Hanoi Jeep Tour and Saigon Street Food Tour with Local Students were voted among the world's top 25 experiences by Tripadvisor users. These two categories are part of the annual Travelers' Choice Best of the Best awards, voted by Tripadvisor travelers worldwide based on their real-life experiences and website feedback. Other categories will be announced later this year.

The Hanoi jeep tour ranked 10th on the list, with the rating of this experience being “unique.” Accordingly, in the tour program, visitors will have 4 hours to explore the historical destinations of the capital, enjoy attractive street food and drink beer at the rooftop bar. The price for such a journey is an average of 55 USD/person.

The compact jeep is likened to a "convertible," gliding through the crowded old streets, under the fresh, cool autumn weather, visitors can immerse themselves in the life of the local people with impressive sounds.

Ranked 14th on the list is a street food tour with local students in Ho Chi Minh City. The tour lasts 4 hours, travels by motorbike and is personalized to provide a diverse experience for each visitor.

Taking this tour, students will accompany tourists on a journey to explore the city with attractive street foods such as bread, grilled scallops with cold beer, banh xeo, hu tieu, broken rice, mixed rice paper... The price for this tour is from 25 USD/person (depending on the number of participants), including hotel pick-up service.

The list of the world's top 25 travel experiences also features a number of other activities such as a tour of the Grand Circle Island and Haleiwa town in Hawaii (USA), a cooking class in Chiang Mai (Thailand), whale watching in Juneau (Alaska) or cycling around Singapore.

Previously, at the end of May, the Thong Nhat railway (North-South railway) for the first time topped the list of 9 most spectacular train journeys voted by the famous international travel website Lonely Planet. This nearly 90-year-old railway has really impressed international tourists.

Lonely Planet experts rate the S-shaped country's nearly century-old railway line as "an incredible epic rail journey," departing from the capital Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City with a distance of about 1,730km.

Traveling by train brings many different experiences and emotions, from going through big cities to peaceful countryside, watching the peaceful daily life, enjoying beautiful natural scenery to admiring ancient historical-cultural architectural works, or simply feeling every movement of the train and immersing in relaxing moments... All of these things create an exciting adventure with a completely new perspective on destinations that seem familiar yet strange.

Although it will take more time to travel than other means of transport, this cross-Vietnam journey will certainly bring truly different, impressive and unforgettable experiences.
