The Reunification Express 14 Days / 13 Nights

Why fly when you can travel on hundreds of wheels?! The famous ‘Reunification Express’ runs the entire length of Vietnam’s coast, between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, covering a staggering 1,800 km in between.

Whilst there are in fact several trains running the route these days, the experience is just as magical, with stops en route at the superb beaches of Nha Trang, the charming UNESCO-protected town of Hoi An, and the historic Imperial City of Hue, before arriving in Hanoi.

As with all our holidays, we have created lots of free time for you to enjoy as you please. If you would prefer a more ‘complete’ travel programme, we will be happy to oblige. We can also tailor this holiday to meet your exact needs - your holiday, your way.

Not only were we treated royally and terribly spoiled, but we felt we got a sense of the Japanese people, their history and their culture. It is a trip that we will always find joy in remembering. Thank you so much for all you did to make it such a memorable time for us.

We had no idea what a Microlight was going into our honeymoon, and seeing it when we arrived admittedly made us weak in the knees… But it ended up being the highlight of Zambia for us and we can’t imagine experiencing the magnitude of Victoria Falls any other way!

Tracy & Matt

April 12, 2016

It was a life changing experience and we couldn't be happier to have done it, learned so much, seen so much, and escaped from work for a couple of weeks!

If you don't have a friend overseas, Absolute Asia is like the next best thing. We found their guides so friendly and knowledgeable, that we even traded recipes and photos with a couple of them after the trip.

Geoff & Annie

April 2018

Absolute Asia nailed every aspect of our trip, immersing us in the folklore and dramatic wild beauty synonymous with the magical land, while also fitting in five star luxury…

The level of service and the itinerary were all spot on. I left feeling that within a two week time period I had seen and experienced the best of Kenya!

Seth & Nicole

Oct 2018

The planning process was excellent. My biggest concern at the outset was a lack of deep conversation from other agencies. My expectation was that someone would take the time commensurate with the cost and Jessica did exactly that

We brought our two grandchildren, ages 12 and 14, to South Africa to fulfill a long-held dream of ours. Attention was paid by Daniela and her colleagues to every detail and every nuance of our trip, and after all of our raves, it’s inevitable that we shall have to come back with our other seven!

Absolute Asia packed our trip with hidden secrets, insider experiences, and top notch local guides-transforming our vacation into a a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Superb!

Absolute Asia has been an invaluable partner to American Jewish World Service (AJWS). AJWS has been able to provide high-end philanthropy travel to our donors because of Absolute Travel’s attention to detail, flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile to meet our needs. Thank you for helping us to elevate our program to new heights of excellence.

Absolute Asia showed us sides of Morocco we would not have discovered on our own. Thank you for designing an unforgettable trip.

Dan & Meg

Thank you so much for all of the help. It was a trip we’ll never forget and you made it so easy...

Lori & Bill

I must say our 2 weeks in Asia has truly been the best experience of my life thus far! We truly appreciate you planning that for us.

Gary Fischman

Dec 2018

You know, when expectations are sky high, as they were for this trip, there is a very high risk of disappointment. Still, this trip exceeded our expectations. It was truly an incredible, awesome experience. Thanks again for your expertise in putting together this trip. We’ll most definitely go to Africa again in the future.

Christine Mikolajczak & Raymond

AMAZING experience. There is no way that we would’ve had the same experience if we planned this trip ourselves. Absolute Asia treated us better than we would’ve treated ourselves!
