Day 1: Arrival in Hanoi and City Tour

When you arrive at Hanoi International Airport, our local representative will be there to greet you. They will take you to the hotel for check-in. After settling in, we'll start our city tour. First, we'll visit the Temple of Literature, which is the first university in Vietnam. Then, we'll head to Ba Dinh Square, the largest square in Hanoi, where many important cultural events take place. Next, we'll take a "cyclo" ride, a kind of bicycle taxi, to explore the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Along the way, we'll stop at Ngoc Son Temple. Finally, we'll return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Hanoi.

Day 2: Hanoi to Halong

After a delicious breakfast, today, we will head to Halong Bay, a special place recognized by UNESCO as a Natural World Heritage site. On the way, we'll pass through the Red River delta, where you'll see green fields and villages with hardworking farmers busy with their farming tasks like ploughing and planting. Once we reach Halong, we'll hop on a big boat to cruise around the bay and explore its amazing beauty. Halong Bay is famous for its unique limestone rocks and small island caves. After having lunch on the boat, we can visit a cave, go for a swim, or try kayaking (additional cost). We'll also pass by floating villages and get close to small islands to appreciate their beauty. In the evening, there will be activities on the boat, or you can simply relax. Lunch and dinner are included. We'll spend the night on the boat.

Day 3: Halong - Hanoi - Danang - Hoi An

Get up early and have a delightful breakfast and get ready to see the beautiful sunrise over the sea, which the Vietnamese call the "East Sea." It's a magical sight over the small islands in the bay. After breakfast, our boat will keep cruising through amazing areas, each small island with its own unique name, like Sail Island, Fisherman’s Head Rock, Butterfly Rock, or Turtle Island.

Then, we'll drive back to Hanoi and head to Noi Bai International Airport for a flight to Danang. Upon arrival, we'll be welcomed at the airport and taken to the coast to reach Hoi An Ancient Town. Check in at the hotel and spend the night in Hoi An.

Day 4: Hoi An City Tour

Wake up for a mouthwatering breakfast. Today you will have a fascinating walk on the Japanese Bridge with its unique tile roof. We'll visit quiet Chinese Assembly Halls and explore the charm of ancient houses. You can also listen to folk music from Central Vietnam at old clubhouses. Later, we can visit shrines or wander into the market by the Thu Bon river. Here, you might feel like the artists who see Hoi An's rooftops as a magical, old-world place with an Oriental touch and a reliable source of inspiration.

Hoi An is also an amazing town for shopping. You can buy lanterns, soft silk, raw silk, or even get your clothes tailored in just one day. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the town on your own or take a bike ride along the Thu Bon river to Cua Dai Beach. Tonight, we'll stay at the hotel in Hoi An.

Day 5: Hoi An to Hue City Tour

Start your day with a tasty breakfast. Today, we're heading from Hoi An to Hue through the Hai Van Pass, also known as the "Ocean Cloudy Mountain Pass." Along the way, we'll enjoy the beautiful view of Lang Co Beach before arriving in Hue.

Hue has been recognized by UNESCO as Vietnam's 1st Cultural World Heritage site, known for its old royal buildings and traditional Vietnamese way of life. We'll explore the city's charm by visiting the Royal Citadel, Forbidden City, and the Hue Royal Museum. Our tour will continue to the Thien Mu Pagoda, and we'll also check out the Tombs of King Tu Duc, which are well-preserved monuments from the early 19th and early 20th centuries belonging to the Nguyen Emperors.

Once you arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Saigon, we'll welcome you and take you to the hotel for check-in. In the evening, our city tour begins at the Reunification Palace, where the Vietnam War ended in 1975. It's now a museum and a place for official receptions. Nearby, you'll see the colonial-style Central Post Office and the Notre Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883, which is a major landmark in the city.

Take a stroll on Nguyen Hue Street to snap some photos of the Opera House and the Ho Chi Minh Committee (from the outside). Then, walk to Ben Thanh Market, a significant symbol of Saigon, where you can experience local daily life and shop for handmade goods. Tonight, you'll stay at the hotel in Saigon.

Day 7: Saigon – Cu Chi Tunnels

After breakfast today, we'll go visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, which is one of the few remaining reminders of the Vietnam War. These tunnels, stretching for 200 kilometres, were dug by hand and used by Vietnamese guerrilla forces during the war. It's a powerful example of how intense the war was. You can even try crawling through some parts of the tunnels to get a real feel for what it was like.

After exploring the tunnels, we'll return to Saigon and drop you off at your hotel. In the evening, you have free time for shopping (no services provided). There are a few places you might want to check out, like Ben Thanh Market – the main market in Saigon, Saigon Square (just a few minutes' walk from Ben Thanh Market), An Dong Plaza and its nearby Market, or Diamond Plaza. Tonight, you'll stay at the hotel in Saigon.

Day 8: Saigon - Mekong Delta - Saigon

Today, after having breakfast, you'll head to My Tho. Once there, you'll hop on a boat to cruise along the powerful Mekong River, watching how local people live along the riverbanks. We'll make a stop at one of the four islands in the area for some sightseeing. Next, you'll take small boats rowed by locals through narrow canals with water coconut trees. Here, you'll visit local factories, taste honey tea, and see how coconut candy milk is made. Afterward, enjoy a peaceful horse-cart ride through the village's quiet roads. Your light lunch will be at a nearby local restaurant by the Mekong River (lunch included). In the afternoon, we'll drive back to Saigon, with a stop to visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, a famous pagoda blending Chinese, Cambodian, and French architectural styles.
