Hardly any history section, the highlights of the area are not very clear, accommodation and food is no longer at the end of the area’s section but placed along the city at the bottom across several pages or on the side so you need to flick several pages to find what you want. As motorbikes tend to drive closely to each other, keep your feet pointed inwards and think of wearing closed shoes which offer extra protection for your feet. For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin. This is a pretty good guidebook with good maps, information on many sights, background information, but some weaknesses in information on transportation.

Accommodation recommendations limited to 3 names per city at the bottom of a page, no address, no phone number. Vietnam is probably not the most obvious place to visit on holiday although I think it's one of the more places to visit for students on their gap year. You’ll also find having a local phone number handy for meeting up with tour guides and making last-minute bookings on the road.

Inebriated tourists wandering back to their hotel in the morning hours when there is little traffic around can be seen as easy targets.

I'd prefer less information on the war and more about other periods, but a lot of people probably still think 'war' when they hear Vietnam.Kayak through Halong Bay, sample street food in Hanoi and immerse yourself in a rich history; all with your trusted travel companion. It seemed like a lot of the recommendations were for upscale western style places so wandering around and picking street food or hole-in-the-walls served as equally well and was cheaper.
