tour details
We have designed this journey for travellers keen to experience the diversity of Vietnam, but with limited time to spare.
Starting in the North, you’ll soak up the hustles and bustles of Hanoi’s Old Quarter before cruising on a traditional junk boat through scenic Halong Bay. Travel to Hue, either by plane or by train, the former imperial capital of Vietnam and visit the historical landmarks including Emperor Tu Duc’s elaborate tomb, Imperial Citadel, and Thien Mu Pagoda with a boat trip on the Perfume River. You will then continue with a drive over Hai Van Pass to Hoi An, a major Asian trading port of the 17th and 18th centuries, whose architecture and relaxed lifestyle has changed little over the years. Strolling through the lantern-filled streets and riverside promenade of Hoi An Ancient Town. Leaving Hoi An, you will fly to Ho Chi Minh City for 2 nights stay with a visit to the amazing Cu Chi Tunnels and vibrant metropolitan city formerly known as Saigon, where you will see the landmarks depicting its glorious colonial past and the atrocities of the Vietnam War until the country’s reunification in 1975. Complete your panorama tour of Vietnam with a trip to the Mekong Delta. You will be amazed at the labyrinth of waterways while taking boat trips to visit the lush fruit orchards and family handicraft workshops. After a night in Can Tho, which is often dubbed as the capital city of the Mekong Delta, you will visit the bustling floating market in Cai Rang to observe the unique trading life on the river before returning to the metropolitan Ho Chi Minh City for one more night before departure for your next destination.
