Four weeks tour of Thailand
We were extremely happy with Ms. A Teerarat, our Bangkog guide. Her knowledge of the history of all the places we visited was amazing. Her cheerful personality made it a joy to be with her and she felt more like a good friend than a guide. More

Tasteful & classic, 5 stars and more.
We feel blessed that Nid was our tour guide. She is friendly and truly wants to make sure your stay in Chiang Mai is over the top wonderful! She arranged for my husband to go to local specialty shop that was off the beaten path, she had all my market shopping discounted and was super sweet enough to go to our friends wedding with us (she explained what was in each Thai dish at the wedding) More

Suggested Itinerary for Inspiration
Your preferences design the real journey. We're ready to create a wonderful Thailand and Vietnam tour for you.
Upon arrival, your private guide and driver will greet you at the airport and then drive you to your hotel. The rest of the day will be free for you to explore at your leisure.
- Explore Hanoi's top attractions: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, One Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature.
- Hop on a cyclo (a local rickshaw) and get in amongst Hanoi's city life, passing through the famed Old Quarter.
- Watch an entertaining private water puppet performance, and later test your own skills with a hands-on practice session, when you can try controlling the puppets. Let out your inner puppeteer with this joyful experience.
- Visit Vietnam's ancient capital Hoa Lu, which presided over the country's first centralized feudal state from the end of the 10th century.
- Take a 2-hour leisurely rowing boat ride through an amazing tunnel cave and along a picturesque karst river in Trang An, which is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
- Explore Mua Cave and walk up 'Lying Dragon Mountain' for a panoramic view of Tam Coc.
- After breakfast, you will be transferred from Hanoi to Halong Bay.
- Board your junk cruise at noon. This smaller craft is both more intimate and authentic than the usual group-tour boats.
- Swim in the emerald waters of Tra Bau in Lan Ha Bay.
- Roll up your sleeves and learn how to make Vietnamese spring rolls.
- You could try your hand at squid fishing in the evening or maybe another local activity you have interest in.
- Taste exquisite drinks and savor delicious food on board while enjoying the spectacular views.
- In the morning, kayak in the Ao Ech area to discover Ha Long's hidden charm — Lan Ha Bay.

- In the late afternoon, transfer to Saigon Opera House to see Ho Chi Minh City's A O Show— a spectacular traditional Vietnamese culture performance with modern artistic techniques and talented acrobats, dancers, and musicians.
- In the morning, head to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels by speedboat. It will save you about two hours on the way compared with a car transfer, as the road between Cu Chi and Ho Chi Minh is undergoing reconstruction.
- The Cu Chi Tunnels reflect the hardships and resilience of the Vietnamese resistance fighters. This tour includes a visit to the museum, a guided tour of the tunnels, and an opportunity to try some local foods.
- You will have a free afternoon to take a break during the long trip.

- Learn more about Vietnamese culture through its food during an evening specialty-tasting tour. Walk around the ancient town and take a boat trip on the Hoai River for a dreamy night surrounded by colorful lanterns — hanging and floating.
- In the morning, cycle the narrow roads through the countryside near Hoi An, passing rice paddies, water buffaloes, bamboo bridges, and local farmers doing their daily work.
- At a fishing village, experience the fisher-folk lifestyle. Cruise down Cua Dai River and try your hand at casting Vietnamese fishing nets.
- Paddle a unique Vietnamese round-basket boat on tranquil coconut-tree-flanked waterways, just as the fisher folk do traditionally.
- You will have two free days to spend at your leisure on Hoi An beach or you could take a speedboat to nearby Charm Island for scuba diving.
