Vietnam

Flights, train travel and other modes of transport, overnight accommodation, a varied programme of excursions and activities and selected meals are all included in the price of your Vietnam train holiday. The services of an experienced Tour Manager are also included and they will be available whenever needed to provide assistance or offer information about the destinations we visit in Vietnam.

We endeavour to choose overnight accommodation that offers the best combination of value, location, comfort and facilities, opting where possible for family-run hotels which give our guests greater personal service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

This colourful history has left an indelible mark upon Vietnam's towns and cities; nineteenth-century buildings in the French-colonial style stand beside exquisite Vietnamese temples and pagodas, whilst numerous museums and monuments recall times of conflict.

Although Vietnam occupies a tropical/subtropical region, its climate varies. In general terms the far south of the country is consistently hot and humid, central regions are hot but drier except during May to November's sporadic monsoon season and the mountainous north is the coolest and wettest region.

Vietnam's famous cuisine is exciting, varied and unmissable. Perfectly balancing the freshest ingredients with herbs and spices, even the simplest dishes are memorably delicious. Pho, a seasoned broth of fresh rice noodles and herbs accompanied with beef or chicken, is practically the national dish and is enjoyed throughout Vietnam.
