised for us, Melissa at E T in London tailored the itinerary to suit our interests and the weather at the time.
The guides, drivers were all delightful and always on time. Hotels exceeded expectations.
The Bassac cruise on the Mekong Delta is worth a specific mention, great food, lovely guide, visiting a local village and the floating market are must sees. Thoroughly recommended.
Would definitely use E T again.

 

Great trip

We were not expecting such an interesting and varied country. The tour company organised a good trip and we felt we experienced all the important places
Well organised.

Vietnam - we loved it. We have great admiration for the people and their friendliness and welcoming attitude. The sights from the Mekong Delta to Ha Long Bay, and all in between, made it the best holiday ever. Our guides and drivers (we had our own for the pair of us wherever we went) were second to none, knowledgeable and friendly.

Experience Travel arranged everything by email quickly and promptly, but picking up the phone met with the same 'can do' response. We went from originally requesting a budget holiday to 5* hotels and they patiently dealt with it all. We ended up with the perfect holiday (and how often can you say that?) because of their knowledge.

My destination choice for next year will begin with the question, 'What other countries do Experience Travel cover?' Only then will I decide where to go.
