A remarkable land with a beauty and charm all of its own.
vietnam
timeless & enchanting
There are few places in South East Asia that are as infamous for their turbulent history. Contrary to the multitude of films, books and songs written about the country there remain hidden jewels awaiting at the turn of every corner. With remarkable sightseeing, a rich and diverse culture as well as warm and friendly people, Vietnam is waiting to be discovered. Its charms will leave you wanting to return again and again.
in a word
Vietnam offers a fantastic mixture of places to see and visit, whether you are looking for sightseeing, beaches or a touring holiday. In city locations an organised tour is a good way to help with your orientation. If you want to explore independently there are a whole array of taxis and `cyclos', which rather like a modern day rickshaw, offer a novel and fun way to get around. When visiting ancient sites light cotton clothes and sensible walking shoes are a real asset. It is important to respect local customs and beliefs with regard to dress when visiting religious sites and your local guide will be happy to advise on what is acceptable. World events have inevitably cast their shadow across this country, which was for so many years the subject of news bulletins rather than travel brochures. In the last 20 years this charming and resilient nation has opened its doors to visitors. Not only does Vietnam have a rich diversity of places to see, but also enjoys a vast and beautiful coastline, mist shrouded mountains, mighty rivers and cascading waterfalls. Whether your passion is for history, scenery, food or culture the delicate tapestry of this nation will offer you all of this and much more besides.
