Itinerary

Your Journey starts Saigon, ends Hanoi

Days 1 - 3 - Saigon & Mekong Delta Arrive in Saigon and get to know the sites and sounds of Vietnam’s most exciting destination. A walking tour past some of the iconic sites in District One, such as the Opera House and Hotel de Ville, will help you get acquainted with Ho Chi Minh City. Take a day-trip out to the lush waterways of the Mekong Delta, where you will experience the ‘rice basket’ of this fertile region, and travel to the Cu Chi Tunnels and learn about the tenacity and resilience of the Vietnamese.
Hotel: Rex

Day 4 - Dalat Explore the Central Highlands’ beautiful French hill station, Dalat. Here you will meet the local hilltribe people and discover a fascinating market – one of the most picturesque in the country. The cooler climate in Dalat means you can enjoy a relaxing stroll around the central lake. Visit the summer residence of the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Bao Dai, before heading to the coast.
Hotel: Novotel Dalat

Days 5 - 6 - Nha Trang Drive to Nha Trang, the country’s premiere beach destination, for some sunny relaxation time. A fresh seafood lunch is served on board your boat trip around the islands off Nha Trang; take a swim, do some snorkelling or just enjoy your seaside surrounds.

Days 7 - 8 - Hoi An Enjoy the architecture, local delicacies and friendly locals that make Hoi An a true Vietnam highlight. Visit her tailors and galleries, relax at the beach or take part in a cooking demonstration. An ambient boat trip down the Thu Bon River will bring you to the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ancient Town.
