Vietnam Walking Trips

5.0

15 reviews on bookmundi

Walking tours are an excellent way to discover authentic Vietnam. The delightful flavors, changing colors and many moods of Hanoi’s Old Quarter are best experienced on foot. Admire the morning sunlight falling on the old yellow buildings and 19th-century communal houses as you pass the vibrant market, stroll around the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, and stop by a hole-in-the-wall for a delicious cup of traditionally roasted coffee. Explore Ho Chi Minh City like a local by wandering around its small alleys, stopping by the Chinese medicine market, and sipping ice-cold herbal tea. There are top-rated Vietnam walking tours far away from the cities, like in the islands of the Mekong Delta. Walk on the river bank, discover Khmer pagodas and interact with local communities.

Spectacular scenery and very enjoyable hikes

Some exceptionally beautiful views and friendly people made this trip a memorable experience. Paths winding around rice fields and through bamboo forests, being led by local guides - very different to the walks I do back home! The warmth of the people we met, some of whom laid on delicious lunches along the hikes, added to the experience. And the cruise around Lan Ha Bay was a pleasant way to relax and enjoy the coastal scenery.

From day one I knew that this explore trip would be good. There was just seven of us in the group and we seemed to click immediately Do Huy Hung was our group leader, he was fun informative and his knowledge of the history of Vietnam the flora and fauna wherever we went was truly amazing. The highlights for me was the Pu long nature reserve and the surrounding villages, and the Mekong delta However this trip offers a great deal despite the flooding and rain we seemed to pack so much in. I would highly recommend this trip is offers so much and the walking is not difficult. I would also like to say that having been on explore trips before that Do Huy Hung is an asset to Explore .
