Lunar New Year (Tết)
Roong Pooc Festival
From north to south, Vietnam unfolds as a mosaic of landscapes, cultures, and emotions. In the north, misty mountains and terraced rice fields are home to ethnic minorities preserving ancestral traditions. Vibrant cities such as Hanoi and Hue follow, where colonial heritage meets imperial elegance. The central region offers lagoons, wild beaches, and living craftsmanship, while the south opens onto the bustling Mekong Delta, teeming with life. Each region tells its own story, yet all resonate with the same intensity, the essence of a deeply human, generous, and multifaceted Vietnam.
My name is Tói, and for the past 13 years, I have been guiding travelers along the hidden paths of Northern Vietnam. Here, the scenery changes at every turn: terraced rice fields clinging to the mountains, valleys wrapped in mist, villages where time seems to stand still. What I seek to share is not only what you see, but what you feel — the atmosphere, the simple gestures, the genuine encounters.
A journey here means walking in the footsteps of those who still cultivate the land by hand, pausing to enjoy tea offered by a stranger, sharing an impromptu meal at the edge of a cornfield. It is also about discovering the strength of traditions: a market that brings an entire village together, an altar in every home honoring the ancestors, a colorful festival found at the bend of a trail.
What moves me most are the looks, the smiles, the natural curiosity between people. Vietnam is a welcoming country, and every encounter can become a precious memory. If you dream of grand landscapes, simple and sincere moments, and a journey that takes its time… then I would be delighted to open the doors to this authentic Northern Vietnam for you.

Four days to soak in the gentle charm of Central Vietnam. In Hoi An, wander through lantern-lit streets, try your hand at Vietnamese cooking, glide in a traditional basket boat among the coconut palms, and cycle between rice fields and artisan villages. In the evening, entrust a wish to the river, illuminated by the soft flicker of a lantern. Then comes Hue, the former imperial capital: explore the Forbidden City, ancestral pagodas, and the rituals of another era. A journey of contrasts, blending living traditions with royal heritage.

A journey through Northern Vietnam blending ethnic immersion, breathtaking nature, and refined tranquility. In Bac Ha, the Sunday market and the colorful Flower Hmong set the tone. Then head to Hoang Su Phi, the kingdom of terraced rice fields, for two nights of hiking and serenity at Panhou Retreat. The stay concludes at Melia Ba Vi, a peaceful haven overlooking the mountains, before a final stop in the ancient village of Duong Lam. An enriching loop that combines authenticity with natural elegance.

In two days, follow the traces of Vietnam’s underground history and let yourself be carried away by the gentle rhythm of the Mekong Delta. From the Cu Chi tunnels to the floating markets of Can Tho, enjoy boat rides, local tastings, warm encounters, and authentic scenes of daily life.
