Itinerary

Discover the hub and the city’s spotlights on your way. Spend the night in Saigon.

Day 2: Saigon - Cu Chi Tunnels - City Tour (B)

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Cu Chi Tunnels which houses one of the most intense histories as well as amazing construction during the Vietnam War.

Cu Chi Tunnels is an immense network of underground rooms connected to one another which were used for multiple purposes including storage, clinic, hide-out, and meeting for Vietnamese soldiers. This extraordinary construction stretches for nearly 250 km which makes it even more awe-inspiring as well as unique. 

Thereupon, we will end our day back in Ho Chi Minh City and spend another night there. 

Day 3: Saigon - Fly to Hanoi - City Tour (B)

In the morning, enjoy your sumptuous breakfast at the hotel and then prepare your luggage for a flight to Hanoi. Among the most visited cities in Vietnam, Hanoi – the capital of the S-shaped country wins the first rank in the list.

Upon arriving at the airport, our guide will welcome you and together we head for the popular destinations in Hanoi, such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (outside visiting), the traditional stilt house, the revered One-Pillar Pagoda and the Temple of Literature – the first university of Vietnam. 

Later in the evening, to feel the city rhythm, taking a stroll along the vibrant, crowded streets in Hanoi’s Old Quarter – where is also a fantastic shopping place, is the most suitable. Here, just a single loop of browsing, you will be confused which one to buy since they have so many stuffs, foods and cool souvenirs.

Back to your hotel and spend a night there.

Halong Bay in the morning is gentle, peaceful, and beautiful and only early birds can contemplate that scenery. So, you should set the alarm clock to ring soon if you don’t want to miss it. Then, breakfast is served on board.

Perfect for first time visitors to Vietnam

(4.5)
“I chose this tour because I wanted a quick intro to Vietnam. Very happy with the service, transfers were smooth, hotels were clean and the English-speaking guides were great. Halong Bay was the standout, like something from a postcard. Only downside? Not enough time in Hanoi to try all the street food!”

Great way to see Vietnam in a short time!

(5.0)
“5 days was a bit rushed, but worth it for the experience. Saigon was vibrant, Hanoi had old world charm, and Halong Bay was absolutely breathtaking. Wish we had more time in each place, but that’s the trade-off for a short tour. The Halong Bay cruise was the highlight, great views and decent food. Overall, good value for money!”

“I didn’t come for the food, but wow, the street food blew me away. Especially in Hanoi – the bun cha and egg coffee were unforgettable. The meals on the Halong cruise were also much better than I expected for a tour. Vietnam’s food culture is something else.”

“Loved the contrast between the south and north. Saigon was fast and loud, while Hanoi felt more traditional and atmospheric. And then Halong Bay was just the cherry on top. The cruise was clean, relaxing, and well-staffed.”
