Explore Vietnam Tours By Interest
When you’re looking to tour Vietnam and make the most of your time in ‘The Land of the Blue Dragon’, our holiday package deals will ensure your trip is a roaring success.
It’s a well-worn cliché, but Vietnam truly does have something for everyone. Whether you’re booking a getaway with friends to celebrate the end of Uni or ticking off a long-awaited bucket list destination in retirement, Vietnam is a vibrant place to broaden your horizons.
There are Vietnam tours to cater for all tastes, whether you want to devour as much local cuisine as possible during your stay or head for the hills to savour the tranquillity of nature. It’s time to explore.
● Get stuck into street food
No holiday to Hanoi is complete without sampling the local street food. With so many flavourful and aromatic dishes to choose from in the country’s capital, it pays to go on a guided tour, so you get all the glorious highlights. Some of our personal favourites include:
● Bún Chả - moreish pork patties served with rice noodles and a sumptuous sauce for dipping
● Chả Cá Lã Vọng - grilled fish marinated with turmeric
● Hoa Quả Dầm - a delicious dessert on a hot day, consisting of fresh fruit with condensed milk and ice
We could write dozens of blogs dedicated to Vietnamese street food. When you’re touring Hanoi, some of the best spots you’ll be taken to on a street food tour include Thanh Ha and Dong Xuan markets, the Old Quarter and Train Street (for a thrilling and unique experience).
The street food is every bit as tasty in other parts of Vietnam, so make sure to try different regional specialities as you make your way around.
● Learn about Ho Chi Minh’s history
If your Vietnam adventure includes a visit to Ho Chi Minh City, there’s so much to see from a historical perspective. We highly recommend booking a guided tour so you can get around all the top attractions in good time and hear the stories that shaped them. Ho Chi Minh City is home to the following places and more:
● The majestic Independence Palace, which opened in 1966
● Cu Chi tunnels - these were dug by Viet Cong soldiers during the war and cover 136 miles underground
● The Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon (the city’s previous name) - it stands 60 metres tall and dates back over a century to 1880
Back in Hanoi, Hoa Lo Prison is well worth visiting, and there are several Buddhist temples of note, including One Pillar Pagoda and the four sacred temples of Thang Long.
● Enjoy a terrific tour on two wheels
If you’ve always wanted to experience Hoi An, it’s the ideal place for a Vietnam tour on two wheels, thanks to its largely flat terrain. There are various options on offer, depending on your interests and fitness levels:
● Combine cycling and food tours - you can quickly pedal off the calories
● Escape the city by heading to Cam Kim Island and its laid-back way of life
● Tackle the Hai Van Pass - a challenging mountainous route where you’re rewarded with mesmerising scenery throughout
Booking a cycling tour or hiring a bike and finding your own path are wonderful ways to discover parts of Hoi An you might not reach on foot or by public transport.
● Head to the hills for a hike
Another of our Vietnam holiday deals is in stark contrast to city escapes. When you choose a more relaxing experience in Long Hai Beach, you can combine it with some incredible hiking at nearby Minh Dam Mountain. A full-day guided tour is well worth it if you’re a nature lover and want to appreciate the gorgeous natural surroundings and spellbinding views.
Standing at around 200 metres high and with lush green forests, wild monkeys and wartime caves, hiking up Minh Dam Mountain is an experience you’ll always remember.
