			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vietnam is a really great destination if you have 2 or 3 weeks. It is a long and thin country, so decisions about what route to take are nice and simple: you can either travel from the South to the North or from the North to the South (it is about 1750 km between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City).</p>
<p>One thing is for sure, this is a great country if you want to see and do loads. Where you stop and what you do along the way is where we can help you.</p>
<p>Luxury Travel caters for independent travellers who don&#8217;t want to do a group tour, but do want to maximize their trip time and experience.</p>
<p>We know Vietnam intimately, and have created over 20 different bite sized luxury adventures, usually of 2-3 days each.</p>
<p>You can pick and mix from these to create your own unique trip. You can book as much or as little as you like, and are free to leave gaps if you want to do your own thing for a while.</p>
<p><strong>In Vietnam you might want to: </strong></p>
<p>Trek in Sapa (north of Hanoi) through dramatic hill-tribe country&#8230;but on which trek and for how long?</p>
<p>Take a trip through the Mekong Delta south of Ho Chi Minh City&#8230;but do you also want to combine this with a few days on a lush tropical island?</p>
<p>Take the train for part of your journey &#8230;which bits are best to do?</p>
<p>Relax on a stunning beach at the end of your trip&#8230;but which one is best for you ?</p>
<p>Spend a couple of lazy days on a slow boat around spectacular Halong Bay&#8230;but don&#8217;t want it to be sold out when you get there ?</p>
<p>See great places like like Hue, Mui Ne and Hoi An&#8230;but don&#8217;t want to waste time hunting for accommodation when you get there ?</p>
<p>We are here to help put it into a logical order, book up the bits you want and fill in the gaps, as we can book you’re connecting overnight trains, domestic flights, private speedboat transfers and ferries as well. We also offer Hanoi and Saigon city starter packs.</p>
<p>We have researched Vietnam thoroughly and sourced some really lovely places to stay. All are locally owned and are authentically Vietnamese. Outside of the big cities, all accommodation is low key such as on an island with only 15 beach huts, on a junk ship in Halong Bay, or in hotels with French colonial touches.</p>
<p>The end result is a personally tailored LUXURY TRAVEL, allowing you to know how you’ll spend your time in Vietnam, but do it independently once there. It really takes away the headache of arriving with nothing planned, and having to negotiate and arrange things and running the risk them being full.</p>
<p>LUXURY TRAVEL will help you to spend your holiday, on holiday, doing exactly what you want to do.</p>
<p>We are a Hanoi- based and are VNAT bonded, which means that you have 100% financial security.</p>
<p>We also provide you with 24 hours on 7 days local supports for while you are away should you need extra help while on your trip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City as it is known today is the veritable cliché –A shopper’s paradise. The main feature of shopping here in the capital of Vietnam is that it is tourist oriented, almost everything on offer is meant for consumption by the hordes of visiting tourists. Having at least a basic knowledge of bargaining would serve you well here as there are many eye catching items on display, from the usual touristy fare to elegant antiques and souvenirs.</p>
<p>The shops in Ho Chi Minh City or anywhere else in Vietnam are far from being drab; they are a riot of colour from extensive decorative work to the colorful knick knacks on display, the color is an enticing prospect for tourists. The streets of the city are lined with small outlets selling indigenously produced toys, souvenirs and clothing most of which are very reasonably priced. Shopping in Vietnam is a mix of small vendors peddling locally made handicrafts to large western style department stores selling much more up market fare.</p>
<p>The main open air markets in Ho Chi Minh are Ben Thanh Market, the Night Market and the War surplus market. The biggest of the lot is the Ben Thanh Market, which is instantly recognized by the large clock tower near the traffic circle. It is a large old school open air market with hundreds of narrow alleyways that have store fronts. Due to regular patronage by tourists the market has now morphed into a tourist attraction, many stalls now sell Vietnam t-shits and counterfeit branded jeans, caps and souvenirs.</p>
<p>The Night Market is located almost right next to the Ben Thanh Market is usually open after 5.00 pm. This market also features a few food stalls where tourists can experience some local cuisine and try a local drink. However, the most interesting market of all is definitely the War Surplus Market; this market is sometimes referred to as the American Market or “Cho Cu&#8221;. Many military items left over from the bloody American campaign against the Viet Cong rebels, that ended with large losses of life on both sides can be seen here. American war gear such as old military uniforms, GI helmets, US Marine t-shirts and old army knives can be bought here. This might be an interesting place to visit for collectors and Vietnam War veterans, though the authenticity of the ware cannot be verified.</p>
<p>For long stay travelers that visit Ho Chi Minh City for business purposes an excellent accommodation option are the Ho Chi Minh serviced apartments that are located in the heart of the city.</p>
