The trip was very well organised and gave an excellent insight into Vietnam's highlights. For a first trip to Asia, there is culture shock in the traffic, the electric wiring, the sheer busyness of the place. Even Halong Bay is busy, with many cruise ships!
As a learning experience, it is excellent in that you get a real feel for the place in a very short time with a very varied mix of experiences. Don't miss out on kayaking in Halong Bay, cycling in Hoi An, taking a cooking class, visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and the moped tour in Hue.
The food is very good but be careful with the water! We had a great holiday in good company with an excellent tour guide, Hoa.
