Ha Noi - Ha Long
Bay - Hue - Hoi An - Da Nang - Ho Chi Minh City
(10 days / 9 nights)
This trip is for the traveler with limited time, who wants to experience
as much of the country as possible and visit the most popular destinations.
By flying or traveling on the overnight train, we are able to maximize
the places you visit.
Highlights include the capital
city of Ha Noi, the starting point for the tour, with its fascinating
Old Quarter, sometimes known as the "36 streets of 36 wares"
and the French quarter with some classic examples of French colonial
architecture. The wonders of Ha Long Bay, now listed as a world Heritage
site are not to be missed. While here we are able to relax on a board
while cruising the pristine emerald waters and enjoy a fresh local seafood
lunch served on board.
While in Hue, the Old Imperial
city in the 18th and 19th centuries, we cycle
around to some of the old emperors' tombs and pagodas, enjoy the cruise
on the Perfume River and visit the Imperial Citadel. In
the picturesque port town of Hoi An, there is plenty of time to discover
the delights of this ancient trading town, which was once the end of
the famous silk route. From the 16th century the Dutch, Portuguese,
Japanese, Chinese and Arabs came here to trade for high-grade silks,
spices and ceramics, many of which are still produced in the area.
Flight to the vibrant Ho
Chi Minh city, you will visit the amazing Cu Chi tunnels, Tay Ninh and
tour the city with its street markets, sidewalk cafes, sleek new pubs,
pagodas and museums before the tour finishes.
*** If you like, you can combine this program with
the program for swimming holiday.
Suggestion: 4 days more on beach.
