Exclusive Vietnam Holiday we have put together for our clients
Vietnam has a way of hitting all the senses at once — the smell of pho drifting from a street stall, the roar of scooters weaving through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the quiet drift of a boat through Ha Long Bay’s limestone karsts at sunset. This 12-day journey is built to capture all of it, without you having to plan a thing.
You’ll start in Hanoi with a jeep tour through the backstreets and a coffee on Train Street, then cruise Lan Ha Bay overnight aboard the Tulip Cruise before winding through Ninh Binh’s rivers and caves and boarding an overnight train to Hue. From there it’s on to the Imperial Citadel and Khai Dinh Tomb, a dragon boat ride on the Perfume River, and the sweeping coastal drive over Hai Van Pass into Hoi An — where a basket boat ride, a visit to Tra Que Village and a hands-on cooking class round out the days, alongside the Ba Na Hills cable car and Golden Bridge. The journey finishes with a motorbike food tour through Ho Chi Minh City, a trip into the Cu Chi Tunnels, and a homestay in the Mekong Delta, ending at the Cai Rang floating market.
Twelve days, six regions, and a front-row seat to Vietnam’s history, food and everyday life — all mapped out so all you have to do is show up.
