Hanoi to Saigon Tour

Your Hanoi adventure begins in the morning as the tour guide greets you at the hotel around 8:00. The first stop is the Ho Chi Minh Complex, where you can pay respect to Vietnam’s beloved leader and explore the peaceful grounds, including the modest stilt houses where he once lived. A visit to the iconic One Pillar Pagoda, one of the most unique temples in the world, adds a special cultural touch to the start of your journey. Around mid-morning, you’ll continue to the Museum of Ethnology (or the Women’s Museum on Mondays) for an engaging look into the traditions of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups.

By lunchtime, at around 12:30, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant and taste authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The afternoon unfolds with visits to Tran Quoc Pagoda, a serene lakeside sanctuary dating back to the 6th century, and the historic Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, founded in 1070. Later, around 15:30, the tour leads you to Hoa Lo Prison, once known as “Maison Centrale” and remembered as “Hell on Earth,” where powerful exhibits tell stories of resilience during Vietnam’s fight against colonial rule. By 16:30, you return to your hotel for some leisure time.

As the sun sets, prepare for an evening filled with flavor and energy. Stroll through Hanoi’s vibrant streets and hidden alleys, where sizzling woks and fragrant herbs signal the start of your street food adventure. From the comforting warmth of pho to the smoky flavors of bun cha and the crunchy satisfaction of a banh mi, every bite reflects the city’s culinary soul. Sweet treats like che and refreshing goi cuon complete the experience, leaving you with lasting memories of Hanoi’s food culture before the night winds down.

After enjoying breakfast and checking out of your hotel in Hanoi, embark on a scenic 2.5–3-hour drive through the countryside to Halong Port. Upon arrival, the cruise team will welcome you warmly with refreshing drinks before you step aboard. Soon after, a freshly prepared lunch is served as your vessel glides into the emerald waters, surrounded by Halong Bay’s towering limestone cliffs.

The afternoon brings a variety of activities, from exploring hidden corners of the bay to simply relaxing on deck and taking in the awe-inspiring views. As the sun begins to set, retreat to the sundeck or your private cabin before gathering for a delicious dinner onboard. When night falls, sink into the tranquility of your cabin, cherishing the unique experience of sleeping on the bay.

Awaken with the first light of dawn and savor a leisurely breakfast as Ha Long Bay slowly stirs to life around you. The cruise glides past dramatic limestone karsts and emerald waters, offering one last chance to soak in the breathtaking beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

After check-out, a delightful farewell brunch awaits before you disembark at the harbor. A comfortable drive brings you back to Hanoi, where you’ll have some free time before heading to Noi Bai Airport for your onward flight to Ho Chi Minh City.

On arrival in the vibrant southern metropolis, you’ll be warmly greeted and transferred to your hotel. The evening is yours to explore the bustling streets, taste local flavors, or simply unwind. Overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh City.

Your day begins with an exciting journey through the vibrant heart of Ho Chi Minh City. Step into history at the Independence Palace, feel the weight of powerful stories at the War Remnants Museum, and admire the timeless elegance of Notre Dame Cathedral and the grand Saigon Central Post Office. Each landmark whispers tales of a city that has gracefully blended resilience with charm.

After a delightful local lunch, the adventure continues to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels. Here, you’ll uncover the remarkable underground world that sheltered and sustained soldiers during the Vietnam War, a place that stands as a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people. Walking through these historic tunnels, it’s impossible not to be moved by the spirit of endurance that shaped the nation’s history.

As the day winds down, the journey back to the city gives you time to reflect on all you’ve seen - moments of discovery, emotion, and admiration that will stay with you long after the tour ends.

Your journey to the Mekong Delta begins with a drive through vibrant countryside before arriving in My Tho, where the beauty of the river comes to life. Step aboard a boat and glide past lush green landscapes, watching local life unfold along the banks. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of coconut candy as you stop at family-run workshops, discover the art of puffed rice making, and take in the charm of village life on Thoi Son Islet.

Drift peacefully on a sampan through narrow canals shaded by water palms, and enjoy a hearty lunch of Mekong specialties that capture the flavors of the region. Afterward, cycle gently through quiet village paths or relax by the riverside, letting the slow rhythm of the Delta sink in.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll carry with you the serene beauty and warm hospitality of the Mekong, a memory to treasure long after returning to bustling Ho Chi Minh City.
