Detailed Description

The splendor of Vietnam can be seen in the cities and the countryside, shining in the landscape and overflowing in the gregariousness of the people. On this eight-day tour of the country’s highlights you will explore the past and present cultures that have created one of the most unique areas of the world. Find the remarkable architecture of the Imperial City and the grace of Hoan Kiem Lake. Enjoy the delicate flavors of the cuisine and witness the legends of both the scenery and people. You will not just be visiting the highlights of Vietnam, but will also be making memories of your own. 

Your trip to Vietnam begins in Ho Chi Minh City, known affectionately to locals as Saigon. The city is a vibrant picture of the modern day country, where the traditional culture continues to thrive within the shadow of the skyscrapers along the Saigon River. You are met by your private guide and taken through the city to see the tremendous life, from the Thien Hau Pagoda to the Binh Tay Market. The following day you will visit a small rice paper factory before continuing onward to the Cu Chi Tunnels; the network of the channels beneath the earth are maze-like. Later in the day you will fly to Danang and come to the elegant city of Hoi An, a historic trading post. A tour through Hoi An brings you to the charismatic buildings of the Old City and the floating lanterns that dangle and jingle in the breeze. 

Outside of Hoi An you will explore the Marble Mountains and the Cham Museum of Danang followed by a drive over the gorgeous Hai Van Pass arriving in the old Imperial City of Hue. Step onto a dragon boat and float down the Perfume River to witness the majesty of the city’s history, from the Tien Mu Pagoda to a collection of emperors’ tombs. Later in the day you will catch your flight to Hanoi and settle into the diverse culture that energizes the streets. Venture through the city on a guided tour finding the old and new charm of the neighborhoods, from the Temple of Literature to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Your final full day in Vietnam will bring you to Ha Long Bay traversing the waterway to absorb the quintessential splendor of the landscape, from the caves to the karsts. The following day you will be taken to the airport for your flight home.
