WHY YOU NEED TO ADD VIETNAM TO YOUR BUCKET LIST FOR 2024
By Sorrel Ashton of Travel Counsellors
Vietnam is a favourite destination of mine - so much so that I got married there in 2015 and have visited numerous times to many parts of the country .
It is very much a touring destination so for clients who like to see multiple places and really get under the skin of the country , this is a perfect place to visit .
Take a look at this great itinerary I have just put together for a client for some inspiration :
• Fly direct into Hanoi for 3 nights to enjoy the city , take in the architecture and atmosphere and incredible street food .
• Head over to Halong Bay and see one of the most amazing experiences that Vietnam has to offer .
• 2 nights in Phong Nha , in Ke Bang National park to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam ’ s countryside , explore the incredible cave ‘ Paradise cave ’ also nicknamed ‘ Underground palace ’ to give you an idea of its size and magnificence .
An is a UNESCO world heritage site , and is great for ambling the car free streets , enjoying the shops and dressmakers on offer and taking in the local coffee culture .
• A quick flight to Phu Quoc , takes you to the very south of Vietnam , for 5 nights of beach and relaxation and snorkelling at the famous star fish beach .
• Finally 3 nights in Ho Chi Minh , a fabulous dynamic city - from the amazing labyrinth of Binh Thanh Market to iconic rooftop bars and amazing french architecture in District One .
Interested in visiting Vietnam or South East Asia more widely ? I am more than happy to talk to you about my experiences and put together the perfect itinerary for you .
