Vietnam Holidays

There are so many choices of activities and services in Vietnam that you may become quite confused about what to do and what to leave for another time. Vietnam Spirit Travel would like to list some of the highlight activities that we think you should try while travelling in Vietnam. However, we also understand that everyone has their own ideas, so what we suggest is just that. We look forward to hearing your comments and recommendations to extend this list.

Having Pho - Noodle soup.
Vietnam 's most popular breakfast made from rice and different kinds of herbs. This is not o­nly simple food but also our culture of food - art. Where do you go to try this? Everywhere! Ask any local people and they will show you the o­ne that they normally eat at daily. However, the many Pho 24 or Pho 2000 restaurants are famous with travellers.

Bia Hoi - Vietnamese Beer
The French had brought beer to Vietnam so we have beer from can, from bottle. In recent time beer from Germany , Denmark , Czech.are brought to Vietnam . But the most beer Hanoians drink is "bia hoi" that means "steam beer". It is a kind of premature beer. In the summer, after a hard working day or after a short exercise, nothing is more refreshed than a couple glass of "biahoi". The restaurants store the beer barrel in a cellar filled with ice. Important is that the beer stays at a fixed temperature (it is the secret of each restaurant) for a fixed time, if the temperature is hotter the beer will be bitter. Otherwise it will be sourer.From the barrel beer is poured in 400ml glass and will be brought to customers. People usually order some meat dishes to accompany the beer. Sometimes people (mostly men) can spend more than 6 hours drinking "bia hoi". You can find "bia hoi" almost o­n every street, it is a great idea to sit o­n the sidewalk of a street corner drinking "bia hoi" and chat with your friends.

Riding Xich Lo (Rickshaw) in the Hanoi old quarter
Hanoi 's old quarter itself is interesting but riding by Xich Lo to see it is even better. There are plenty of routes to cruise through the 36 old streets. We recommend a 1.5 hour ride to see that special part of Hanoi . Most of Vietnam Spirit Travel tours include this experience in their itinerary. 

Sit back for water puppet show in Hanoi. 
The original Water Puppet shows were created by farmers in the 11th century during flood seasons. Plays are very simple representations of daily activities and something only rarely ever seen out of Vietnam . This is another great chance to understand the Vietnamese 'water-rice' culture.

Junk cruise in Halong Bay
Many people travel to Vietnam just because of Halong Bay . This natural world heritage site attracts millions of visitors per year. It is definitely the most popular destination in Vietnam . Let's have a nice junk to enjoy this famous spot. 

Visit Sapa homestay
Sapa is in the northwest of Vietnam and is the hometown of many different colorful hilltribe groups. This remote area is highly recommended to adventure travelers especially for trekking and homestay. Quite different from homestay in Mekong Delta, a stay in a local house of o­ne of the people in Sapa is more rustic. Everything seems to be very simple but what you really get from it is the diversity of the local culture, atmostphere, scenery and unique hospitality.

Motorbike cruise in Hue
A great way to get off the beaten track & see Vietnam in close-up. It is also the only way the locals get about as a car is too expensive to purchase! Please note that all guides carry helmets which can be used, and the top speed ever gained is no more than 25km/h. 
Begin by departing the hotel by 08.00am and the first stop is on the Vi Da Bridge for a great view of the river, and photo opportunity. Then head out of the city and through the rice paddies and countryside. There are many things to see including the Old Covered Bridge; the Tiger's Arena (where the elephants & tigers used to fight and the elephants always won!), visit some of the local cottage industries such as incense making and conical hat making, then head up to the military bunker o­n the top of the hill for a great view of the Perfume River. At 11am you may be lucky enough to get to a monastery and hear the monks chanting. Lunch is usually either in a monastery or a convent. The nuns are super friendly at the convent, and the meal - a fully vegetarian buffet - is usually one of the client's trip highlights. After lunch, you will head to one of the Emperor's Tombs and then maybe onto the Thien Mu Pagoda before heading back to the hotel. You will usually get back around 4pm or maybe earlier. 

Cooking class in Hoi An
If you have been in Vietnam for a few days and decide you love Vietnamese food, try a short demonstration cooking class in Hoian. Ms Ly, who owns the Hong Phuc restaurant, can bring you an unforgettable class which is a mixture of fun and education. Hai's Scout in Hoi An is another great place to arrange this activity. Enjoy making your own real Vietnamese Spring Rolls and fish grilled in banana leaves 

Fighting Cu Chi tunnels
Begun during the French war, CuChi was used widely during the more recent Vietnam war. These were hidden tunnels to protect the village people from bombs and fighting. Most now is closed for security purpose, however enough is maintained so people still have a great opportunity to see how it was built and its various uses. The highlight of Cu Chi is you can actually crawl through it (if you want to). It will be hot down there but this is the way you understand just a bit about how hard it was for people here who had to live in the tunnels during the actions above.

Homestay in the Mekong Delta
Vietnam Spirit Travel believes the local culture will be best understood if you join local activities. That's why we recommend this action. The best tour is a small private tour and an overnight stay with a small family in Vinh Long or Ben Tre. Stay to understand the lovely locals of the Mekong Delta - always selected as the highlight of a Vietnam trip from our past customers.

Dear Thuan & Huy

Thank you to all of you for the diligent planning of our Vietnam trip and for the excellent service of your guides and drivers. We found our guides to be very knowledgeable about the sites, history and culture. They were willing to assist us with every need.

The restaurants that were chosen for us were exceptional and the variety of the food far exceeded our expectation. We plan to engage your services for our next travel vacation in Vietnam and to recommend vietnamspirittravel.com to our friends.

Sincere Thanks,

Mr. Carl R. Stewars & Ms Lyndal Healy - Australia

************************************************************
First of all, I thank all the drivers and guides for their services. In particular, the Hanoi, Hue, and Mekong delta guides were outstanding in their services. They made my days in those cities pleasurable and memorable. I wish I could have them again in other cities I may visit in the future.

As for vietnamspirittravel, I was totally satisfied with the itinerary and all your selections from restaurant to entertainment show. I thank your company for pampering me throughout the trip. I would definitely use your company when visiting vietnam again. I am already recommending your company to my friends and colleagues.

If I were to pick the best guide among my guides, the Sapa guide would be my choice. I arrived late in the evening in Sapa and told her that I needed to eat something. Even though bringing me to the hotel was the end of her duty that day, she personally took me to a small local restaurant where I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Seeing the beauty of Sapa was a pleasure but eating food at a tiny restaurant with ordinary vietnamese people was also a memorable experience.

Overall, my first vietnam trip was superb thanks to vietnamspirittravel. Thanks oÃ,­nce again for your excellent job and look forward to another trip through your company.
