Highlights:
- Classic journey Hanoi to Saigon
- Halong Bay & Mekong Delta
- Relax on a tropical beach
Your adventure starts in the charming old city of Hanoi exploring its characteristic markets and backstreets. Then you’ll travel to secluded Halong Bay for a boat trip among towering limestone cliffs and spectacular islands; a true fairytale setting. Boarding the famous Reunification Express train, you’ll head south, glimpsing scenes of rural life from the train window before arriving in Hué, the cultural capital. Here you’ll travel by boat along the Perfume River to the tombs of the ancient Nguyen dynasty.
You’ll have three nights to savour the atmosphere of the old port of Hoi An (our favourite place in Vietnam) so there’s plenty of time to explore its colourful streets and riverside market, or simply relax on a nearby beach. You’ll spend a night with a local family in the Mekong Delta & travel by boat along rural waterways. Finally, you’ll arrive in vibrant Saigon where you can explore its bustling streets and temples.
