Would you like to cruise the Mekong Delta in a private fleet of Sampans, see Saigon in an open top 2CV vehicle, experience dining in the dark, explore Hanoi on the back of a Vespa, sample egg coffee, enjoy Pho in a locals only small alley restaurant, visit the \u201creal Vietnam\u201d staying in beautiful resorts \u201ctoo remote\u201d for mainstream tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glenn, the owner of The Travellers Hut has been travelling to Vietnam since it opened for tourism over 30 years ago, visiting on over 40 occasions as a guest of the tourist office, airline and hotels. Also, on personal holidays and for over 16 years escorting our small group journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was becoming frustrated that the off the shelf tour companies were not offering experiences to Vietnam that I knew were possible. Each of our journeys include many amazing experiences and visit destinations that I have seen in depth in my travels, that the large tour companies either cannot travel to or have deemed too difficult to include. I wanted my clients to experience Vietnam like I had, which resulted in our Travellers Hut Vietnam Destination Journeys being created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capped at a maximum of 12 guest our smaller number allow us to be flexible, and able to enjoy unique experiences and visit places large groups cannot travel to. This provides a more fulfilling personal experience and importantly our small groups do not overwhelm the local people with mass tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tony (Hoang) Nguyen from Magenta Nails, Ettalong, originally from Hoi An Vietnam also joins us on our escorted journeys through Vietnam in 2023 giving us a unique locals perspective on every day of our journey to enhance our experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our team of coordinators in Saigon help us in carefully preparing our itineraries from day one to their conclusion, hand selecting luxury accommodation in the major cities and unique deluxe accommodation to enhance our experience when staying in \u201cout of the way Vietnam\u201d. Our main brief is to try to include at least one wow experience every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We strive to make every journey different with the latest and best available experiences. \u201cNo two journeys are the same\u201d. Many of our journeys have clients that have travelled with us before, wanting to see Vietnam again and having new experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our last 18 night journey to Vietnam only finished on 15 October, and encompassed both South and North Vietnam but we had to leave places out of the journey.\u00a0 For 2023 however we will be offering a number of journeys that will only focus on either North or South Vietnam. There are too many sights and experiences, we don\u2019t want you to miss out on anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February we\u2019ll focus on South and Central Vietnam featuring Saigon, with unique 2cv sightseeing, dining in the dark, a traditional acrobatic show showcasing Vietnamese life heavily featuring bamboo props. We will also visit the Mekong Delta in detail, visiting Nui Sam with its amazing views over the surrounding rice fields, staying at the Victoria resort on the riverbank in Can Tho and spending two nights on a fleet of private sampans exploring the Mekong and its tributaries in depth. We will also be visiting Hoi An, Tony\u2019s hometown for an extended stay so you can experience Hoi An as only locals can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Late August will focus on Northern Vietnam taking in the capital Hanoi, Visiting Sapa staying at Topas Ecolodge with its stunning views of the rice terraces. See \u201cHa Long Bay on land\u201d, relax at the fabulous Yen Tu resort, and cruise for two nights in luxury on Ha Long and Lan Ha Bays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope you can join us on one of our Travellers Hut fully escorted small group departures in 2023. As Sue, one of our travellers on our last journey says, \u201cVietnam, I am coming back with Glenn and his extraordinary trips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
