Trip Overview:

This 12-day Vietnamese vacation takes you across the country from Hanoi to Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. It features first-class accommodations and private tours. 

Your journey begins in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital and one of the most appealing and elegant capitals in Southeast Asia. A full day city tour will showcase the city’s historical landmarks and cultural appeal. During your tour, you’ll visit Ba Dinh Square, home to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, which contains the embalmed body of the communist leader, the important Buddhist temple of One Pillar Pagoda, the former imperial citadel of Thang Long, your choice of a local museum, and the winding alleys and hidden shops of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. 

From Hanoi, head for the coast and reach Halong Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world, known for its thousands of karst islands jutting out of the shimmering waters. You’ll board a traditional junk boat for an overnight cruise on the bay, visiting local caves and grottoes and enjoying the peerless view from the water. Back on the mainland, connect back to Hanoi and fly south to Hue in Central Vietnam.

Hue was once the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty and is home to Vietnam’s greatest imperial treasures. A half day tour will take you through the city and along the Perfume River to explore its rich history and beautiful landmarks. Begin with a cruise along the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda, the tallest religious building in Vietnam, where you’ll disembark to explore for a bit before continuing to the Imperial Citadel, an opulent fortress that was home to royals before Vietnam was colonized, and the Royal Fine Arts Museum, which houses many of the greatest treasures. 

Head along the coastline to Hoi An via the Cloudy Pass, stopping in the fishing village of Lang Co en route. In Hoi An, you’ll head on a walking tour through the old colonial township, which is widely-considered the most beautiful and relaxing resort spot in Vietnam. You’ll stroll alongside beautiful old colonial buildings and through lively markets, while also spotting landmarks such as the 400-year-old Japanese bridge. You’ll have two full days at leisure in Hoi An to relax on the beach and enjoy the pleasures of the township and nearby settlements. In the 1960s, the stretch of beach between Danang and Hoi An was known as “China Beach,” and it continues to be a popular beach haven for locals and travellers alike. 

Head just north to the airport in Danang and fly south to Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in the country and a sprawling metropolis formerly known as Saigon. A half-day tour will take you across the city to learn about the end of the Vietnam War, as well as Vietnam’s imperial past. During your tour, you’ll visit the Reunification Palace, formerly the Presidential Palace of South Vietnam, the Museum of Vietnamese History, and the Jade Emperor Pagoda, known for its intricate Taoist carvings and enchanting atmosphere. While based in Ho Chi Minh City, you’ll also head outside of the city to explore the Mekong Delta, a lush region of rice paddies, fishing villages, and canals that is the rice bowl of the nation. Another day, visit the Cu Chi Tunnels to see the elaborate network of underground fortifications and passages that allowed the Viet Cong to wage guerilla warfare during the Vietnam War. 

At the end of your stay, connect to the airport in Ho Chi Minh City for your departure.
