See What Our Guests are Saying

Nice experience, very customer-oriented company fast and easy booking, very fast reaction. Mr. Bien a well-prepared guide and enthusiastic. You should try this experience.

JonnoMelbourne

I now refer my friends, family and colleagues, as well as book all of my tours, accommodation and flights with Maika because I feel very lucky to have finally found an organisation in Asia that gives me the confidence to do so.

The tour was very well organized, and the guide spoke very good English. We got to see and experience so many things: Besides visiting a pagoda and Buddha statue, we also went on a boat ride (with a stop to enjoy a coconut drink) and visited local businesses producing rice paper, conical hats and mats. We had fresh fruit and tea for a snack and Pho soup for lunch which was delicious! We had such a good day and would highly recommend this tour!

We went on this tour, two families of four, with children aged 9-12 years old. We were really happy with it and highly recommend. Lin was our guide and she was fantastic, would really do a trip with her again. It was nice to do this privately and easy to adjust with Lin if needed. Maika helped us book the accommodation in Can Tho which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend and for sure do again.

PaulSoltheran

You did a great job looking after all of our family of 7. The kids enjoyed all the tours and especially the Mekong cruise …as did we……because the kids were so happy we got to enjoy some time to ourselves too. I would recommend Maika Tours if your thinking of visiting Vietnam!

Complex and Compelling

Vietnam, a nation with a long history, boasts a wealth of natural and cultural treasures. Vietnamese Buddhism has given rise to unbelievable religious structures. Rivers such as the Mekong run throughout the country, adorned with picturesque islands. Welcoming villages rest along their shores. Its street food has become a must for international foodies. Cities such as Hanoi bustle with energy and ancient places such as Hoi An welcome travelers. All told, Vietnam is simply a feast for the senses.

Destination Must-See's

Halong Bay:

According to legend, Halong Bay—or “descending dragon bay”—was formed when a god sent down a dragon that was the source of the 1,600 limestone pillars that populate the bay. Now you can wind your way through this karst landscape by boat and view these impressive outcroppings, some of which rise up more than 300 feet. Most are uninhabited, but those that are provide a prime habitat for fishermen. Halong Bay was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994.

Hoi An Ancient Town:

Located at the mouth of the Thu Bon River, Hoi An’s ancient town is an example of a well-preserved South-East Asian trading port. Most active from the 15th to the 19th centuries, the influence of Chinese and European travelers combined with that of the local inhabitants to make Hoi An exceptional. Its structures are mostly made of wood, and include more than a thousand timber-frame buildings. While its economic contributions today are primarily from fishing, the trading port’s decline in the late 19th century helped it retain its traditional urban atmosphere. Hoi An Ancient Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999.

Hue Complex of Monuments — Hue City:

Hue was established as the capital of unified Vietnam in 1802, and until 1945 it was a key political, cultural and religious center. Today it is a fine example of a unique feudal capital. The Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam’s last royal dynasty, left its indelible mark here. Hoang Thanh (Imperial City), Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden Purple City), the Imperial Residence, and other royal palaces comprise the Hue Complex. Wars and natural disasters took their toll; in response the area was designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1993. This has led to the restoration of 132 monuments so far.

My Son Sanctuary—Hoi An:

My Son means “Kingdom of Cham.” This cluster of partially ruined temples and tombs sprang from the ancient Champa Kingdom of southern Vietnam. The religious buildings, made of red bricks and sandstone, were constructed from the 4th to 13th centuries—spanning 10 centuries of continuous development. The sacred Thu Bon River flows past the monuments, which have Hindu rather than Buddhist origins and were devoted to Hindu divinities such as Shiva. Partially destroyed by the U.S. during the Vietnam War, 70 structures remain and have been safeguarded by UNESCO since 1999.

Destination Must-Do's

Travel by boat:

One of the longest rivers in the world, the 2,500-mile-long Mekong River runs through Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand in addition to Vietnam in its “lower course.” Partake of a cruise on this bustling river and experience the Mekong Delta like a native. Don’t let the name fool you: a “junk boat” is an ancient Chinese sailing vessel with striking rectangular sails, and is the perfect way to cruise the emerald waters of Halong Bay. View rice paddy fields and the 1,000+ limestone “islands.” A cruise along the Perfume River reveals Hue’s Imperial past. Wind your way through the Capital City, the Imperial City, the Forbidden Purple City, and the Inner City. Traveling by boat is truly an ideal way to get to know Vietnam.

The Vietnam War:

Or, as the Vietnamese call it, the American War. One cannot escape the vestiges of the war when in Vietnam. In response, the Vietnamese government has developed a nationwide network of war memorial theme parks. The Vietnam War memorial park in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is host to the Cu Chi Tunnels. During the war, the Viet Cong dug tens of thousands of miles of tunnels that run underneath the Cu Chi district. The term “tunnel rats” was born here. They are now a popular tourist destination.

A pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves that is associated with the Buddhist temple complex. Vietnam has many pagodas worth a visit. The Thien Mu Pagoda, or the Heavenly Lady Pagoda, is located in Hue, on the north bank of the Perfume River. One of Vietnam’s oldest and most remarkable religious buildings, construction on the seven-tiered Thien Mu Pagoda began in 1601. The Mia Pagoda, located near Hanoi, is known for its statues. It has 287 Buddha statues, each with its own expression, design and color. Hanoi’s One Pillar Pagoda is located in a lotus pond. It is said to represent a lotus flower, the Buddhist symbol of purity. Built of wood on a single stone pillar, the One Pillar Pagoda is one of Vietnam’s most iconic Buddhist temples.

Get a taste of Vietnam:

What better way to experience Vietnam than through its food? When in Hoi An, you can visit a market, interact with vendors, and learn about traditional ingredients. Afterward, enjoy a lunch made with these ingredients. In the rural Ky Son Village, a local chef demonstrates local culinary traditions before a lunch highlighting regional cuisine. Visit the Tra Que Herb Village, a small farming community. Observe the farmers tending their crops and sample some local delicacies. Savor the experience!

The Water Puppet performance is a northern Vietnamese art form, which paints the story of rural life in Vietnam a thousand years ago. The puppeteers stand in waist-high water to represent flooded rice fields and you’ll be swept up in the legends they tell through their dancing puppets.

Visit Cua Van Fishing Village

We’ll visit the ancient Cua Van Fishing Village on our Halong Bay cruise, and stop to meet the locals who live in the traditional floating houses. It’s the largest fishing village in Halong Bay, with around 180 floating houses set on gentle waters surrounded by beautiful limestone mountains.

Our top 5 things to do in Vietnam

Our Vietnam vacation packages reveal the magic of the country, from the magnificent Halong Bay and the ancient citadel of Hue, to the local farmers in Hoi An.

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

Located in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the final resting place of President Ho Chi Minh, the iconic Vietnamese Revolutionary leader. Known to his people as ‘Uncle Ho’, his body is preserved in a glass case and protected by a military honor guard.

Temple of Literature

One of Hanoi’s most beautiful sites, the Temple of Literature is an ancient complex built in 1070 and dedicated to Confucius and scholars. It’s also home to the Imperial Academy, Vietnam’s first university and you can see the historic pavilions, turtle steles, courtyards, a lake of literature and the Well of Heavenly Clarity.

My Son Temples

The My Son Temples are a complex of ancient Hindu temples, built between the 4th and 14th century to worship the god Shiva. It was once the site of royal religious ceremonies and the burial place for Cham royalty, and today you can explore the ruins of this UNESCO-listed site.

Best museums in Vietnam

Our Vietnam escorted tours will reveal the country’s best museums, from the ancient My Son Temples to the resting place of President Ho Chi Minh.

One of Vietnam’s most famous dishes, pho is a noodle soup that’s loved all over the world. It’s made from a slow-stewed beef broth poured over rice noodles, and topped with slices of chicken or beef. You can also add a variety of herbs, sauces and chilli to your tastes.

Also known as rice paper spring rolls, goi cuon are light and fresh rolls with plenty of flavor. A rice paper wrapping is filled with bean sprouts, lettuce, meat or tofu and other crunchy vegetables. It’s best served with a sweet or spicy sauce for dipping.

Banh xeo is a thin crepe filled with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts and fresh herbs. It’s a classic northern Vietnamese dish with French influences, and the best way to eat it is cut it up in bite-sized pieces, roll it up in lettuce leaves and dunk it into the zesty side sauces.

Best food in Vietnam

An organised trip to Vietnam with Trafalgar will ensure you taste the best of Vietnam’s incredible cuisine, from warm bowls of pho to fresh goi cuon rolls.
