Tuesday 9 March

Few cities in Asia reveal themselves as slowly—or as rewardingly—as Hànội. Vietnam's thousand-year-old capital is a city of hidden surprises, where ancient temples, leafy courtyards, and family-run cafés are often tucked behind the most unassuming shopfronts. In 1010, Emperor Lý Thái Tổ moved Vietnam's capital here from nearby Hoa Lư, and legend tells that as his royal barge arrived, a golden dragon rose from the Red River. Taking this as Heaven's blessing, he renamed the city Thăng Long—the "Ascending Dragon"—a name that still symbolises Hanoi's enduring spirit today.

On arrival, you'll be met at the airport and transferred to the Solare de Monte Hotel, perfectly positioned on Nguyễn Siêu Street in the quieter northern quarter of the Old Quarter. From here, cafés, artisan streets, and many of Hanoi's most atmospheric laneways are just a short stroll away, making it the ideal base from which to discover the city.

This evening, we'll enjoy an effortless introduction to Hanoi aboard a traditional cyclo, gliding through the bustling streets of the Old Quarter at a walking pace. It's one of the best ways to absorb the sights, sounds, and energy of the city while supporting one of Hànội's oldest professions, as traditional cyclo drivers are increasingly rare. Afterwards we'll gather for our welcome dinner at Hànội Food Culture Restaurant, a delightful local favourite tucked away down a narrow laneway, where we'll raise a glass to the beginning of our Vietnamese adventure.

Included: Airport meet & greet • Private airport transfer • Old Quarter cyclo tour • Welcome dinner
Meals: Dinner
Stay: Solare de Monte Hotel & Spa

At the heart of Hànội lies the Old Quarter, one of Southeast Asia's oldest continuously inhabited commercial districts. For more than 800 years, its streets have been organised into artisan guilds, each specialising in a particular trade—silversmiths, silk merchants, herbalists, tinsmiths, and paper makers—many of which still survive today. The district's famously narrow tube houses, built to minimise taxes on street frontage, conceal surprisingly deep homes, hidden courtyards, and generations of family life. Woven throughout the city are tranquil lakes, none more famous than Hoàn Kiếm Lake, where legend tells of a magical sword returned to a giant turtle after Vietnam secured its independence. Hanoi rewards curiosity, and its greatest treasures are often found down the laneways that most visitors simply walk past.

This morning, we'll uncover many of those hidden corners aboard beautifully restored Soviet-era open-top jeeps. Our local guides will take us beyond the usual tourist trail, weaving through the bustling Old Quarter, the elegant boulevards of the French Quarter, and the quiet villages along the Red River. Along the way, we'll experience the excitement of Train Street, explore lively markets and backstreets, and gain fascinating insights into Vietnam's colonial past, wartime history, and modern-day life before enjoying lunch together.

The afternoon and evening are yours to explore at your own pace. Wander around Hoàn Kiếm Lake, discover hidden cafés, browse the artisan streets of the Old Quarter, or simply lose yourself in Hànội's maze of laneways and see what unexpected discoveries await.

Included: Vintage open-top Jeep tour • Train Street visit
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch

Thursday 11 March

Following the end of French colonial rule in 1954, Hànội became the capital of North Vietnam under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, whose lifelong pursuit of independence helped shape the modern Vietnamese nation. Although Vietnam was reunified in 1975, subtle regional differences remain. Hanoi is still regarded as the country's cultural and intellectual heart—more traditional, measured, and deeply connected to its history—while Ho Chi Minh City reflects the entrepreneurial energy and dynamism of the modern south. Experiencing both cities offers a fascinating insight into Vietnam's diverse character.

This morning, you'll discover Hanoi through the eyes of the people who know it best. In small groups, local university students will lead us to places that have helped shape Vietnam's story, including Hỏa Lò Prison, the Vietnam Women's Museum, and the beautiful Temple of Literature—Vietnam's first university. Along the way, they'll share their own perspectives on Vietnamese culture, traditions, and everyday life, providing insights that no guidebook can offer. By joining these tours, you're also directly supporting the students and their educational programmes.

We'll then enjoy lunch together at KOTO Văn Miếu, one of Vietnam's pioneering social enterprises, where disadvantaged young Vietnamese receive hospitality training and career opportunities. Our student guides will join us, giving everyone the opportunity to continue the morning's conversations over a relaxed meal.

The afternoon and evening are yours to explore at your own pace. Return to a favourite neighbourhood, browse Hànội's artisan streets, relax beside Hoàn Kiếm Lake, or seek out another hidden café before dinner at one of the city's many excellent restaurants.

Included: Student-guided walking experience • Hỏa Lò Prison • Vietnam Women's Museum • Temple of Literature • Lunch at KOTO
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch
Stay: Solare de Monte Hotel & Spa
Optional: KymViet creative programme • Traditional Áo Dài hire

The emerald waters of Hạ Long Bay have become one of the defining images of Vietnam. According to legend, when foreign invaders threatened the young Vietnamese kingdom, a family of dragons descended from heaven, scattering jewels into the sea. Those jewels became the thousands of limestone islands that shattered the enemy fleet and created the spectacular landscape we see today. The mother dragon remained here, giving the bay its name—Hạ Long, meaning "Descending Dragon."

Beyond the legend lies a landscape every bit as captivating. Situated on the Gulf of Tonkin, northeast of Hanoi and just 150 kilometres from the Chinese border, nearly 2,000 limestone islands rise dramatically from the sea, creating a maze of hidden coves, secluded lagoons, and secret waterways. For centuries these sheltered waters provided refuge for fishermen, traders, smugglers, and even pirates. Today they form one of the world's most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage landscapes.

Travelling in the comfort of our luxury VIP coach, we'll board the elegant Taliya Superyacht for a full-day cruise through both Hạ Long Bay and the quieter neighbouring Lan Hạ Bay, which many experienced travellers regard as the region's true hidden gem. Enjoy a buffet lunch on board as towering limestone karsts drift past before continuing into Lan Hạ Bay for an afternoon of exploration. You'll have the opportunity to kayak across the tranquil waters of Ao Ếch, then glide by traditional rowboat through Bright & Dark Cave into a secluded lagoon surrounded by soaring limestone cliffs.

While many visitors assume an overnight cruise is essential, we believe a premium day cruise offers the finest balance of scenery, comfort and value. The bay's most spectacular landscapes are experienced during daylight hours, allowing you to enjoy the very best of Hạ Long and Lan Hạ Bay without the considerable additional cost of an overnight stay. We'll return to Hànội at approximately 8.00 pm.

Included: VIP luxury coach • Premium Taliya Superyacht cruise • Buffet lunch • Kayaking • Traditional rowboat through Bright & Dark Cave Lagoon
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch
Stay: Solare de Monte Hotel & Spa
Optional: Lan Hạ Bay speedboat experience

Saturday 13 March

Rising unexpectedly from a patchwork of emerald rice paddies, the limestone karst peaks of Ninh Bình create one of Southeast Asia's most extraordinary and beautiful landscapes. Often described as "Hạ Long Bay on land", these ancient karst mountains were formed more than 250 million years ago beneath a tropical sea before shifting coastlines left their towering cliffs standing above winding rivers rather than ocean waters. Yet this region is as significant for its history as for its scenery. In 968 AD, Emperor Đinh Bộ Lĩnh established Vietnam's first capital at nearby Hoa Lư, while the surrounding Tràng An Landscape Complex is now recognised as Southeast Asia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site for both its outstanding natural beauty and its cultural significance.

Leaving Hànội behind, we travel by our luxury 18-seat VIP coach (approximately two hours) into the heart of this remarkable landscape. Our first stop is Bích Động Pagoda, a peaceful series of temples and cave sanctuaries built into the limestone mountainside, before enjoying lunch in nearby Tam Cốc.

This afternoon, those wishing to make the climb can ascend the 486 stone steps to the summit of Hang Múa (Dancing Cave) and Lying Dragon Mountain, rewarded with one of Vietnam's most spectacular panoramic views across the Ngô Đồng River, rice paddies, and dramatic limestone peaks. Guests preferring a gentler experience can instead enjoy the lotus ponds, gardens, and scenic boardwalks at the foot of the mountain.

By mid-afternoon, we'll arrive at Tam Cốc Holiday Hotel & Spa. We've deliberately chosen to stay in the heart of the welcoming lakeside town, where cafés, restaurants, local shops, and the boat wharf are all within easy walking distance. Whether you choose a lakeside coffee, a leisurely bicycle ride through the surrounding rice fields, or simply an evening stroll as the light softens across the limestone peaks, you'll have time to enjoy the destination rather than simply pass through it.

This evening, you'll choose between two memorable cultural dining experiences: a relaxed farm dinner at Dundj Valley, surrounded by peaceful countryside, or an elegant evening of traditional Vietnamese music, dance, and cuisine in a beautifully restored heritage house in Tam Cốc.

Included: VIP coach • Bích Động Pagoda • Hang Múa & Lying Dragon Mountain • Cultural dinner
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner
Stay: Tam Cốc Holiday Hotel & Spa

Gliding quietly by traditional sampan through the tranquil waterways of Tràng An is one of Vietnam's truly unforgettable experiences. Limestone caves open into hidden valleys, ancient temples emerge beneath towering cliffs, and every bend in the river reveals another breathtaking scene. It's easy to understand why this timeless landscape has inspired emperors, poets, and filmmakers alike. While rice farming remains the lifeblood of the region, carefully managed ecotourism is helping preserve both its extraordinary natural environment and the communities that have lived here for generations.

This morning, we travel just 15 minutes to Tràng An Ecological Park, where we'll board traditional rowboats for a leisurely three-hour journey through its remarkable network of emerald waterways, limestone caverns, and ancient temples. We've deliberately chosen one of the quieter routes through the park, avoiding the busiest areas to create a more peaceful and immersive experience. It's also full of little Better World Adventures touches—including cushions on every boat—to make the journey even more comfortable.

After returning to Tam Cốc, lunch is at your leisure, giving you the opportunity to discover one of the town's cafés or local restaurants.

The afternoon is yours to experience rural Vietnam at its own gentle pace. Your complimentary bicycle is the perfect way to explore quiet country lanes winding between rice paddies, grazing water buffalo, and tiny farming hamlets. Pause for a coffee beside the lake, chat with local farmers, or simply enjoy the freedom to stop whenever something catches your eye. Those wishing to venture further can hire an electric bicycle or join a guided countryside e-bike tour (additional cost).

This evening, you're free to enjoy Tam Cốc's relaxed dining scene. Alternatively, join us for a short coach ride to Phố Cổ Hoa Lư, one of northern Vietnam's hidden local gems. Inspired by the architecture of Vietnam's ancient imperial capital, its lantern-lit pavilions shimmer across the water as Vietnamese families gather to enjoy street food, music, and the cool evening air. Still largely overlooked by Western travellers, it feels less like a tourist attraction and more like discovering a favourite local meeting place.

Included: Tràng An sampan cruise • Bicycle hire • Evening excursion to Phố Cổ Hoa Lư
Meals: Breakfast
Stay: Tam Cốc Holiday Hotel & Spa
Optional: Electric bicycle hire • Guided countryside e-bike tour

Today we leave the dramatic limestone landscapes of northern Vietnam behind and journey south to the lantern-lit trading town of Hội An, one of the country's most captivating destinations.

Few places in the world cast a spell quite like Hội An. As daylight fades and thousands of handmade silk lanterns begin to glow above the Thu Bồn River, this beautifully preserved riverside town becomes one of Southeast Asia's most enchanting places. Over the next four nights, you'll have the rare opportunity not simply to visit Hội An, but to settle into its gentle rhythm and discover why so many travellers consider it the highlight of their journey through Vietnam.

Today's journey links northern and central Vietnam, travelling by luxury VIP coach to Hànội's Nội Bài Airport before a short domestic flight to Đà Nẵng. Lunch is at your leisure at the airport before we continue to Hội An, where you'll be met and transferred to the Emerald Hoi An Riverside Resort. Perfectly positioned on the peaceful fringe of the Ancient Town, it's close enough to stroll into the heart of Hội An while offering a welcome retreat from the evening crowds.

This evening we'll gather for dinner at the acclaimed Morning Glory Restaurant, renowned for showcasing the authentic flavours of central Vietnam—the perfect introduction to one of the country's most celebrated culinary destinations.

Included: VIP luxury coach • Domestic flight • Airport transfer to Hoi An • Welcome dinner at Morning Glory Restaurant
Meals: Breakfast • Dinner
Stay: Emerald Hoi An Riverside Hotel & Spa

For centuries, Hội An stood at the crossroads of the world. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, merchant ships from Japan, China, India, and Europe followed the seasonal monsoon winds to this sheltered bend of the Thu Bồn River, transforming the town into one of Asia's greatest trading ports. As neighboring Đà Nẵng later grew into the region's commercial centre, Hội An remained remarkably unchanged, preserving its elegant merchant houses, Chinese assembly halls, and Japanese influences—including the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, now the enduring symbol of this UNESCO World Heritage town.

Today, that rich heritage continues through the work of local artisans whose skills have been handed down through generations. We'll begin the morning with the Lantern Lady, one of Hội An's best-known craftspeople, creating your own traditional silk lantern—a unique keepsake from your time in Vietnam. We'll then visit Réhahn's acclaimed Precious Heritage Gallery & Museum, a remarkable photographic collection celebrating the cultures, traditions, and traditional dress of Vietnam's 54 ethnic groups, before enjoying lunch together at the riverside Dao Tien Restaurant.

This afternoon we'll divide into small groups for a personalised walking tour of Hội An Ancient Town led by local university students. Discover landmarks including the Japanese Covered Bridge, Quan Thắng Ancient House, Nguyễn Tường Family Chapel, and Fujian Assembly Hall while hearing the stories that bring this remarkable town to life. The tour concludes at the Traditional Arts Performance House, where we'll enjoy a short cultural performance. Guests preferring not to walk may instead explore by cyclo. As with our Hanoi experience, these tours directly support the students and their education.

The evening is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Wander the lantern-lit streets, browse boutique shops, discover a riverside restaurant, or simply soak up the atmosphere that has made Hội An one of Vietnam's most beloved destinations. During your stay you'll also receive a voucher for a traditional lantern boat ride on the Thu Bồn River. Drift through the illuminated waterways aboard a hand-rowed sampan, release a floating wish lantern, and experience one of Hội An's most magical traditions whenever you choose.

Included: Lantern-making workshop • Precious Heritage Gallery & Museum • Riverside lunch • Student-guided walking tour • Traditional Arts Performance • Lantern boat voucher
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch
Stay: Emerald Hoi An Riverside Hotel & Spa

For many travellers, Hội An becomes the unexpected highlight of Vietnam—the place they wish they had allowed a little more time to explore. Beyond the postcard-perfect Ancient Town lies a destination that continually rewards curiosity. Peaceful rice-field cafés, artisan workshops, bustling local markets and hidden riverside laneways all invite you to slow down and linger a little longer.

That's why we've chosen to spend four nights here. Rather than rushing from one attraction to the next, today is yours to discover the town at your own pace. Browse the tailor shops, commission a custom-made outfit, leather bag, shoes or jacket, return for a fitting, cycle through the surrounding countryside, enjoy a long lunch beside the river, or simply wander until something catches your eye.
These are the days when Hội An becomes your Hội An.

One of the luxuries of travelling unhurried is having time to return. If you’ve commissioned clothing, shoes, boots, handbags, or other handcrafted items, today allows plenty of time for additional fittings and final adjustments before collecting your finished pieces. It's one of the many advantages of spending four nights in Hội An rather than simply passing through.

Or perhaps today is the day to venture beyond the Ancient Town. Hội An is perfectly positioned for some of central Vietnam’s most rewarding day excursions, whether you’re drawn to spectacular mountain scenery, ancient temples, or a relaxing day by the sea.

As always, the choice is yours. There are no scheduled activities today, giving you the flexibility to enjoy exactly the kind of day that appeals to you.

Today we journey between two completely different worlds, leaving the lantern-lit streets of central Vietnam for the lush waterways of the Mekong Delta.

The mighty Mekong River is one of the world's great river systems, flowing more than 4,300 kilometres from the glaciers of the Tibetan Plateau through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia before finally reaching southern Vietnam. Here, the river slows and spreads across an immense delta, dividing into thousands of rivers, canals and waterways that have sustained communities for centuries. It is one of the most fertile landscapes on Earth, where life has always been shaped by the water.

We've chosen to stay in the peaceful province of Bến Tre, affectionately known as Vietnam's Coconut Kingdom. Rather than the larger and more commercial parts of the delta, Bến Tre offers a quieter, more authentic experience where coconut palms line the waterways, boats remain an essential part of daily life, and local communities continue traditions that have changed little over generations.

After breakfast, we'll transfer to Đà Nẵng Airport for our flight to Ho Chi Minh City before continuing by luxury VIP limousine coach to Bến Tre Riverside Resort, overlooking the tranquil Hàm Luông River. After time to settle in, we'll board the elegant Sunflower for a relaxing dinner cruise, enjoying the sunset over the Mekong while our welcome dinner is served—a memorable introduction to life on Vietnam's great southern waterways.

Included: Airport transfer • Domestic flight • VIP coach • Afternoon tea • Sunset dinner cruise
Meals: Breakfast • Dinner
Stay: Bến Tre Riverside Resort

The Mekong Delta is often described as Vietnam's "rice bowl" and “coconut kingdom”, but life here is about far more than agriculture. This is a landscape shaped by water, where rivers are roads, coconut palms outnumber buildings, and generations of families have built their livelihoods around the tides and seasons. Spending two nights here allows us to experience the delta at a gentler pace rather than simply passing through.

Today is about experiencing the Mekong Delta not as a tourist attraction, but as a living landscape. Guided by passionate local experts, we'll discover its peaceful waterways and villages on an exclusive private cruise well beyond the usual tourist routes. Travelling by boat, traditional sampan, and bicycle, we'll explore coconut-lined canals, visit family-run businesses, and gain an authentic insight into everyday life in a part of Vietnam that remains refreshingly untouched by mass tourism.
During lunch we'll enjoy a relaxed Vietnamese cooking class before sharing the dishes we've prepared together. Returning to our riverside resort by mid-afternoon, the remainder of the day is yours to relax beside the pool, enjoy complimentary riverside afternoon tea, or take the hotel's shuttle to explore the lively Bến Tre Night Market.

Included: Private Mekong experience • Boat, sampan & bicycle excursions • Cooking class • Afternoon tea • Night Market visit
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch
Stay: Bến Tre Riverside Resort

Sunday 21 March

Leaving the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta behind, today we arrive in a city with an entirely different personality.

Unlike Hanoi, whose history stretches back more than a thousand years, this region formed part of the Khmer Empire (Cambodia) for much of its early history. French occupation from 1859 to 1954 left behind the elegant boulevards, cafés and colonial architecture that still characterise the city's historic centre today. During the Vietnam War, Saigon became the capital of South Vietnam before the economic reforms of 1986 transformed it into the dynamic commercial powerhouse it is today.

If Hanoi feels like Vietnam's memory, Saigon feels like Vietnam's ambition. Young, energetic and constantly evolving, it is a city of rooftop cocktail bars, bustling markets, remarkable food and endless reinvention—an exciting finale to our journey through Vietnam.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and leisurely morning at Riverside Resort before our late-morning departure by luxury VIP limousine coach. Arriving around lunchtime, we'll check into the Winsuites Saigon Hotel, superbly located beside Bến Thành Market in the heart of District 1.

Later this afternoon we'll enjoy a gentle orientation walk through central Saigon, beginning at Bến Thành Market before taking a short taxi ride to the magnificent Saigon Opera House. From there we'll stroll along Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street, pause beside the statue of Ho Chi Minh, and finish at the famous Café Apartments—one of the city's most creative and unexpected landmarks.Take the elevator (5,000 VND) to the top and wander down through these highlights:

• 8F: Po Cafe– Vintage, cozy, superb views
• 6F: The Letter Cafe– Lantern-lit, nostalgic, Hoi An vibes
• 5F: Saigon Ơi– Lush, plant-filled modern Saigon
• 4F: The Eye Saigon– Local streetwear and graphic design
• 4F: Closete– Minimalist Vietnamese womenswear
• 4F: Partea– Whimsical English tearoom
• 2F: Gom x Nicotin– Handcrafted pottery and ceramics
• 2F: Krystalini– A boutique and hidden speakeasy bar.

This evening we'll celebrate our arrival with dinner at The View Rooftop, overlooking the neon lights and infectious energy of Bùi Viện Street. Those wishing to continue the evening are welcome to join us for a nightcap at the hidden Snuffbox Speakeasy.

Included: VIP coach • Central Saigon orientation walk • Afternoon tea • Rooftop welcome dinner
Meals: Breakfast • Dinner
Stay: Winsuites Saigon Hotel
Optional: Snuffbox Speakeasy

Monday 22 March

Today reveals two very different sides of Ho Chi Minh City. This morning we'll reflect on one of the defining chapters of Vietnam's modern history before spending the evening immersed in the vibrant energy that makes Saigon unlike anywhere else in the country.

Travelling upstream by private speedboat along the Saigon River, we'll pass quiet riverside communities and mangrove-lined waterways before arriving at the remarkable Củ Chi Tunnels ahead of the coach crowds. Extending for more than 250 kilometres, this extraordinary underground network was far more than a military passageway. Hidden beneath the jungle was an entire subterranean community, complete with living quarters, field hospitals, kitchens, workshops, command centres and ammunition stores, enabling thousands of people to live, work and fight underground during the Vietnam War. Our guided visit offers a fascinating insight into the ingenuity, resilience and determination that sustained life beneath the surface. After a relaxed riverside lunch we'll return to the city by speedboat.

The afternoon is free to enjoy at your own pace. Browse the fashion stalls of Saigon Square, explore the historic Bến Thành Market, relax with afternoon tea and a swim at the hotel, or simply recharge before the evening ahead.

Tonight we'll experience Saigon as the locals do. Riding pillion with local drivers—many of them university students—our Saigon After Dark Street Food Adventure takes us deep into neighbourhoods that most visitors never see. Along the way we'll sample some of southern Vietnam's best-loved dishes while discovering why Saigon is widely regarded as Vietnam's culinary capital. Guests who prefer not to ride pillion may join by taxi.

Included: Củ Chi Tunnels speedboat experience • Riverside lunch • Afternoon tea • Saigon After Dark street-food adventure
Meals: Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner
Stay: Winsuites Saigon Hotel

Our final full day begins with a visit to one of Vietnam's most thought-provoking museums. The War Remnants Museum presents the Vietnam War through a Vietnamese perspective, offering a confronting but important insight into the human cost of conflict and the remarkable resilience of the Vietnamese people.
The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy exactly as you wish. By now you'll have experienced Saigon's history, neighbourhoods and extraordinary food culture, leaving you free to explore the side of the city that interests you most. Discover quirky cafés, browse contemporary galleries, enjoy a spa treatment, take a scenic ride on the Saigon Waterbus, or simply settle into a rooftop bar and watch the city unfold beneath you.
This is your opportunity to experience your Saigon before we farewell Vietnam tomorrow.

Dinner is at your leisure—perhaps a final bowl of phở, one last rooftop cocktail, or a memorable farewell meal at one of the city's outstanding restaurants.

Suggested activities:

• Private Saigon Hotpot student-guided walking tour
• Understanding Saigon's Hidden Inequality scooter tour
• Saigon Waterbus
• Temple Leaf Spa or Saigon Heritage Spa
• À Ố Show at Saigon Opera House
• Pasteur Street Brewing Company
• Decorate your own Nón Lá conical hat with a local artist

Stay: Winsuites Saigon Hotel

After breakfast, airport transfers will be arranged to coincide with your individual flight departure times. Late checkout may be available on request, subject to hotel availability.
Before boarding your flight, enjoy up to three hours' access to one of Tan Son Nhat International Airport's premium departure lounges. Relax in comfortable surroundings with complimentary food and beverages, catch up on emails, or simply unwind before your journey home—a comfortable and fitting conclusion to your time in Vietnam.

Over the past sixteen days, you've travelled from the thousand-year-old streets of Hanoi to the limestone landscapes of Ninh Bình, the lantern-lit charm of Hội An, the peaceful waterways of the Mekong Delta, and the vibrant energy of Saigon. Along the way, we've shared unforgettable meals, met inspiring local people, and discovered a country rich in history, resilience, and warmth.
We hope you return home with lasting memories, new friendships, and perhaps a little of Vietnam's spirit travelling with you. Thank you for choosing Better World Adventures—we hope this is just the beginning of your travels with us.
