From the mountains of Sapa and the lives of its ethnic minorities to the Mekong Delta’s floating markets and the unique landscapes of Halong Bay. Optional visit to the temples of Angkor in Cambodia.
Vietnam is extensive and has a very diverse topography. The South Vietnam lies in the tropical monsoon climate zone, where seasons differ only in rainfall and wind direction. There are two seasons: relatively dry (November–April) and rainy (May–October). Temperatures do not change significantly throughout the year. The Northern regions have a tropical climate with slightly more marked seasonal climate changes. Summer is hot and humid, while winter is cold and rainy.
Vietnam It is a fascinating destination at any time of year, but the summer months, its low season, offer a chance to explore more peacefully. Fewer tourists and a more relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal time to discover its landscapes and culture.

This Christmas, we have prepared a trip to Vietnam with unique landscapes, ancient temples and lively local markets. Departing on 20 December for 16 days, it invites us to celebrate Christmas with the Black Tai ethnic group and see in the New Year on the beach.
With turquoise waters, stunning rock formations and a rich history, this natural wonder alone is worth a trip to Vietnam.
The Halong Bay It is so beautiful that everyone who visits is impressed. You probably know it lies in the north of the country, in Quang Ninh province, on the Gulf of Tonkin. A little further north, China begins.
Sapa is much more than a tourist destination; it is a melting pot of cultures, a living testimony of harmonious coexistence between the Hmong, Dao, Tay, Zay and Xa Pho ethnic groups. From the vibrant palette of traditional costumes to the ancient melodies that resonate in the hills, each corner of Sapa tells a unique story that reflects the richness of ethnic diversity.
Running fast into the future. In Vietnam, the 21st century coexists with traditional rice fields, the junks of Halong Bay and vegetation ready to fill any empty space.

Our range of trips to Vietnam this summer 2023, brings together everything travellers imagine about Southeast Asia: a true postcard from the other side of the world. But Vietnam also means cutting-edge technology and bustling activity 24 hours a day: a world far removed from rural areas.
On many occasions we travel to know new things and discover wonderful places, landscapes and sensations. But there's something else, without which travel would make no sense. Something that vividly reflects all the above, the true essence of the place: local population.
Over our many years of experience we have travelled the world, crossing paths with men, women and children from every corner of the globe. Sometimes they greeted us with smiles; at other times with wise, innocent or curious looks. In every case, their faces have remained etched in our memories and those of our travellers, becoming part of us and ensuring we never forget them.
In their honour, we have put together a collection of images of people we have met on our travel. They are the faces of the human diversity.
Near the city of Siem Reap, in Cambodia, is the sacred city of Angkor, a region that was the heart of the Khmer Empire. Its temples were long engulfed by the relentless advance of the jungle (except Angkor Wat), now stand tall, offering spectacular views.
Angkor It currently has 910 temples, making it a major site of historical and cultural interest. It is therefore an essential stop on our Asian routes, naturally those through Cambodia, but sometimes also those through neighbouring Vietnam or Thailand.
