Travel Inspiration: A Dream of Indochine: Vietnam
Surprising Vietnam, millennia old. This country is forward-looking but holds tight to the past. Come discover for yourself the quiet revelry of this part of Southeast Asia on a fantastic journey through Vietnam. Begin in Hanoi, Vietnam, our gateway to the Southeast Asian peninsula. Vietnam surprises most American visitors. Whatever the expectations, the reality is something else, indeed.
This is a country that has survived decades of conflict, both with outsiders and internally. Today, the streets are thick with crowds and bicycles and a warm, welcoming population. Take an introductory guided tour by cyclo around the city’s colonial Old Quarter. Attend a water-puppet theater performance, a thousand-year-old tradition. Dig deeper into Hanoi at Ba Dinh Square to visit Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and his modest house…
During our 13-day Vietnam travel itinerary, we explore Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Hue, and Ho Chi Minh City, with optional guided extensions to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.
