Hanoi

Hanoi has served as a capital city and the seat of government in Vietnam for over a thousand years. While this stimulating city is quickly transforming with modern skyscrapers rising up and beeping horns from its frenzied traffic, you can peel back its layers of history and discover a bubbling cauldron of French and Chinese influence. Explore exotic ancient monuments and remnants of colonial imperialism . In the passages of its Old Quarter, there are affable merchants to be found in night markets and at bustling street food stalls. Surrounded by lush green countryside, there is also a tranquil side to Hanoi, seen when city dwellers practice the ancient martial art of tai chi or as families sit on the pavement to slowly enjoy steaming bowls of pho (noodle soup). Located on the banks of Red River, you can enjoy a cooler climate than in the south.

Halong Bay/Lan Ha Bay

Halong Bay in the Gulf of Tonkins is a dazzling world. The name’s literal translation is the Bay of Descending Dragons, which perfectly encompasses the mysterious and mythical nature of its waters. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can witness the dense cluster of over 3,000 limestone islands as they rise spectacularly from the ocean. Several of the islands have grottos and caves, which boast spectacular stalactites and stalagmites and lead to secret freshwater lakes. Some islands, often named due to the interpretation of their unusual shapes, support floating villages that house local fishermen. With calm, crystal clear waters, coral reefs and beaches, you will understand why this is considered a most magnificent natural splendor. Geologically an extension of Halong but set in another province, Lan Ha Bay is just as beautiful as Halong Bay but far more isolated. Numerous aquatic animals inhabit these pristine waters and in addition, the bay offers several pristine white-sand beaches where you can soak up the sun.

Hoi An

Hoi An plays testament to its remarkable history as a major port town, booming with grand architecture of old Japanese merchant houses, pale yellow houses draped in bougainvillea, shopfronts lit with glowing silk lanterns, and ageing tea warehouses. Set alongside a charming river and to the backdrop of fisherwomen in conical hats, Hoi An is the epitome of a picture postcard, and unique in that it has no congestion or hullabaloo. This is in part due to Thu Bon River becoming silted in the 19th century, which prevented passage to trading ships, but also because cars are forbidden on its main roads. Motorcyclists rarely use their horns, unlike in the rest of Vietnam. With noteworthy culinary excellence you can expect the finest Vietnamese food. To top it off, the city also boasts its own pleasant beach.

Dominated by the mighty Mekong River and its many tributaries, its myriad drainage channels wind around a vast patchwork of tiny islands that are bordered by dense mangrove swamps, silt islets and palms.The Mekong Delta is one of the world’s most productive rice-growing regions, so the culture revolves around the grain, from the lush green paddy fields, to the local liquor and papercraft industry.

Chau Doc

Chau Doc is a border town in the Mekong delta between Vietnam and Cambodia. The town itself is situated on the west bank of the Bassac River and is a border crossing for river borne traffic; while the small Sam Mountain has an excellent view of the flat plain on the other side. Its midland/low mountain location affords it is a little cooler climate than many other areas of Vietnam at certain times of the year. The local minority groups are easily identified by their darker skins and a chequered scarf instead of Vietnam’s ubiquitous conical hat! They add color and variety to this region and this is most apparent in the traditional fabrics and clothes worn, as well as the local architecture which merges the Chinese, Khmer and Hindu influences that crossed these areas at different times in history.

What Our Guests Say

Enchanting Travels made our trip entirely stress free and easy. This meant we were able to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam and Cambodia. All our guides, drivers, hotel staff, and trip coordinators were so so wonderful and a pleasure to interact with- Can’t speak highly enough about this company.

Edith Isaacs

Australia

Enchanting Travels exquisitely prepared our excursion from top-to-bottom based on our initial discussions regarding our desires for our trip. From cities, sites, tours, hotels, & activities, we were immersed in our favorite style of travel: get involved in activities [culinary class, organic farming, yes – and of course care of the elephants], great knowledgeable guides, local food tasting as one priority, and trying different modes of local transport [from car, boat, bicycle, Cyclo-cross, Tuk-Tuk, Long Boat, gondola, canoe, Vespa scooter, and even a bamboo raft]. The hotels were specifically selected for their local style, and the sites were all well represented and included off-the-beaten path historical and natural treasures. The oversight of our trip via the App as well as 24/7 coordinator involvement made it totally hassle-free.

Marek Mirski

USA

Enchanting Travels and their staff put together a trip of a lifetime. We hadn’t traveled to Asia before and were nervous about what to expect or how to navigate once we were there. We also really didn’t know what we wanted to do other than a few expectations. We went to four countries with multiple hotels, flights and boat excursions. I cannot believe that the 5 week trip went off with out any hitches! Everything was so smooth and effortless. We did not worry about anything the whole time we were there. It was comforting to know that our trip coordinator was there for us if we needed her and she certainly responded quickly if we did have a need or question. The choices for hotels that Enchanting Travels recommended were superb and the guides and driver were knowledgeable and fun. I can not speak more highly of all of their services and plan on using them again for another big trip.

Candace Morton

USA

We had a wonderful tour of Vietnam. Our itinerary was very thoughtfully organized with great attention to detail. Many of the activities suggested were excellent and the logistics are all handled crispy. We really appreciate the custom aspects of Enchanting’s itineraries. Having one on one time with very knowledgeable guides is indispensable. From the moment we arrived in Hanoi airport to the minute we left Saigon we were treated royally. Excellent service

Debra Pryhitko

Canada

We had a wonderful trip to South East Asia organized by Enchanting Travels. The organization was seamless with no mishaps. Guides were very pleasant and informative and activities and sights seen were incredible. We hope to book another trip with enchanted travel in the future.

Jacquelynn Schouls

Canada

Enchanting Travels planned the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I to Thailand and Cambodia. I normally plan my trips on my own and I was a bit hesitant to use a travel company. There is no question that I would use Enchanting Travels again in the future. Everything from the accommodations to the logistics of travel between locations to the tours and tour guides were top notch. We felt secure and relaxed throughout our trip because we knew that the experts at Enchanting Travels were handling our plans. We have made so many amazing memories from all of our wonderful experiences and would not hesitate to use Enchanting Travels again for future destinations.
