Vacation information
Our top tip:
Be sure to pick up some incredible tailored clothes in Hoi An.
Trip type:
Small group adventure, 1-16 people (min. age 15).
Activity level:
Leisurely.
Accomm:
7 nights traditonal hotel, 1 night sailing boat, 1 night sleeper train.
Solos:
Solo travelers welcome. Single rooms available for a surcharge.
Meals:
8 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 1 dinner.
Included:
Accommodation, transfers, listed activities, some meals.
Small group tour, ideal for solos & couples:
Small group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modeled on independent travel but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. Its easy to tick off the big sights independently but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, traveling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. For those with limited time, a small group tour will save valuable time in planning, and on vacation.

I'm afraid it was that intangible mix of the group which happened by luck which made vacation, It could have been good without the right people, everything was perfectly timetabled, but the enjoyment was from the singing on the overnight train, the complete bonding we had as a group.

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
Each traveler on this trip is given a gift of a Responsible Traveler cloth bag made by disadvantaged children from Central Vietnam.

People
Your group leader and the local guides we use along the way will help to break down barriers in your interactions with local people. In addition, we travel by some local transport to facilitate and encourage interaction with the local population. In the Mekong Delta, we visit a local garden restaurant, in the heart of the Delta, where you can sample some of the regional specialities such as the famous elephant ear fish. We board small rowing boats, sampans, and paddle through the many mangrove tributaries to visit small villages and meet with the friendly locals.Your leader will explain the range of projects we support in Vietnam, and in Hanoi, we visit one of these projects - KOTO, a restaurant dedicated to training street kids and disadvantaged youth in skills for the hospitality industry. At the end of our journey, travelers may donate any unwanted clothing, medicine and bandages, which are distributed to appropriate local charities.
