Linda Felton
This was a great trip, fast moving but really interesting and full of wonderful experiences. We saw places we would never had visited without the expertise of Intrepid travel. The country is varied and the experiences we had moved meand was life changing. Our tour guide Dan was a warm and perceptive person with a cheeky sense of humour and was liked by all. He was always cheerful and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Again, this trip was fantastic, one of the best holidays I have been on.

Our first stop is at the Ho Chi Minh Complex which consists of his Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace and the One-pillar Pagoda. Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum attracts literally thousands of Vietnamese every day and is seen as a pilgrimage site.

Next we visit the Temple of Literature – site of Vietnam’s first university and later a temple dedicated to Confucius. We then take lunch in one of Hanoi’s local authentic restaurants. In the afternoon, we continue with the Museum of Ethnology where we learn more about Vietnam’s amazing ethnic diversity comprising of 54 different groups. Later we watch a one hour traditional Water Puppet performance in a theatre near Hoan Kiem Lake, the city’s focal point followed by a ‘cyclo’ tour of the Old Quarter. In times past each street had its own merchants’ guild, specializing in a particular trade, such as silk, jewellery etc. Today the street names still reflect this although many of the products have long since disappeared. We return to our hotel in late afternoon.

After breakfast, we set off by bus to tranquil Halong Bay. A four-hour journey through the scenic Red River Delta provides numerous photo opportunities as well as the chance to meet the locals and discover just how much hard work goes in to maintaining the rice harvests. We stop at a road-side rice farm before arriving at Halong Bay around mid-day. Boarding the private junk boat we are then served a delicious seafood lunch while cruising through the limestone cliffs and floating villages. We also visit Sung Sot Cave before we find a quite place to anchor for the night. A Seafood dinner will be served by your attentive crew.
