Tour Overview

Eight days, three very different Vietnams. It begins in Hanoi, where the Old Quarter's storied 36 streets still trade under the names of the guilds that founded them, and Hoan Kiem Lake sits quiet beneath its red footbridge. From there the trail turns to the sea — three unhurried nights on Phu Quoc Island, riding the world's longest sea-crossing cable car to Hon Thom and drifting between snorkel stops on a chartered boat. The final leg lands in Ho Chi Minh City, where colonial spires, wartime history and the roar of the Old Quarter's motorbike traffic meet the Old Quarter's southern counterpart, the Old Quarter of Saigon's own District 1.

Highlights include a guided walk through Hanoi's Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake, a cable-car crossing to Hon Thom Island with an afternoon of snorkeling off Phu Quoc, a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta, and a city tour of Ho Chi Minh City's Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office and Reunification Palace.
