Detailed Description

Much of Vietnam’s spreading landscape is coated by untouched forests that are teeming with wildlife. A single-night stopover in Hanoi will allow you time to acclimatize to the culture, explore venerated landmarks, and sample the flavors of traditional cuisine. The following day, you will visit the wilderness that encompasses Ba Vi for your official introduction to the country’s breathtaking scenery.

Ba Vi is known for its staggering mountain range, and you will traverse its foliage-flanked slopes on your first afternoon. The next day will have you venture deep into the forest to Thien Son Waterfall. You will then visit a spirited village, where locals adorn themselves in colorful garments and highlight their ancestral roots with authentic family meals.

Next, you will fly to Dong Hoi and transfer to Phong Nha to experience Vietnam’s collection of bewildering caves. Your first day in the region will allow you to visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A guide will welcome you to the park and help you navigate the winding trails across its grounds. Your next day will take you deeper into Phong Nha to enjoy an exclusive cave tour.

The last leg of your vacation will bring you to the pristine shores of Phu Quoc island. Blanketed by a tremendous forest that spreads across the island, you can take pleasure in the balance of seaside and jungle paradise. After many adventurous exploits, you may want to relax in seclusion along the shores.

Vietnam Travel Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong River, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay Cruise, History, Culture, 10-Day Trip

Zicasso's tour company did a fabulous job arranging our 10-night trip to Vietnam.

We visited Vietnam from south to north, starting in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and the Mekong River, then to Hội An and Huế, and finally to Hanoi and Hạ Long Bay.

At each location, the travel company provided us with very knowledgeable local guides who taught us the history and the culture of the area, which was our main ask.

The guides and our coordinator were professional and fun, and we enjoyed our time with the guides as much as we enjoyed the beautiful country. 

The coordinator even met us at our hotel in Hanoi to make sure we were well taken care of.

We would use this travel company in the future.

Thank you.

Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore Tour Review: Khmer Cooking Class, History, Geography, Culture, Rural Areas, Private Guides, Boutique Hotels, 3 Weeks

Zicasso’s travel agency worked patiently with us over several months to organize a perfect four-country tour through Indochina, doing exactly what we asked, including a Khmer cooking class with a local chef.  

We were met on arrival in each county by an experienced English-speaking guide who was well-versed in the history, geography, and culture of each location, and they were just delightful people too. They took us to rural villages and through urban mazes to get a close look at the daily life of the citizens. We chatted with farmers in the field and had meals in local homes. Our agency booked amazing hotels for each stop, from an eco-lodge in the mountains of Vietnam to a spectacular seaside resort in Thailand. 

We had contact names and numbers for agency representatives in each country. They were incredibly responsive, even after hours, when we had a small medical issue. They gave us a completely seamless experience from arrival to departure, with no wasted time. Vacation time is very precious, so we prefer to work with professionals who know the area intimately and take the time to understand our objectives rather than pushing a canned itinerary.

The travel agents we worked with directly planned an amazing Vietnam and Cambodia trip for my husband and me. We were blown away by how amazing the tours were at each destination. They made sure food/dietary restrictions were met and were very responsive when we reached out while we were at our destination. They listened to what we wanted from our trip and delivered an amazing experience. This was our first experience with Zicasso and we would recommend them based on the amazing trip planned by the travel agents.
