Northern Vietnam Walking Tour with Butterfield & Robinson

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be anxious to get outdoors by the time spring rolls around. In the spirit of “it’s never too early,” you can begin planning now for sunny adventures with the new The Road Less Travelled Northern Vietnam Walking luxury tour from Butterfield & Robinson.

This trip includes multiple opportunities to set off on foot to discover the beauty, culture, history and fascinating culinary traditions of Northern Vietnam.

Dates determine specific itinerary details, but a sample tour of the country’s sensory-rich locations begins in Hanoi, with visits to Hoan Kiem Lake, the city’s lively Old Quarter, and guided Cyclo jaunts to explore temples and fortresses. Learning about the country’s coffee culture also comprises part of the experience, along with chef-led cooking classes and plenty of time to shop and peruse museums.

Long hikes will take in peaceful countryside locations beyond the city, where rice fields and limestone cliffs make up the landscape. Along the way, meet members of the Tay community and visit with local farmers who use centuries-old agricultural traditions.
