Luxury Holidays to Vietnam

A luxury holiday to Vietnam reveals faded colonial grandeur, stylish retreats, lush green jungles, mountains and rice paddies. Visit translucent bays while relishing the traditional Vietnamese cuisine and the charm of the smiling locals. Nestled between Laos and Cambodia to the west, and the South China Sea to the east, Vietnam also boasts a spectacular coastline. Traverse a landscape dotted with delightful beaches and towering limestone islands.

Vietnam is a wonderful destination that suits all travellers, whether as a standalone trip or part of a wider luxury holiday to Asia.

The Best of Vietnam

When embarking on a tour with Lightfoot Travel, your holiday can be tailored to your desires and interests, ensuring you see the side of Vietnam that appeals to you most. Take in some of the nation’s most dramatic scenery on our Hanoi, Sapa & Ha Long Bay, which lets you experience both vast natural landscapes and historic sites. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy a walk of Sapa’s gardens, rice paddies and forests, led by an expert tour guide.

Alternatively, our Classic Vietnam tour will allow you to see its buzzing cities, as well as its rural northern provinces. Your trip will include tours of Hue and Hoi An, allowing you to see the cultural highlights of these fascinating cities. Whatever your preferences, our experts will create a bespoke itinerary designed to your exact needs and budget.

Tours & Trips to Vietnam

During your time in Ho Chi Minh City, consider visiting the nearby Cu Chi tunnels; 250 kilometres of complex secret underground passages, used by the Viet Cong during wartime. These shelters are steeped in history, having protected Saigon against attacks from enemy forces. When wandering through the centre, take a stroll along the old Rue Catinat. The country’s French history is evident here, especially in the impressive Notre Dame Cathedral, opera house, post office and the Reunification Palace. Further inland, explore the ancient palaces and temples along the Perfume River, where Hue was once the centre of politics and spiritual life in Vietnam.

For a true feast for the senses, go straight to the country’s most populous city. Vibrant Ho Chi Minh City buzzes to a soundtrack of a million scooters, retaining its local charm in timeless alleys, ancient pagodas and markets. Don’t forget to also visit the markets, palaces and museums of the capital, Hanoi. Further afield, the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay are truly spectacular. Take an overnight cruise on a private junk and kayak through caves, floating markets and villages. Alternatively, board the elegantly appointed Victoria Express train from Hanoi to Lao Cai, to view the picturesque rolling hills and rice terraces of Sapa.

Looking for downtime? A stop at Nha Trang is highly recommended. This seaside village delivers barefoot luxury and pristine waters. Central Vietnam’s coast offers golden beaches and historic small towns. Wander around Hoi An, soaking up the area’s café culture, colourful lanterns and bustling markets.
