There will also be chance to get a taste of rural Vietnamese life on a tour tailored to you.

There is also time to enjoy a cookery school which incorporates a walking tour of the atmospheric morning markets with a cookery lesson and lunch.

Hoi An itself is a great place to explore with pretty lantern and camellia lined streets and excellent restaurants, we recommend visiting early or late to dodge the busiest times. Hoi An is famous for its numerous tailors who will copy or design clothes, the prices are fantastic and the range of silks and other materials is endless.

You'll travel with your guide overland to Hue via the Hai Van Cloudy Pass, a spectacular three hour coastal drive with numerous photo opportunities on the way. On arrival you check-in at La Residence Hotel on the banks of the Perfume River.

The old city and the Hoan Kiem Lake, a beautiful place to watch the sunset are both a stones throw away. There are several museums, shops and excellent eateries along Hanoi's tree-lined boulevards and its a great city to spend a few days.
