Detailed Description
Much of Vietnam’s spreading landscape is coated by untouched forests that are teeming with wildlife. A single-night stopover in Hanoi will allow you time to acclimatize to the culture, explore venerated landmarks, and sample the flavors of traditional cuisine. The following day, you will visit the wilderness that encompasses Ba Vi for your official introduction to the country’s breathtaking scenery.
Ba Vi is known for its staggering mountain range, and you will traverse its foliage-flanked slopes on your first afternoon. The next day will have you venture deep into the forest to Thien Son Waterfall. You will then visit a spirited village, where locals adorn themselves in colorful garments and highlight their ancestral roots with authentic family meals.
Next, you will fly to Dong Hoi and transfer to Phong Nha to experience Vietnam’s collection of bewildering caves. Your first day in the region will allow you to visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A guide will welcome you to the park and help you navigate the winding trails across its grounds. Your next day will take you deeper into Phong Nha to enjoy an exclusive cave tour.
The last leg of your vacation will bring you to the pristine shores of Phu Quoc island. Blanketed by a tremendous forest that spreads across the island, you can take pleasure in the balance of seaside and jungle paradise. After many adventurous exploits, you may want to relax in seclusion along the shores.

We worked with Zicasso's travel consultant at the tour company for several months in planning our two-week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. She was very accommodating and helpful, never pushy or trying to upsell us. When we had questions, she was responsive and always prompt. We really appreciated her setting up a "fast-pass" through immigration at the Hanoi and Siem Reap airports when we arrived late in the evening.
Although our itinerary was busy, with seven flights, five cities, one cruise, and multiple guides and drivers, everything went smoothly. She checked in with us throughout the trip, keeping us updated, and even took us to lunch in Saigon. We had a very memorable time on our trip and have the tour company to thank for everything. Cảm ơn!

Our trip to Northern and Central Vietnam was excellent, and we were so impressed by our Zicasso travel company. Our travel agent was extremely responsive prior to and during our trip. In the planning phase of our trip, he expertly answered all of our questions and adjusted our itinerary, as needed, promptly. During our time in Vietnam, he checked in by phone to ensure our trip was going smoothly.
We were very happy with our itinerary, the sites we visited, and all of our guides and drivers. We could tell the itinerary was planned with a lot of care and attention to detail. Just as a couple of examples, on days with longer drives, we had plenty of rest stops and opportunities to get coffee and snacks, and our guides did a great job of mixing indoor and outdoor activities to ensure we stayed as cool as possible as our trip to Vietnam was during the summer.
We'd also like to highlight the meals that were included as part of our tour. They were mostly set menus and the travel company did a wonderful job selecting each dish and taking us to restaurants with delicious food! It was a fantastic experience all-around.
