Tokyo and Kyoto headline the "Japan’s Landscapes" tour, a 14-day city sightseeing package that uniquely includes Ha Giang in Vietnam. Tailored for seniors, this easy activity trip ensures all travel, accommodations, and meals are sorted, allowing you to enjoy each stop without stress. The distinguishing feature is its cross-cultural twist, blending Japan’s top sites with a taste of Vietnamese scenery, perfect for those eager to broaden their horizons.
This is definitely a full on holiday of a lifetime. The holiday is packed full of interesting places to see and experience. Our tour guide Vinh was superb, he took us to the best places to eat, planned the days so we could make the best of the places and kept us entertained.
The group were happy to include the optional extras and we saw way more than I thought we’d have been able to fit in on our own.
The highlights for me are the overnight train, Ho Chi Minh City and Angkor Wat.

I booked this trip last minute and wasn't disappointed. Highlights of Laos is an unhurried, relaxed trip. Pavements, like in Vietnam and Cambodia, are uneven and could be tricky for those unsteady on their feet; however, unlike those countries, the traffic is very light and easy to negotiate. Taxis to/ from airports are cheap. The Buddha park was great and COPE museum thought provoking. The rail journeys are smooth and comfortable with lots to look at. Limestone cliffs are dramatic and the hot air ballooning worth it. The walks and steps are relatively easy. Early March was hot.
Take easy slip on/off shoes for the many varied and interesting temples along with shoulder coverings and below the knee shorts.
Our guide, Quang, was lovely but what really made this trip for me was the fabulous bunch of fellow travellers.

It was amazing no better way to spend my birthday, everything was good. Saw and did a lot, wouldn’t have minded a bit more free time to let people decide what they wanted to do.
Our Vietnam tour was thoroughly enjoyable—the food was incredible, and the scenery absolutely stunning. What made the experience even more seamless was our tour manager, who responded promptly to every request and went above and beyond to ensure we reached each destination smoothly. Much appreciated.

Excellent tour, excellent tour leader. My only criticisms are that the tour was 1 or 2 temples too many and that the leader gave too many statistics and tended to repeat himself in his obvious enthusiasm

Every detail of our trip worked perfectly. The numerous drivers we used throughout the trip were always on time,
the hotels were very nice and our tour guide was fantastic! We enjoyed the Mekong Delta and Halong Bay. All activities planned by our travel exprt,
we’re done incredibly well.

An amazing trip. Both tour leaders were very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Explore did what it does best , take tourists into communities to witness local activities. The itinerary was varied mixing city and countryside with high profile site visits. The group members were great and engaged with the tour leaders. The people of Vietnam and Cambodia made us feel so welcome with their kindness and smiles. Top marks all round
