Guests can stay at properties such as The Nam Hai
British-run boutique tour operator Come & Go Vietnam has launched a new Luxury Vietnam itinerary.
The customisable tour takes travellers to and from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with stops at destinations such as Hoi An, Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta. Featured hotels and resorts include the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, The Nam Hai and Park Hyatt Saigon, with extension possibilities in properties such as the Six Senses Con Dao. Local and international cuisine can also be sampled at Restaurant Bobby Chinn and Didier Corlou’s famous La Verticale.
Come & Go Vietnam founder and managing director, Tim Russell, said: “Vietnam has a reputation as a challenging destination to visit, but luxury travellers can now enjoy VIP arrival services at the country’s main airports as well as choose from a large and growing selection of luxury hotels and resorts, while still enjoying a programme that gets them off the tourist trail and into the real Vietnam.”
He added that travel consultants buying the tour would usually get a 10-15 per cent discount off the published rate, although no commissions were given out.
Russell explained that most of Come & Go’s clients customised their own programmes hence itineraries listed were just samples. Luxury, he stressed, was less about ostentation and more about privacy, intimacy and unique experiences.
Guests can add on some of the company’s specialist products such as history/architecture walks with local experts, trips with professional travel photographers, cooking classes/tours with famous chefs and private blessing ceremonies at temples.
