Discover Vietnam's wonders in Hanoi, the majestic Halong Bay & tropical beaches in Mũi Né or Phú Quốc - includes breakfast, private transfers & more

Discover Vietnam on a fascinating route that presents you with the highlights of the country from north to south. Your journey begins in the thousand-year-old capital Hanoi, a vibrant centre that enchants with colonial charm, bustling alleys and tranquil lakes. From here, the adventure will take you to the stunning Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where thousands of limestone islands rise out of the sea like emerald jewels - a magical panorama that you will experience up close during a cruise. After returning to the vibrant metropolis of Hanoi, your journey of discovery continues to the sunny south, where a well-deserved break by the sea awaits you.

Arrange your beach stay as you wish: opt for the impressive red sand dunes and the wide beaches of Mũi Né, the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure. Or swap this stop for the island paradise of Phú Quốc, known for its immaculate, palm-fringed beach and crystal clear sea. Your journey culminates in the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), a city that uniquely combines history and modern progress. This trip is a symphony of culture, breathtaking nature and pure enjoyment waiting to be experienced by you.

Optional excursions

If you would like to make your trip even more memorable, you can also book the following optional excursions. These excursions can be selected in the booking process:

Day 1: evening sightseeing tour of Hanoi

Let yourself be carried away to Hanoi in the evening, where each alley tells its own story. Your journey of discovery begins in the labyrinth of the old town before you are captivated by the magic of the water puppet theatre - a dance of water and light. Feel the day melt away with a 60-minute massage, followed by a top-notch dinner. Top off the evening with a glimpse into authentic Bia Hoi culture, where you'll toast to Vietnamese life among the locals.

Day 2: full-day Hanoi city tour with market visit

Immerse yourself in Hanoi's soul: from the awe-inspiring Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to the silence of the Temple of Literature and the unique One Pillar Pagoda, Vietnam's rich history awakens. Marvel at witnesses of the past at the B-52 Victory Museum before getting lost in the maze of the Old Town. The highlight? A visit to a lively open-air market for authentic culinary delights, followed by a hidden café where you can experience the artistic preparation of the legendary egg coffee up close.

Day 2: excursion to Quảng Phú Cầu and Ninh Bình with overnight stay

Your excursion begins with a drive from Hanoi to Ninh Bình. Along the way, stop in Quảng Phú Cầu, where you'll visit a local family's home to experience the ancient art of incense making - a visual feast of bright colours and craft tradition. Continue to Ninh Bình: climb the viewpoint of Hang Múa for a panoramic view over the "dry Halong Bay" and enjoy a romantic boat ride on the Ngo Dong through the majestic karst landscape. You will even spend the night in Ninh Bình and travel directly to Halong Bay the next day.

Day 11 or 13 (depending on itinerary): full-day excursion to the tunnels of Củ Chi and Ho Chi Minh City

Begin your adventure deep beneath the surface in the legendary tunnels of Củ Chi. This gigantic underground network tells a gripping story of ingenuity and survival in the Vietnam War. Crawl through the narrow passageways, see the hidden traps and feel the breath of history - a deeply moving experience.

Back in the sun, the modern wonder of Ho Chi Minh City awaits. Marvel at the Reunification Palace, a symbol of change and the magnificent colonial architecture of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Old Central Post Office. Finish the day with a feast for the senses in the chaos and colours of Bến Thành Market.

Day 12 or 14 (depending on itinerary): full-day excursion to the Mekong Delta

Escape the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City and immerse yourself in the authentic world of the Mekong Delta in Bến Tre. A leisurely cruise on the Mekong River on a charming apricot ship reveals the peaceful river landscape. Explore villages on foot or by bike, watch the traditional coconut harvest at a plantation and then glide through narrow waterways in a sampan. A tuk-tuk ride through idyllic landscapes rounds off the experience before enjoying local specialties and relaxing in the hammock - pure Vietnamese joie de vivre!
