Vietnam

Lanterns on slow rivers

Overview

A country of astonishing range — from Hanoi's French-quarter streets to Hoi An's lantern-lit lanes, from Halong Bay's limestone islands to the Mekong Delta.

Vietnam is 1,650 kilometres of coastline, three distinct climate zones, and a culinary tradition that varies so dramatically between north and south that visitors often feel they have been to two entirely different countries. We build itineraries that move with intention — spending time where the experience deepens rather than racing through a checklist of sights.

Highlights

Halong Bay — Private Junk

A private chartered junk for two to four guests, not a group cruise. Kayaking into sea caves, swimming off limestone karsts, and dinner on the water as the other boats fade from view.

Hoi An's Ancient Town

The UNESCO-listed merchant town at its best: a dawn bicycle ride through rice paddies, a market cooking class, and the town by lantern-light on the evening the street lamps are lit.

Hanoi's Old Quarter

The 36 guild streets, a water puppet theatre performance, and a private dinner in a Hanoian home that has been in the same family since the 1930s.

Mekong Delta

The southernmost reach: floating markets, coconut candy factories, and a day navigating narrow canal networks by sampan with a local guide whose family has fished here for generations.

Hanoi — The North

Old Quarter walking tour, Ho Chi Minh Complex, and a private evening food tour through the back alleys of Hoan Kiem.

Cooking school, tailor fittings, bicycle rides to My Son — and the town at its most beautiful, lit by lanterns at dusk.

Day 10–12
