Why It's Going to Be Great Following are just the highlights – you'll experience still more on this tour.
Vietnam: Elegant Hanoi now vies with its dynamic sister, Ho Chi Minh City (still fondly called Saigon by the locals), for the attention of visitors drawn by the eclectic mix of old and new. In both cities the streets are jam-packed with motorbikes and scooters, often carrying whole families, and the markets are chaotically busy. Elsewhere, the scenes are timeless. Early morning on the Mekong Delta brings the daily floating markets where the fruits and vegetables are peddled.
Hanoi: The capital, Hanoi, sprawls on the banks of the Red River. It is a beautiful city that retains an air of French colonial elegance with pretty yellow stucco buildings lining leafy streets. Hanoi is also a city of lakes, which adds to its air of sleepy grace.
Hue: The former capital of the emperors of Vietnam, it is known for its beautiful imperial architecture, although a great deal of this was destroyed during the Tet offensive in 1968. This ‘city within a city’ with its tombs, pagodas and lakes covered in lotus flowers was largely destroyed during the Vietnam War, but one can still see evidence of its former magnificence.
Ho Chi Minh (Saigon): Its vibrancy is maintained by the ever-entrepreneurial Saigonese who have taken the Government reforms to heart and re-embraced the capitalist ethic with unrestrained enthusiasm. The streets are jam-packed with mopeds and scooters, often carrying whole families. The markets are chaotically busy. There is a lot to see in Ho Chi Minh City.
Here's what one tour guests had to say about the experience. "THANK YOU for all that you did to organize our recent trip. Like our last trip with you to Peru, everything went off without a hitch. The logistics were seamless; all our guides were first rate; and the itinerary was well thought out. We will definitely travel with iExplore again in the future and are already thinking about where to go on our next trip. Thanks again!"
