Mr Tran is a great Tour guide as he was part of the war in this area. Taught us alot about the tunnels. Highly recommended
Our guide Tuan was the best! He kept us informed and entertained the whole time. He did great!
I started my tour in Ho Chi Minh City then going on to Hoi Ann and ending in Hanoi. I advise this order for your tour. Ho Chi Minh is quite overwhelming so it’s good to start with this and adjust, as the tour progressed from Hoi An to Hanoi, things get easier, but you are also getting more tired ( lots of early starts and long days). It would be much harder the other way around. Ho Chi Minh City:. I arrived in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, where the simple act of crossing the road is an Olympic sport! The trick is keep your eyes fixed on the opposite side and cross the street with complete confidence, and whatever you do, don't go backwards. Things to see: The Independence Palace, tip: the ticket office closes at 15.30. The gardens, the indor market. Tour to the Mekong delta. The Vinh Trang pagoda was magnificent, and the many boat trips taken to discover the region were very enjoyable. The traditional music performed by artists was entrancing and there were enchanting arias and duets. The tour to Cho Chi Tunnels brought home the stark reality of the fierce conflict between the Viet Com and the southern army. The grim evidence of the conflict can be seen in the bomb shells, craters, and bullet-hole riddled tanks. The tunnels contained many ingenious devices to trap, maim and kill the enemy. In the evening I caught the night train to Hoi An. A distance of 1000lkms which takes about 17 hours. Solo travellers must be willing to share sleeping quarters with strangers. Hoi An, this delightful medieval town is wonderful to explore; many temples and leafy gardens. Shops selling crafts and quality goods can all be found here. Trip to My Son temples. These imposing 4th century temples are truly magnificent. No morter was used to fix the bricks and a small hole was deliberately left in each wall, to signify imperfection as only the divine was perfect. Fly to Hanoi. Much to enjoy in this capital city. For example; Ho Chi Minh's tomb, within the complex, which contains a mausoleum and his house. The Halong Bay cruise. This was absolutely wonderful. The crew welcomed us by waving to us from across the bay. We had a magnificent lunch, dinner and breakfast with seven courses. We swam, and took kayaks out across the water. The bay was tranquil and stunning. One night was too short, I had a wonderful time. The tour to the Dihn King temple and caves was interesting and fun. The temple was impressive and beautiful. The lake was tranquil and relaxing. The hike up the Ngoa Long mountain was adventurous but ultimately worth it. The view across the valley was truly spectacular. My contact person Trang Vu was nothing short of amazing. She went above and beyond to answer all my questions, even the ' over needy" ones. She was patient, kind, and I felt she really cared whether I was managing OK with everything. It made so much difference to me as a solo traveller to have her generousc support. When Trang is in charge of your travel plans you are in good hands. Dr. Deborah Yapp.
