Reviews

The 10D9N Vietnam Yoga & Wellness Tour was exactly what we were looking for — a balance of sightseeing and self-care. We loved sunset yoga by the lake in Hanoi, kayaking and Tai Chi in Halong Bay, and the four relaxing days in Hoi An with morning yoga, spa treatments and local village visits. The Vespa street food tour in Ho Chi Minh City was the perfect finale. Everything was well planned, the guides were welcoming and we came home feeling refreshed and inspired.
