VIETNAM DAY TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS
Our Vietnam Day Trips are designed to scratch the surface of this incredible country. The main sights are easily accessible to any tourist but if you wish to experience the ‘real’ Vietnam, then we suggest you let us guide you to the special hidden gems we know so well.
To put a twist on a standard sight seeing tour, we offer several options for getting around. Travel by traditional cyclo, a three-wheeled man-powered vehicle which allows you to sit and relax while the world passes by at a slow pace. Or, for a touch of nostalgia, a classic Citroen car or vintage Vespa motorbike are pleasant and stylish ways to see a city’s sites. Seeking a different perspective? Helicopter flights over Halong Bay or the mountainous northwest near Sapa are fabulous, exotic ways to explore Vietnam.
With more than 16 years of experience operating tours in Vietnam, we have amassed a collection of expert guides who can guide specialist tours. Explore local markets and streetside restaurants with a professional chef or tour art galleries and hidden cafes with an art historian. Interested in traditional medicine, photography, or wartime history? We have expert guides for in-depth tours in these areas and many more.
For those seeking a touch of adventure, we offer Vietnam day trips that offer just the right amount of physical activity without being too challenging. A remarkable way to explore the country is by bicycle and we have excursions around Hanoi, the Mekong Delta, and everywhere in between! Even though the traffic may seem daunting, these cycling trips explore backroads and quiet villages for a taste of the real Vietnam. Kayaking, windsurfing, and snorkeling are a fun way to add a bit of adventure to your Vietnam holiday. Halong Bay, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc Island are all great places for water sports as are many of the smaller beach resorts.
We invite you to step off the tourist trail and join one of Exotissimo’s Vietnam day trips. Our expert guides and unique experiences combine to create a memorable journey.
