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.

Wow wow wow! It was an absolutely amazing trip! I cannot recommend this company highly enough! It was our first time to Asia and it was incredible! From the first communication I had when we started planning our trip 6 month's prior to going to the end (and even afterwards) it was absolutely brilliant! Everything was so meticulously planned and executed and nothing was too much to ask! From the planning stages to the actual tour every question or query was rapidly answered without hesitation and with such friendliness and helpfulness! A HUGE thank you must go to Trang and Lyn for creating and executing our trip with such professionalism, dedication, friendliness and helpfulness - it was an utter joy dealing with them! I can a 100 % say that it is the best service I have EVER received!!! Vietnam and its people were breathtaking! This was also a very special and personal trip for us and Trang and Lyn made sure that it felt so special! They went above and beyond to make it special and we truly felt cared for and not just a number. Every day trip was excellent with great tour guides and everything was always on time - even the transfers and pick up guides were fantastic! We did not have to worry about a thing and could only enjoy ourselves! The hotels chosen were great and centrally located! I honestly cannot fault anything except that I wish more people and companies could learn the work ethic, responsibility and dedication that Trang and Lyn have shown! The communication with Trang and Lyn keeping us updated and just checking in on us were exceptional! We will truly never forget Trang and Lyn and our fabulous trip of a lifetime to Vietnam! Thank you, thank you, thank you again for making this trip so memorable and truly a trip of a lifetime!!! Will for sure recommend you to all family and friends and definitely use you again if we are fortunate enough to visit Vietnam again!!!

Vietnam's weather differs greatly from region to region.  Depending on where and when you're going to visit, make sure you prepare for the weather before you go.

North: Best time to visit is during spring (from February and April) and autumn (from September to November). The temperatures are more moderate with lighter rainfall

Central: Best time to visit is between January and August when the weather is dry with no heavy rains

South: The best time to visit the region is during the dry season, between December and April when the city experiences warm weather without rain showers.

If you're planning to visit the whole country, it is possible to travel to any part of Vietnam during any season.

A Response from Seni World 06/12/2018

Depending on your place of choice and your interest, the duration could be varied. Normally, for first- time travelers, it will take you about 10- 14 days to discover the must-see attractions throughout Vietnam.

A Response from Seni World 22/12/2018

There are two available methods for passport holders from South Africa to choose to apply for a visa to Vietnam. You can either apply for your visa at the local embassy or obtain a visa on arrival with a visa letter.

You need to have a passport which is effective for at least 6 months beyond arrival date, 2 photos 4x6 and 2 blank pages on it for visa stamp (which costs 25$) and a visa letter. When you book tours with vietnamtour.co.za, we will offer a visa letter for free. 

A Response from Seni World 03/11/2018

Our price doesn't consist of international flight tickets. If you have any problem in finding international flight tickets, we could book them for you.
