The full Vietnam experience
You know those times when you've had such an awesome experience, you just have to tell someone about it? Well this is definitely one of those times. As I go through photos on my laptop I am struck by what an unbelievably beautiful country Vietnam is, and how fortunate I've been to see the major spots in 11 days.

Vietnam by Day


We travelled on a package tour that lasted 10 nights and 11 days and we sure did pack a lot in! From Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi and back, we scaled across the country getting to experience the best that Vietnam has to offer, and what a delight it was!

Vietnam at Night


I travelled with my family – all 8 of us (including my sister's kids) and it was definitely the best family vacation we've ever had. Through a small company we found online, Vietnam Unique Tours, our holiday was organised by the super-efficient, friendly and professional Miss Jenny. Travelling in a family group, or any group for that matter can be tough. There are a lot of differing personalities, wants and needs of each of those travelling, and Jenny assisted with everything we needed, wanted, and things we didn't even know we wanted but appreciated so much for her thoughtfulness. Nothing was too much trouble for her, we even got to meet up with her in Hanoi near the end of our journey – she's a lovely person!

We met Jenny on our last night in Hanoi :)


She was available to us through call and text, 24/7 during our whole trip – from late check-ins to hotel mix ups, she had us totally sorted – someone anyone would want to have close by when planning a holiday – not just before the trip but during it too.

We travelled in May, and we have to say the tour was really at an affordable price, especially given all the inclusion – a tour bus (all to ourselves) and on-time pick up and drop offs to each transport hub from city to city; 4 & 5 star accommodation; meals at some beautiful restaurants we wouldn't have found on our own; and a selection of amazing cultural day tours.

Local Vietnam


You may have heard of how good the food is, and I am not exaggerating it is soooo good! Fresh, even healthy, the food is so tasty and even if you're not too daring you'll probably go home wanting to cook something new you've learn from the cuisine here.
Going to Vietnam is such a wonderful experience that I encourage everyone even just once to see and learn from their beautiful culture and food!

Vietnamese Cuisine is Amazing!


Would definitely recommend to go through Vietnam Unique Tours if you want the insider knowledge of what's good and what's not, plus the added comfort of knowing someone is there to help you. The Vietnamese are friendly people, but not all have very good English so going on an organised tour package like we did, it was handy having an English-speaking guide on each of our day tours.
This is the first in my Vietnamese related-posts, will link to more about each place in another Weekend Notes post, highlights definitely include Halong Bay but more on that next time.

Nice article. Maybe I will do this tour as well. Did you pay online through their website? were any hiccups or was it smooth sailing all the way - booking/travel/return? also, i am guessing flights are separate costs?
